In your case, since you only have 228, it might be that too many are active after a certain point in the game. Make a copy of your project for experimentation purposes....eliminate some animated objects and see if this cures the problem....also try using antitriggers to turn off animations whenever they no longer need to be on such as torches burning in a room when you aren't in the room, mummies that may have been activated but aren't killed.....you can trigger things on and off as needed. Hope this works...let us know!!! [This message has been edited by Reb@Eidos (edited 01-19-2001).] IP: Logged
