Waiting between commands

  That looks like a job for a timer object. Check out the Timer class.

  You can tell the application to wait until all pending actions have completed by using Application.DoEvents(). Otherwise, you could force the entire application to pause for a certain amount of time by using Threading.Thread.Sleep(pauseLengthInMilliseconds).

  Isn't there an other way I have made a simple sprite and I want to make it jump, but it moves so fast that you cant see it and I want to take a short rest between the times he moves.

  to be a little clearer her's the script

   

  If e.KeyCode = Keys.Up And rtrn = 0 Then

  Pos.Y -= 3

  'I want him to wait here for a short time but not a program freeze

  Pos.Y -= 3

  Pos.Y -= 3

  Pos.Y -= 3

  Pos.Y -= 3

  Pos.Y -= 3

  Pos.Y -= 3

  Pos.Y -= 3

  Pos.Y -= 3

  Pos.Y -= 3

  Pos.Y -= 3

  Pos.Y -= 3

  Pos.Y += 3

  Pos.Y += 3

  Pos.Y += 3

  Pos.Y += 3

  Pos.Y += 3

  Pos.Y += 3

  Pos.Y += 3

  Pos.Y += 3

  Pos.Y += 3

  Pos.Y += 3

  Pos.Y += 3

  Pos.Y += 3

  Dir = "upr"

  Frame += 1

  If Frame = 7 Then Frame = 1

  Loc = "img/" & Dir & Frame & ".gif"

  Me.Invalidate()

  End If
