Hello again

I have another question, im creating a first person adventure, and i have a 1 sprite animation that i want to repeat until another text dissapears, what im doing is:

-The animation is set to 20 ms with infinite loop
-and then i do "Play animation", "Narration text" and then "Hide animation", everything without the "wait until the animation is finished" and the narration text without "Show as background text", but when i run, it seems the animation doesnt stop instantly, it continues for a few seconds, what am i doing wrong?

Thanks everyone

I managed to stop the animation, forcing the character to say something after the hide animation, problably there is another way, maybe script?

Don't know if you already found another way or not, (and this is just a wild guess of course!) try adding a milisecond pause just before (or after, not sure...) "hide animation" instead of forcing the character say something. This helped me on one occasion when I needed to stop a looping animation...

Hi all,

I have a similar issue. When I am trying to play a character animation with the Play/Hide Animation action part, it doesn't play. Though it plays ok in VS5 RC2 but it doesn't in the latest version.

Thanks for any help

@Jerirecien I just updated to the latest version but it didn't effect any of my animations.

If you say the same action parts setup worked before the update, as a start maybe try deleting actions and applying them again (All fresh), perhaps that will refresh something that been causing the issue.
