SOLVED
I am trying to use the welding arm model (welder_arm.mdl)
I thought that just like all other models it would comply to all basic prop_dynamic commands. However for some reason even though i got the property "hold animation" checked for "yes" It still repeats it's animation anyway.
Is this a bug or is there a way i can work around it?
instead use the command SetAnimationNoReset
when setting the animation
i actually tried that, no effect
OnAnimationDone !self SetPlaybackRate 0
A map pack coming soon. - click for more information
i actually wanted it to loop until the player hits a trigger. I settled for placing in a second disabled version with a bindpose and cross enabled/disable them when hitting the trigger
can you perhaps give us the vmf, or atleast the peices that aren't working
you could use the AddOutput command, and have the trigger add this
actually i never tried the AddOutput in anything, i might as well attempt that
EDIT: and that did nothing either. I isolated the portion of the map i was having trouble with and placed it in its own .VMF
This was what i settled for doing, but if you placed the animation name into their default animation path and checked hold animation, it will loop regardless for no reason
Add an output to the trigger the player triggers that goes like this:
"welding arm name" setplaybackrate 0
dude, what? I did that already. Read the posts, man
What's the problem using that command then? I had pretty much exactly same kind of a situation in my map and it worked perfectly.
