help with spanim for animation, so basically i did everything right (i think) but the animation dosent go, but when i stop the program it starts playing. how do i make it play when the program is going and not stopped?

Not many people understand SPANIM. I recommend you ask SBS.

Could you screenshot the bit of code? The thing that comes to mind right now is that if you have the full SPANIM wrapped in a WHILE loop. That would prevent it from playing unless you do something like WHILE 1'or whatever I=I+1 IF I>(whatever I+3 is) THEN I=(base value) SPANIM 1,"I",4,I,1 WAIT 1 WEND Hope you find the issue soon.

oops I made a mistake, I think wait has to be equal to the frame number in spanim

kk ill show it a bit later cause now im really busy (having people at our house today)

kk ill go grab a picture

I tried out your code and got a type mismatch. However, it worked fine after removing the white space between 1207 and the next ANS. I don't think spanim processes white space so you'll have to keep the animation data in a single line
