Problem: IDLE anim plays between scripted sequences. Created 5 years ago2019-11-13 16:30:21 UTC by abbadon

Well, this is weird. I did scripted sequences before but this time I am having troubles because the IDLE animation plays between each scripted sequence making all look wrong.
Here´s my multimager and scripted_sequences setup.Just in case, this is the QC file of the model.What can you see that´s wrong?. I have used the same scripted sequence and multimanager setup of other sequence but with only the names changed.

Also. How can I do so the turrets will not shoot where Bip01 is and shoot to the center of mass of the model?

Please. I tried the tuts and something is wrong because the idle anim still plays between each animation.Could someone give me a basic setup for this?.

1.Trigger Auto activates Multimanager
2.Multimanager starts each animation at a given time(aiscript or script), now I am not sure of what should I use, because I used those for generic monsters without problems, the problem came because of me using a monster with its own AI (the handofgod monster).
3.Once done the monster starts its own AI, idleing and attacking.

Help. If you need files, or the Mod, or whatever thinng you say, just tell.

Any solution ?, I'm still looking to remedy this problem.
PS: don't answer all at once, please!

Are there any errors in the console?
Also, it looks like scripted_sequence sets some flags to override the target's AI - are you respecting these flags in your new monster?

The monster must have not its AI activated because it start to attack even before finishing the scripted sequence , also there is the idle problem, it performs the idle between each scripted sequence. I am thinking about Quark be the culprit :/

I doubt the map editor is the problem. Did you write your AI from scratch or copy it from something else?

It´s a copy of the zombie, with minor modifications: it´s a flying monster (if not, it fall to the ground) for the trace attack function ( it emits sparks if you shot at it) and the punch angle once it hits the player, which in this case is monstruous (300/500 while in the Ichtyosaur is 5 or 8).

Aniway, I did some tests last night (2:00 p.m... I´m tired) and the animations played ok, except that when finished the script, the idle animation returns to the idle-off animation by itself, I think is because the monster lacks of the attack animation yet (i am working on this animation right now).

I will do further tests and see what happen once the model is 100% finished. I can pass you the Mod for you to test it if you want with the map file so you can see what´s wrong in case it fails again.

Thanks Tschumann!!!

Well...no avail. Now I cannot give you the aiscript setup, but the moster still do crazy things instead of what it should do...I will try to do a vídeo to show you what this monster is behaving.

I don't know - probably do some debugging and see what is setting the idle animation in the code.

It "works". It plays ok the animations but showing 0.5-1 sec of the idle animation just before the second aiscripted sequence is played. Oh. It seem to ignore the player or the bots, it does not attack them...

And, sorry for posting ALL the code...

Any ideas?.

Nevermind. I kinda fixed it. Thanks tschumann
