Animation timing help

[dabomb6]

Hey im in a real hurry right now and im almost done this thing. my problem is i can get the smoke (near bottom) to come on and stay on during the wheels spinning(spoke animation) please help! and also, the maple leaf isnt high in my priorities but if i can get that to start and stay on at the same time as everythign else that would be nice.
thanks!

From Front Tire Burn Out, I suggest doing what you want in a for loop to tidy up all the drawline functions you have.

[dabomb6]

doesnt help me with timing though. please i still need help!

[dabomb6]

i really need some help. please!

[syntax_error]

well as you said your problem was trouble running 2 times at the same time
this maybe a bad idea but make your animations into a proc
and then fork them so that you can run both together at the same time
hope that answers your concerns
any other questions ask

[HeavenAgain]

ok for your maple leaf.... just draw it at the beginning of your code since you are not clearning the screen or anything, it'll always bethere
and for the tire spinning
change everything from

code:

%spokes ...... end for

into

code:

%spokes process iDontKnow loop drawline (450, 100, 425, 115, black) drawline (430, 88, 421, 113, black) drawline (387, 110, 413, 118, black) drawline (387, 110, 413, 118, black) drawline (390, 135, 413, 125, black) drawline (425, 155, 420, 127, black) drawline (448, 140, 427, 125, black) delay(50) drawline (450, 100, 425, 115, white) drawline (430, 88, 421, 113, white) drawline (387, 110, 413, 118, white) drawline (387, 110, 413, 118, white) drawline (390, 135, 413, 125, white) drawline (425, 155, 420, 127, white) drawline (448, 140, 427, 125, white) delay(50) %spokes moved drawline (435, 90, 423, 113, black) drawline (410, 88, 417, 113, black) drawline (387, 125, 412, 122, black) drawline (407, 152, 416, 127, black) drawline (445, 145, 426, 126, black) drawline (455, 117, 427, 118, black) delay (50) drawline (435, 90, 423, 113, white) drawline (410, 88, 417, 113, white) drawline (387, 125, 412, 122, white) drawline (407, 152, 416, 127, white) drawline (445, 145, 426, 126, white) drawline (455, 117, 427, 118, white) delay (50) drawline (450, 100, 425, 115, black) drawline (430, 88, 421, 113, black) drawline (387, 110, 413, 118, black) drawline (387, 110, 413, 118, black) drawline (390, 135, 413, 125, black) drawline (425, 155, 420, 127, black) drawline (448, 140, 427, 125, black) end loop end iDontKnow fork iDontKnow

and hey, do you know how does a for loop work? if you dont.... i mean, you are using it........... for n: 1..1 %38? what does that mean? you are only running this for loop 1 time, whats the point of having it then?
you should ask your teacher for some help.
and i am sorry for using process....... but i'm sorry i cant help it, its the easiest way to solve your problem even if it is the wrong way (which it is)

[Sean]

First off, procedure and for loops will tidy it up and get what you want. Also, please, please, shorten the code, it can be alot easier with for loops, will cut down alot.
