Hello, I have a problem with the animation of my Models . I have a troll for my project . The following animation phases I have already assigned to the troll .

1 ) walk
2 ) 6x attack
3 ) idle
4 ) 2x dying

The animation phases run all quite good . One problem I have but . If the attacking troll , then the attack animation only 2x is played. Then the player freezes .

Do you have any idea why this may be ?

Here the script :

It looks like you just need to set the state back after applying the damage.

yes but your code to determine which attack animation to play requires the state to not be "attack"
i believe your code is getting to this point

Quote: " if ai_soldier_state[e] == "attack" then
RotateToPlayer(e)
if GetAnimationFrame(e)>damageframestart[e] and GetAnimationFrame(e)<damageframeend[e] then
if GetPlayerDistance(e)<120 and lastswipe[e]==0 then
PlaySound(e,1)
HurtPlayer(e,g_Entity[e]['health']/4)
lastswipe[e]=1
end
end
if GetAnimationFrame(e)<damageframestart[e] then
lastswipe[e]=0
end
end"

and then there's nothing to "reset" it unless you move away?

if i'm right then this should fix it

This could explain a problem I'm having with a script of my own as well. As im using pretty much the same lines of code there and its not going back unless the player steps back.

Ok , many thanks . Now it is error free .

I have a few questions for animation script .

1 ) which states ( patrol , attack , idle , batch ... ) , are the hardcodet ? In all scripten uniform are these designations . Responds the engine then this states ?

2 ) My troll should first patrol and when he sees the player make a droit animation . Then he should go to the run mode .

I have now tried the droit animation to put into the script . All thing freezes the animation when the troll the player sees .

+ Code Snippet

 if PlayerDist < 600 then
 
 
 
  if GetPlayerDistance(e )< 100 then
  
  
  
   if ai_soldier_state[e] ~= "attack" then
    AIEntityStop(EntObjNo)
    ai_soldier_state[e] = "attack"
   CharacterControlLimbo(e)  
    randomattack=math.random(1,8)       
 	 if randomattack == 1 then
     attackstart[e]=541
 	attackend[e]=592
 	damageframestart[e]=540
 	damageframeend[e]=570
     end

If the player nächer than 600 units , then recognizes the troll the player and reacts with the animation state patrol .

Now I have installed before the attack animation a droit animation, to be played only once . I have to wait for state use . However, the animation freezes . Is this due to the state designation or the wrong code ?
