Has ent_animate changed? I am having problem with a very simple piece of code....

it does not animate even with tried and true models like the warlock...

var anim_cycle;

action guss()
{

player = my;
set(my,SHADOW);
my.material = mat_alphatest;

while(1)
{

ent_animate(my,"run",anim_cycle,ANM_CYCLE);
anim_cycle += 5 * time_step;
anim_cycle %= 100;

my.pan -= mouse_force.x + mouse_force.x;

wait(1);
}
}

..this is very simple, but does not work???? what am I missing?

no problems here... unless i place a bone in the model? then ceases all vertex animations

using

other things i can think of (sorry to go through the basics, but the fresh pair of eyes etc...):
you haven't attached the action
the frames are named "run 1" instead of "run1"
you've given the actor a global var for anim_cycle, and too many entities are making it 0 again (yes i'm clutching at straws)

Yes, of course! the global....thanks..I will go change it....

Well I double checked and it was not the global, it seems to work fine with a global, but sure enough "show bones" was unchecked in MED....problem solved. Thanks.
