Does it have to be an animation? Can't you do it much easier? What I personally would do is make a private variable for the stick.

Always:Subtract from Stick('timer') 1*timedelta
Stick:Timer less or equal to 0:Stick destroy
Stick:Timer less or equal to 0:Stick>Create object BALL[/code:9ffwlrfn]

Ok I don't know what exactly you mean but here are all the weapons you named. Hope it's correct. . .

To change the text, all you do is say

The event you want to happen:Set text to="Text here"

You can make the arm a seperate sprite. Sprite=set position to player at image point 1 (where the arm should be duh) and say its angle to mouseX and mouseY. On click make BULLET

Here is what I would do. I would make a private variable and say

MouseKeyboard:Button is down>Add to Timer 1*timedelta

What would you use this for anyway? Just curious. . .

Well. You can make an invisible block with no solid attributes or anythig. Then you can say:

Player:On collision with INVISIBLE block:Set private variable speed=player[Platform].Speed

and in the same event:player:set private variable angle=player.angle

Here is a cap:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7605789/Privatevariable.cap

Maybe upload the .cap so I can see the scripting. May be able to help but I don't know whats "under the hood '. ..

You can right click one and say copy, and to paste right click and say PASTE CLONE. Problem solved. . .

Ok FIRSTLY:

The movement, i'm guessing thats 8-dir movement? You can go to acceleration speed and say 9999 instead of 1200.

SECONDLY:

Animation angles are for platformers mostly (i think) so that if you go left in platformer the character will face left etc.

I'm not sure as i haven't tried but if you go to objects families tab you can choose icons to represent them. Maybe its what shows on the minimap. . .

Maybe try, and tell me any results you got.

Or what you can do easily (If you are looking from a top view) is give it bullet movement, and put an invisible block at corners.

Train>On collision with>Turn_right_square:Train=Turn 90*
