A running intro

[DartzPie]

I have a question, when you make a character run in the arena/battlefield how you make it run to its initiated spot (P1/P2) to any stage.  I noticed this issue after I done it on a different stage where the character stops before it goes to the P1/P2 spot.

Step 1)  Make the intro animation blank

Step 2)  Create a helper that uses an animation that is the player running (or moving however you want).  Said helper should be spawned by the edge of the screen.

Step 3)  Destroy the helper when it reaches (or exceeds) the player's location

Step 4) Change player animation when helper is destroyed

Ok so the part in red is going to be for the empty animation? :o 

 

The Green part is for the animation that is going to be use/helper?

[NotAGoodName]

Yep.  The real character doesn't move.  Just stands there with an invisible frame.

[DartzPie]

Im kind of confused on this coding.... like what parts should I use... when I made a blank animation "9000" it still appears.
