Entity animation bugged frames.

I am trying to spawn an entity and play its animation to the end right when it spawns. What happens is that upon spawning, the animations starts playing up to certain frames, resets to the first frame then continues after a few moments. This could be best shown with a video example: https://youtu.be/XiXJi3-640o. You can clearly see how it is bugged out.

PHP Code:


		
			
public CmdCorpse(iPlayer) {

    

    new iOrigin[3], Float:fOrigin[3];

    get_user_origin(iPlayer, iOrigin, 2);

    

    IVecFVec(iOrigin, fOrigin);

    

    new entCorpse = create_entity("info_target");

    

    if (!entCorpse) {

        

        log_amx("Could not create custom corpse entity.");

        return FMRES_IGNORED;

    }

    

    entity_set_string(entCorpse, EV_SZ_classname, "custom_corpse");

    

    entity_set_model(entCorpse, "models/player/terror/terror.mdl");

    

    entity_set_int(entCorpse, EV_INT_solid, SOLID_TRIGGER);

    entity_set_int(entCorpse, EV_INT_movetype, MOVETYPE_TOSS);

    

    fOrigin[2] += 50.0;

    entity_set_origin(entCorpse, fOrigin);

    new Float:maxs[3] = {16.0, 16.0, 36.0};

    new Float:mins[3] = {-16.0, -16.0, -36.0};

    entity_set_size(entCorpse, mins, maxs);

    

    entity_set_int(entCorpse, EV_INT_sequence, 107);

    entity_set_float(entCorpse, EV_FL_frame, 1.0);

    entity_set_float(entCorpse, EV_FL_animtime, get_gametime());

    entity_set_float(entCorpse, EV_FL_framerate, 1.0);



    return FMRES_IGNORED;

}

This code is how I managed to spawn an entity and set its animation. Suggestions for better methods (that work, obviously) are open!

I don't know what animtime does actually, but setting it to 100.0 like seen in many threads related to animations delays the animation for a few seconds. Clueless.

Monster_scientist_dead_(GoldSource_Engine)
These appear as hostages sitting on the ground on CS/CZ and can be spawned via Amxx. There are no bugged frames. Lots of potential.

Re: Entity animation bugged frames.

I'm getting an [ENGINE] Invalid entity 42 error. Specifically, here:

PHP Code:


		
			
entity_set_string(entCorpse, EV_SZ_classname, "brutalcs_corpse");
// And anywhere entCorpse is being used as a pointer to the entity within the engine funcs.

My goal is spawning an entity and playing an animation to the end upon spawn. The corpse was an example. Did you mean that monster_scientist_dead is supposed to be used instead of info_target for the animations to properly work?

Isn't that what is actually happening?

Have you checked the video and even read the thread?

Re: Entity animation bugged frames.

Try setting pev_frame to 0.0, not 1.0

You want to remove the idle animation from death sequence?

No difference. Tried that one already.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary: I am spawning an entity with set model (player/terror.mdl), sequence 107, normal framerate of value 1.0. The 107th sequence is the death animation. This animation is not set to loop like the idle animation for instance, which is why I chose that one particular. (To mimic a corpse, but my goal here is not getting a corpse exclusively, my goal is to successfully play the animation from start to end on my own custom entity). The problem is the "twitch" it does as seen in the video. I want to get rid of it and play the animation normally, from start to end and leave the model lying down.

Re: Entity animation bugged frames.

Try reordering you entity creation code properly?

this might work?

PHP Code:


		
			
public CmdCorpse(iPlayer) {
    
    new iOrigin[3], Float:fOrigin[3];
    get_user_origin(iPlayer, iOrigin, 2);
    
    IVecFVec(iOrigin, fOrigin);
    
    new entCorpse = create_entity("info_target");
    
    if (!entCorpse) {
        
        log_amx("Could not create custom corpse entity.");
        return FMRES_IGNORED;
    }
    
    entity_set_string(entCorpse, EV_SZ_classname, "custom_corpse");
    
    entity_set_int(entCorpse, EV_INT_solid, SOLID_TRIGGER);
    entity_set_int(entCorpse, EV_INT_movetype, MOVETYPE_TOSS);
    
    fOrigin[2] += 50.0;
    entity_set_origin(entCorpse, fOrigin);

    entity_set_model(entCorpse, "models/player/terror/terror.mdl");
    new Float:maxs[3] = {16.0, 16.0, 36.0};
    new Float:mins[3] = {-16.0, -16.0, -36.0};
    entity_set_size(entCorpse, mins, maxs);

    entity_set_float(entCorpse, EV_FL_frame, 1.0);
    entity_set_float(entCorpse, EV_FL_framerate, 1.0);
    entity_set_int(entCorpse, EV_INT_sequence, 107);
    //entity_set_float(entCorpse, EV_FL_animtime, get_gametime()); maybe the anime time is glitching the thing?

    return FMRES_IGNORED;
}
