How do I get the game to animate automatically?

How do i get and object to animate as soon as i enter the room. And how do i animate the object after a certain time.

AnimateObject  to animate the object on room load (check the manual for all the parameters pertinent to the animation you require).

As for animate the object after a certain amount of time - if it's for a cutscene, just use the Wait command before using AnimateObject. If it's something you want to have happen in the background while the player is exploring the room, use a Timer and a repeatedly_execute check. (Again, this is in the manual.) The code might look something like this:

Player enters screen (after fade in):
SetTimer(1, 100);

repeatedly execute:
if (IsTimerExpired(1) == 1) {
  AnimateObject(x, x, x, x);
}

That should do the trick.
