Could you make a video tutorial for object animation? Can walls/floors also be animated? Thanks!

Also, how do I import PNG with alpha transparency?

Thanks for all the tutorials you have made so far!
Some people might need a HUD setup tutorial.

I've added the object animation tutorial. Cool

Unfortunately walls and floors cannot be animated. However you can create moving platforms or even moving walls with the door element. The door is actually a cube, scaled to 1x32x1, but you can scale it to any dimension.

The alpha transparency for PNGs is not yet implemented. In general, the black color (rgb:0,0,0) of the texture can be set as totally transparent. This feature can be switched on/off on each texture.

You can display a text or play a video, when a trigger is activated.
Pop up the trigger's form and go to the Activation tab.

Is it placing the weapon on the HUD or general player HUD with design elements?

You've already made a weapon placement tutorial, right? So setting up a general HUD would be more useful to people.
Or at least it might. I do remember one person having trouble with their HUD, but that's it. If everyone is fine with their HUDs it doesn't need a tutorial.

How about a delay in weapon firing?

For instance a chain gun - It warms up before it fires - is this possible?

you need another software to animate an object (milkshape, fragmotion, character fx, pacemaker) then you extract the animation in actor properties (stand, walk, attack...).

Yup. Used fragmotion to convert an .md2 model to blitz whateveritis. Set only stand animation in the "E" dialog for test. Just stood there, occaisionally doing a 90 degree turn without animations. Have other things to do than multiple trial and error.
