Hi, i have an animated Raptor loaded with "LoadAnimMesh" and added AnimSequences with "LoadAnimSeq". First i animate the Raptor with this: Animate raptor,1,0.4,2,1. Now i shoot at the Raptor and countdown a raptorhealth variable(from 100). If the Variable=0 the Raptor should play another AnimSequence. But after the Raptorhealth Variable reaches 0 the first Anim stops and if i shoot one more time (raptorhealth=-10) the next animseq is playing. Why this? If raptorhealth=0 ;Animation Stops - if raptorhealth is -10 ;the next animation plays Animate raptor,3,0.4,3,0 ;EntityAlpha raptor,0.5 ;HideEntity raptor ;PlaySound(raptordie) ChannelVolume raptorchannel,0 EndIf Thank you

I'd have to see the rest of your code to be sure but it looks like you are calling the Animate command every frame while raptorhealth=0. What you want is to only call Animate once to start playing the animation. In other words have your If statement check if the animation is already playing.

Any Help, please? Thanks

Have you checked what I mentioned above? When I said I would need to see the rest of your code to be sure I didn't mean I want to (frankly I don't have time) but that I'm not 100% sure. Still it strikes me as a pretty likely reason for your problem: instead of calling Animate just once to start playing the animation, you call it every frame raptorhealth=0 (which is every frame until it is hit again) thus resetting the animation every frame.

Thank you for your help jhocking. I will rewrite the complete code, because i have found another bug that makes me crazy. Some Codepieces are grabbed from the Forum and the Archives. But i will understand every single peace of the Code, so i am starting new.
