Character Animation & Creation of New Characters

[crg]

I'm a novice with AGS and I'm trying to create a scene from a book.  I have 3 questions that I can't seem to figure out how to resolve:

(1) How do I animate characters using AGS?

(2) How do I create new characters that look different from each other without importing them?  I tried to import a character that I created with a Paint program, but the game would only let me import AGS characters.

(3) How do I using an inventory item on a character.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Read the BFAQ and the manual (comes with AGS - press F1 to open it - or is available on-line).

Specifically, you want:
1)
The Character.Animate command (or the 'Character - Quick animation' Interaction Editor command). Possibly lessons 6 and 7 of the tutorial in the manual (Contents -> Tutorial -> Starting off).

2)
To read this BFAQ entry, and the one after it.

3)
To read this BFAQ entry.

Please read through the BFAQ, the manual, and the forums before asking in future, and Welcome to AGS.
