hi all.

i'm trying to make an entity with a sprite model play its animation and be able to have velocity at the same time, but i have a problem.

if i create an info_target entity, i can set its velocity but the sprite won't animate.
if i create an env_sprite entity, it animates but it won't receive any velocity.

can i do this without manually registering a think and setting the frame, or is it the only option?

code:

            static iAllocStringEnvSprite;
            
            if (!iAllocStringEnvSprite)
                iAllocStringEnvSprite = engfunc(EngFunc_AllocString, "info_target");//env_sprite
            
            new Float:fCvarFireFieldRadius = get_pcvar_float(g_pCvarFire_field_radius);
            
            new iEntID2;
            
            for (new iID = 0; iID < get_pcvar_num(g_pCvarFire_field_flames); iID++)
            {
                iEntID2 = engfunc(EngFunc_CreateNamedEntity, iAllocStringEnvSprite);
                
                if (!pev_valid(iEntID2))
                    continue;
                
                set_pev(iEntID2, pev_classname, g_szClassNameFireFieldFlame)
                set_pev(iEntID2, pev_owner, iEntID)
                set_pev(iEntID2, pev_solid, SOLID_NOT)
                set_pev(iEntID2, pev_flags, FL_ALWAYSTHINK)
                
                ftEntSetSprite(iEntID2, g_iArrayID_SPMF, random_num(0, g_iArraySize_SPMF))
                
        //    set_pev(iEntID2, pev_scale, random_float(0.357, 0.577))
                set_pev(iEntID2, pev_rendermode, kRenderTransAdd)
        //    set_pev(iEntID2, pev_rendercolor, Float:{ 255.0, 255.0, 255.0 })
        //    set_pev(iEntID2, pev_renderfx, kRenderFxNone)
                set_pev(iEntID2, pev_renderamt, 255.0)
                set_pev(iEntID2, pev_sequence, 0)
                set_pev(iEntID2, pev_gaitsequence, 0)
                set_pev(iEntID2, pev_frame, 0.0)
                set_pev(iEntID2, pev_animtime, get_gametime())
                set_pev(iEntID2, pev_framerate, 1.0)//random_float(10.0, 15.0)
                
                if (!iID)
                {
                    fVecTemp[0] = 0.0;
                    fVecTemp[1] = 0.0;
                }
                else
                {
                    fVecTemp[0] = random_float(-fCvarFireFieldRadius, fCvarFireFieldRadius); //g_fFireFieldRadiusVisual 0.0, random_num(0, 1) ? fCvarFireFieldRadius : -fCvarFireFieldRadius
                    fVecTemp[1] = random_float(-fCvarFireFieldRadius, fCvarFireFieldRadius);
                }
                
                fVecTemp[2] = 25.0; //0.0; //5.0
                
                // save our fire sprite position
                set_pev(iEntID2, pev_punchangle, fVecTemp)
                
                fVecTemp[0] += fVecOrigin[0];
                fVecTemp[1] += fVecOrigin[1];
                fVecTemp[2] += fVecOrigin[2];
                
                set_pev(iEntID2, pev_origin, fVecTemp)
                
                set_pev(iEntID2, pev_movetype, MOVETYPE_NOCLIP)
                
                fVecTemp[0] = 0.0;
                fVecTemp[1] = 0.0;
                fVecTemp[2] = random_float(150.0, 200.0);
                
                set_pev(iEntID2, pev_velocity, fVecTemp)
                
                set_pev(iEntID2, pev_spawnflags, SF_SPRITE_STARTON)
                //set_pev(iEntID2, pev_, )
                
                dllfunc(DLLFunc_Spawn, iEntID2)
            }

EDIT: solved. movetype change needs to be after the spawn function.

have you try to set nextthink to it?
also [Solved] mean you already done and doesn't need help anymore btw
