How to make my entity to loop any animation?
Tried setting it to randomanim but didn't work

PHP Code:

int entity = CreateEntityByName("prop_dynamic");
    
    if (IsValidEntity(entity))
    {
        float vector[3];
        GetAimCoords(client, vector);
        
        DispatchKeyValue(entity, "Classname", "MyEnt"); // used to detect while users aim and press E
        DispatchKeyValue(entity, "model", "models/player/ctm_gign.mdl");
        DispatchKeyValue(entity, "Solid", "6");
        
        TeleportEntity(entity, vector, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR); // move it to the coordinates
        
        DispatchSpawn(entity);
        ActivateEntity(entity); // After activating the entity, we may apply the animation
        
        SetEntPropString(entity, Prop_Data, "m_iszDefaultAnim", "Idle");
        AcceptEntityInput(entity, "Enable");
        AcceptEntityInput(entity, "TurnOn");
        
    } 


The main idea is to make my entity to simulate its breathing and not standing rigid.

Try setting m_nSequence to the corresponding sequence index.

Yeah, tried but setting m_nSequence only changes the animation, it doesn't loop it.

PHP Code:

SetEntProp(iTarget, Prop_Send, "m_nSequence", iSequence)

Ohh i see. You could try to dispatch the default animation as a keyvalue before spawning the prop. They KV is called DefaultAnim, works for me, at least for models compiled into the map.

Thanks, that worked!
What should be called before and after spawning the prop to get it working like in this case?

[Kinsi]

DispatchKeyValue's should generally be called before spawning the prop, and since i've spawned props with default animations before when making maps, i just suggested you to do it this way. There probably is a way to define it afterwards w/ netprops but there is no need to do that in your case i guess.

Thank you very much!
I appreciate people that helps when they can.
