How exactly do the 'Create Animated Sprites' and 'Play Animated Sprites' commands work? I don't see a way to set a number of frames or which part of the image makes up those frames in either the Command Help or the Examples. When I use the syntax:

create animated sprite 1[Command],"PlayerCar.bmp"[Filename],50[Across],90[Down],1[Image #]

...followed by...

play sprite 1[Command],1[Start Frame],2[End Frame],100[Delay]

...it doesn't work.

Syntax problem, missing command, or something else?

-Somehow I doubt tech specs matter in this case.-

Be more specific than "it doesn't work" - do you get an error message?

Personally I think it's a lil funky too, so I do the animation "manually" - it takes a little bit more code but in the end it turns out nicely.

No, there's no 'error' message, it just doesn't display the sprite. And how would I animate the sprite manually?

you may be copy over the SPRITE on the screen so try SET SPRITE PRIORITY 1,1 this will draw the SPRITE over evey thing elss.

Nope, that didn't work... Could someone just give me code for creating and playing a multi-frame sprite?

The way DBP handles animated sprites is complety different then any other language but heres a example.

set sprite 1,0,1
create animated sprite 1,"rocks.bmp",5,5,1
do
cls
play sprite 1,1,25,100
sprite 1,100,100,1
sync
loop

This will take a bitmap in this case rocks.bmp and cut into 25 little pictures 5 across and 5 down.
play sprite must be in your loop

hope it helps,
CTP
