Animating

[limeTree]

I dont know if this is the right place to ask this.
I have seen on the other posts a animated character that is animating right now on the screen.
I am a begginer,i would like how to make such animating and how to make it in the post to move?
Thanks in advance.

Rather simple:

1. You make each from of the animation and save them somewhere.

2. Import them in sprite manger and put them in a loop.

3. now pick 'run script'

4. put this in the scripts:

Code: ags

character[EGO].LockView(5);
character[EGO].Animate(3, 1, 0, eBlock, eBackwards);
character[EGO].UnlockView();

this will animate characrter EGO using loop 3 of view 5. of course if you used an other view/loop number you must replace it.

I hope it helped 

PS: It's all in the manual, thats how I found out.

Just to clarify: Are you (lipaoklipa) talking about posting an animated character on the forums, or doing something within AGS?
If so, then this is the wrong forum - Adventure-Related Talk and Chat, or General Discussion would be then place for such questions, let me know an I'll move the thread. The answer would be to make the animation into an animated gif, which you post the same way you would with any image. If you don't have anything to make animated gifs, try Googling for it, or a Forum Search or the Big List of Paint Programs might turn something up.

If that WASN'T what you where after, and Buckethead's post didn't help, can you explain the problem in a bit more detail.
