This is as far as I have gotten (before getting sidetracked), as well. I posted to this list a couple weeks ago describing this exact problem (there is a screenshot there showing your initial problem before this recent finding .. if you want to dig through your history or the archives).
Valve-- is there any timeframe when documentation regarding the animation layers will be posted? If this is a trivial feature, any pointers as to what we're missing? I understand there are more important things than SDK documentation but even a brief insight into what should be attempted would help us a long way. =) On Thu, 16 Dec 2004 17:31:23 -0600, Matthew Lewis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Just a follow up listing what I've learned.
