okey, i have this hammer, which will appear on the middle of the screen... [pre] ------ | | ------ || || || [/pre] okey what i want is, rotates slowly a bit to the right, then after a few secs, rotates very fast to the left and smashes right into the ground! this is how will i do it. hammerTimer == Start timer for hammer's animation... if hammerTimer < 3 seconds then, rotate hammer to the right if hammerTimer > 3 seconds && < 4 seconds then rotate hammer to the left very fast if hammerTimer > 4 seconds && < 10 seconds then display smoke particle effects on ground and fade hammer if hammerTimer > 10 seconds then animation is done, everything should be cleared/faded. how about you? i feel awkward seeing that long list of code in my program.. many thanks [edited by - mickey on September 11, 2002 10:58:20 AM]

STOP!

Hammer time.

ROFL! Too funny (I was thinking the same thing). I like the stop icon too, nice touch.

ahh i see, thanks!

but are all animations like that? based on checking and comparing the time value, if it''s okey i''d like to hear more ways..

jwalker: key frame animation?

thanks!

key frame animation is the type of animation from software like 3dstudio max. Basically, the model is transformed using a series of matrix at a certain time interval.

just like .X file animation
