How do you make an animation loop? I changed mauls deflect anim to his dashattack one and it played, just only once
i tried adding loop(1) and restartanimation(1) to the state, but no luck
heres the important part

Code: Select all

State("DEFLECT")
{
    Posture("Stand");
    Sound("imp_weap_lightsabre_block");
    Animation("stand_dashattack")
    {
        Loop(1);
        AimType("None");
        BlendInTime(0.15);
        BlendOutTime(0.15);
        LowResPose(0, "Frames");
    }
    RestartAnimation();

    Duration(0.0);  // infinite duration, looping anim

    InputLock(0.0, "All", "!Thrust");   // lock all but move controller for duration of state
    EnergyRestoreRate(0.0);   // drain energy while ready to deflect
    Deflect()
    {
        DeflectAngle(-60, 60);  // deflect anything from forward arc
        EnergyCost(10.0);

        DeflectAnimation("stand_dashattack", "Forward")
        {
            // AimType("Torso");
            BlendInTime(0.00);
            BlendOutTime(0.05);
            LowResPose(5, "Frames");
        }
        DeflectAnimation("stand_dashattack", "Forward")
        {
            // AimType("Torso");
            BlendInTime(0.00);
            BlendOutTime(0.05);
            LowResPose(5, "Frames");
        }
        DeflectAnimation("stand_dashattack", "Left")
        {
            // AimType("Torso");
            BlendInTime(0.00);
            BlendOutTime(0.05);
            LowResPose(5, "Frames");
        }
        DeflectAnimation("stand_dashattack", "Left")
        {
            // AimType("Torso");
            BlendInTime(0.00);
            BlendOutTime(0.05);
            LowResPose(5, "Frames");
        }
        DeflectAnimation("stand_dashattack", "Right")
        {
            // AimType("Torso");
            BlendInTime(0.00);
            BlendOutTime(0.05);
            LowResPose(5, "Frames");
        }
        DeflectAnimation("stand_dashattack", "Right")
        {
            // AimType("Torso");
            BlendInTime(0.00);
            BlendOutTime(0.05);
            LowResPose(5, "Frames");
        }
    }

why would you have it to loop..?

That'll just mean that this single animation will be played until another one is activated, right? imagine to loop the landing animation

when he stands still it plays this animation over and over again... May I ask again - why, you wanna loop a deflect animation to his dashattack?

Ever played Shaakti?
lol
I ended up just using her combo
though it still isnt working right

Ah Shaak Ti Awsomeness.
I can't help you really, but If you figure something out to make that work, I would very much like it for my map.

Shaak Ti used custom animations I was asked not to release. The best thing you can do is just have her use someone else's combo since there's no decent animations for deflecting.

Hmm... It could be someone who I helped alienate from GT...

He worked for LA.

if you're talking about Fred I have my doubts... I know that because I talk to him myself

And he doesn't have much understanding of animations, and if I remember right there's more than him around who worked for Pandemic and/or LA

Nonetheless, the final fact is that it won't be release.

Ever got the respond to your question(s), broomfighter?
