Hello,

when I use „ent_animate” the entity returns after
“var percent” is 100 to its first frames.
If I place many enemies in my level they aren’t stopping
their die frames until all enemies got no my._health left.
They die, stop, die again and when I killed all enemies
they die and then return to their first fame and stop.
Why? I use my.skill2 as the “var percent” so they
should be independent.
And why don’t they stop at their last die frame?

The same strange effect can be found at my gun.
It moves and then it moves the first frame again
(but the “var percent” is limited to 100 and then the
animation should stop)

What’s wrong with ent_animate the way I try to use it?

Code:

---

action enemy(){
my._health=100;
while(my._health>0){
wait(1);}
my.skill2=0;
while(my.skill2<100){my.skill2+=5*time;if(my.skill2>100){my.skill2=100;}
ent_animate(me,"die",my.skill2,ANM_cycle);wait(1);}
my.passable=ON;}

---

My gun uses vertex animations and my enemy uses bones.

if the animation is not cyclic (like walking or running), you shouldn't use anm_cycle... that will make the last frame of the animation blend with the first, that's why it's not stopping in the last frame.

but the problem of having to kill all of the enemies, i don't know...

Thanks!
ent_animate(me,"die",my.skill2,null);
that stops the enemies going back to the first frame.

But they still seem to be not independent.
I have to kill all to stop them from shaking and starting
to walk again.

hm, i remembered there's a bug related to bones animation, when several entities use the same mdl file.
as i remeber, you could solve this bug by setting the u and v parameters of the entities to anything != 0...
try putting this in the enemies action:
Code:

---

action enemy(){
my.u = 0.01;
my.v = 0.01;
etc...

---

That works!
What a strange bug!
