Hi! I've been slowly converting old FPSC assets to work in Reloaded. This is my first attempt at an animated object, the ceiling fan from Modern Day 2. I made a Lua script for the animation, and it will animate in the editor. If I launch the game, it won't animate. If I go into 3D edit mode, it will play the animation once, but if I add another fan while in 3D edit mode, it will loop indefinitely, or at least until I go back to the editor mode and relaunch. I've tried numerous times to get a continuous loop, including calling the function immediately after it ends, to no avail. Does anybody have any suggestions? Here is my current lua fanmove script:







Here's a video of what I mean (if it works):

I have found that animation loops without LUA scripting, all that was required was anim info in the .fpe. Boned and vertex animations both run, with issues only with vertex anims which tend to be real slow.

I too tried to use scripting to run these without success but it's early days and still trying to get to grips with LUA



I can only assume your script is playing the animation once then ends, perhaps you need to find a way to either loop the script or a function to loop the anim once it's triggered. It will play looped in the editor if: playanimineditor = 1 regardless of any scripting.



I have been testing out some destructible buildings, roads etc and your script will likely be what I am looking for to get a start since I was wanting play and stop, I will try it out later



Still till we get decal,videotextures or at least explosions of some sort and a way to trigger these scripted as well then it's all a long way off.

LOL, thanks, Rolfy, you were correct! I just deleted my script and now it's animating! That is so funny and kinda aggravating at the same time, as I spent all morning trying to figure it out, trying to loop the function when I didn't actually need the function. I learned something, at least, actually two things, so I guess it was a worthwhile endeavor. Thanks again!
