I posted this question in Real Soon Now (another of Gamedev''s forums). Then I realised that if anyone would know the answer to my question, it would be opengl people http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=94073 is the link to my query. I won''t copy and paste it, some may consider it spam. As always, all help is greatly appreciated.

i guess i can help, look for the line in which you find the following:

frame++;

remove this part, and put it out side of the function that calls it, now you can move forward in the animation as you like, you just have to do the following:

milkshape_model_name->frame ++;

if (milkshape_model_name->frame == 24)
milkshape_model_name->frame = 0;

if (VK_SPACE)
{
milkshape_model_name->frame = 25 // supposing that 25 is the start of your jumb animation frame
if (milkshape_model_name->frame == 40)
milkshape_model_name->frame = 0; // jumb done
}

please send me if it works i need to know if that helped or not ...
