Playertype Animation Problem {SOLVED}

[Chao]

Lately, I've been working on a new playertype, and it mostly works except for one part: The Animations.
I have my animation in a DSQ file called "Mushroom_Root.dsq", and I have a base shape file called "Orange_Mushroom.dts".
Here is the code for the playertype:

Code: [Select]

Here is what the animation should look like:


Here is what it looks like now:


Do you know what is wrong?

[Ad Bot]

[Rusty]

Do your joints need to be linked?

[Chao]

No, they don't.

[otto-san]

Son, is this MapleStory?
:O

but

is there not a way to edit the speed?

[Chao]

It's not a speed problem.  I have a speed of 15 FPS for the Animation.

[otto-san]

Oh right, now I see that a few frames are cut out.

quite a few.

Perhaps you didn't export all of the animation?

I don't know.

[Chao]

No, I exported keyframes 1 - 30.

[Chao]

I think I know what it's doing.
When I spawn the mushroom, it plays the animation.  After the first keyframe, it plays the animation again, thus not palying more of the previous animation.  How to I fix this?  I told it that the animation was between keyframes 1 - 30, and I have cyclic turned on (I tried it already with it turned off, no use).

[ArmyUnit]

The root animations should only have one keyframe (should be completely still)
If it does, the animation looks glitchy, just like your problem.

[Destiny/Zack0Wack0]

Try changing it with the walk/run animation.

[Chao]

The root animations should only have one keyframe (should be completely still)
If it does, the animation looks glitchy, just like your problem.

Yeah, but for the root sequence, it should be playing a animation where it is just doing nothing.

[Chao]

Ok, I just downloaded and installed showtool, and everything plays fine there too!  If it plays fine in showtool, it's supposed to do the same ingame, right?

[Chao]

The problem has been solved.

[heedicalking]

The problem has been solved.

It helps if you state how you fixed it in case others run into this problem.

Yes please
