hey guys i have a problem, yes i know so as a lot of people. well i have an animated model i just want to constantly loop over and over as is. i seem to lose all the model completely yet is there. i have checked my model with the door script and works perfectly it will animate as a door would and shows my model. yet i used the animated palm fpe and changed all the needed. yet when i place i get captain invisible. i am obviously missing something simple here.



cheers in advance on any possible reasons



ps i am set on default script in main and i have set all possible anims etc

Add this to your fpe file and it should loop in game







If it's already there change it from =0 to =1

It sounds like the animation itself has a problem.



I've had the issue before where the animation isn't correct or hasn't exported correctly, as soon as test game is run the model moved very quickly in to the ground with animation not working. If it's in a loop it will disappear as soon as you run the game.

All that does is, animates the model inside the entity.

Nice model mate.



Great idea as well. Although, you will want to keep an eye on how fast its rotating as the water won't be doing a great amount. It will almost look as though the wheel is powering the water.
