Auto-play Character animation

[Taylor]

I seem to be having very poor luck with my code. ANYWAY. I want to play out the sequence of sprites in Character file, keeping the same direction, but a different file.

PHP Code:

<?php

  # Weapons

  SHB_WP = {

  1 => {

  'Id'        => 1,

  'Damage'    => 10,

  'Type'      => 'Melee',

  'Graphic'   => '_SWD_01',



[...]
