The vertex animation will come first then the bone animation, thus rendering the vertex animation useless... I'm using Lite-C Free, BTW...

I have used bone rotate to rotate the head, but the vertex animation will not play WHILE the bone is rotating. How many times do I have to rewrite this post? I do NOT need code to rotate the bone, I know how to do this, I need to know how to play vertex animation WHILE the bone is being rotated. This is why I don't even bother coming to this site anymore, usually. Geez... Making dreams come true... And being erroneously accused of software piracy by Conitec in the process.

Quote: If the scene contains bones animation, the instruction does not alter the frame and next_frame parameters, but modifies the entity's skeleton. Only bones affected by the given scene are set to their new orientation; bones not affected by this scene keep their old state. By executing this instruction several times for different animation scenes, bones animations are combined. Bones animation can also be combined with vertex animation. Making dreams come true...

Try rotating the neck bone in MED just to verify. Then, in your code, while playing vertex animation (or frame animation) achieve via ent_animate(), add your code to rotate the "neck" bone achieve via bone_rotate() try to look in my thread, for reference: http://www.opserver.de/ubb7/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=32805&Number=267788#Post267788 Hope that helps.

Whenever I try to get the vertex animation to play while the bone is rotating, it does not work. It only allows me to have one or the other currently, when the manual states otherwise.
