object[0].SetPosition(60, -10);
object[0].Animate(0, 2, eRepeat); // eRepeat if insert...not work!!

I believe this should be in the Beginners forum

I have this in my game, which is a UFO spinning and flying across the screen....might help

 object[0].SetView(VSpin);   //Set your objects view, this should be the one of your UFO spinning, you can also just type the # of the view too.
 object[0].Animate(0, 2, eRepeat, eNoBlock, eForwards);   //This will animate your object to spin with eNoBlock so you can move the object with the move command
 object[0].Move(900, 156, 3, eBlock, eAnywhere);  //This will move your object across the screen

The default blocking for Object.Animate is eBlock, so if you call it with just eRepeat, what you actually call is:

Code: ags

  object[0].Animate(0, 2, eRepeat, eBlock, eForwards);

A repeating animation that blocks the game will pretty much make your game appear to hang. Since the object is still off-screen at this point, you don't see anything.

Use:

Code: ags

  object[0].Animate(0, 2, eRepeat, eNoBlock);

Also, why are you using object[0]? Is this code in the global script? Because in room scripts, you can use the actual object name. So if you named it oUfo, you could do oUfo.Animate(...); which is much more readable.
I'd really be interested where you got object[0] from since several newbies have used this without a good reason but it's a sort of "advanced" way and usually not well-known among beginners.
