Ok i have a model that I want to use as the badguys in a game, I want to have 3 or so on the screen at one time. The problem is that if I assign two differnet actoins to different copies of the one model all of the copies fallow the animations of just one of the actions...??? Why is this? Why cant two copies of one model have two different animations running at the same time?

well then I gues you just have to write 3 different actions

That depends on your script.

Code:

---

action char_action
{
  	while(my == NULL) {wait(1);}

	while(my.skill1 == 1)  // set skill1 to 1 in WED
	{
		ent_animate(my,"walk",my.skill2,anm_cycle);
		my.skill2 += 5 * time_step;
		my.skill2 %= 100;
		wait(1);
	}
	
	
	while(my.skill1 == 2)   // set skill1 to 2 in WED
	{
		ent_animate(my,"attack",my.skill2,anm_cycle);
		my.skill2 += 5 * time_step;
		my.skill2 %= 100;
		wait(1);
	}
}

Thank you all for your replys let me try to explain a little better. I have different "actions" controlling the different copyies, all movments and animations are based on skills so no globa var. are being used to mess things up. But no matter what the different actoins tell the copyies to do, ALL of them only display one animation even if some are movine, attacking or just being idel. the strange part is when you move the screen so only one is on frame at a time they behave correctly. Whats going on??

I suggest test your code with cbabe.mdl, if it still doesn't
work, the problem should be coming from your script, post your
codes here.

Are you using template script?
