Hi,

You could do a search and replace of 'clock' with 'MyClock' then #declare 
MyClock = 4*clock;

You could then use nested #if, #else, #end statements to do the job in a 
single animation:

#if (MyClock<1)
  ...
#else
  #if (MyClock < 2)
    ....
  #else
    .... etc. ....
  #end
#end

You could also use #switch, #range, #break and #end which would probably be 
a little neater:

#switch (MyClock)
  #range (0,1)
     ....
  #break
  #range (1,2)
    ....
  #break
  ....   etc. ....
#end

Yes it certainly does :-)

p.s. The separation of the posts is about six times your penguin's stride, 
yet he covers the distance in just two paces giving him the appearance of 
gliding forward. So you may consider making it a six pace animation or 
investing in Ice skates.
