I am having a lot of trouble getting animations to display with EntityMove. I try to display more than one special frame in sequence, and the log file only keeps track of it ever having displayed one frame (like only frame 10, for example), even if EntityMove contains 10 or 11 different frames, with or without a W wait command in the movestring. It could be the way in which I am using ProcessEntities, but I'm not too sure.

Also, the logical rendering process goes (Render everything to screen buffer) then finally use ShowPage, right? For some reason I can only get everything to display correctly if I showpage then Render. Either I am confused about how each function works or there is something seriously wrong with my program.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try calling ProcessEntities(), then Render(), then ShowPage();.

When you call Render(), it basically redraws the screen, erasing everything except the map and VC-linked R layer. Showpage() blows everything to screen. If you want your code to stay up, don't call Render. But then, people are going to notice that your maps and entities stop working, because Render() is what draws those to video memory.

Of course, I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

Pressed Enter accidentally. Anyways, I am going to use entity.specframe with a manual timer, as my other options seem limited. Thanks to Mythril for that. Also, thanks for your clarification of the rendering commands Omni. See you guys around, I'm sure I'll have more questions.
