 So I've got this shield all sprited out that will hopefully spring a boxing glove out of it. The problem is that the animation for the shield is 21 frames, and I don't know how to work with so many sprites. In particular I am confused about SpriteAnimDuration. Any help? The file is attached below.

Just a hypothesis, but I would think SpriteAnimDuration would be how long the animation is active before either idling or stopping altogether. Perhaps in intervals. If there was a way to change the number of frames per second one could possibly change the speed of the animation. I'll check out the code for a better look, though. EDIT: Well... what if the device itself emitted the glove, which had its animation... and then, uh... you'd still have to determine the animation speed, which could possibly be determined by SpriteAnimDuration... I think. I've really been wondering about variable animation speed myself, honestly. |

SpriteAnimDuration simply defines how long the engine takes to show all the frames in a sprite. It is measured in milisseconds, so a SpriteAnimDuration of 1000 means that your sprite will take a single second to show completely, 2000 = 2 seconds, etc. To determine how long each frame will last, divide the total duration by the number of frames. For example, 20 frames in 2000 milisseconds would make each frame last 2000/20=100, that is, 0,1 second. |

It's just that if I give it a high value, it doesn't seem to play the frames at a slower speed at all. They always play out the same: about 2 or 3 quick and sketchy frames, then nothing. |

Have you tried giving it a very low number? |
