Character animation

Hi,
I downloaded that animated dwarf mesh from psionic, and I studied the code, on how to animate it. That is all good.
However, whenever I want to use the running animation when i am moving forward,
tried this:

;move character forward
If KeyDown( 200 )=True Then MoveEntity char,0,0,.08 
;animate character while moving forward
If KeyDown( 200 )=True Then Animate char,1,.2,seq,1

And while i was holding the up arrow, he froze in the air with his legs apart, so i took my finger off of the arrow key, and he was running.

I would like to know how to animate a character while moving forward. It is probably obvious but...


Also, No matter how many times I checked the entityradius, and stuff, he has been floating about 0,1,0 above the ground

Is it a problem w/ the mesh?
I kinda dismissed that, since, this psionic guy looks like he knows what he is doing.

Any help would be great!
