Thank you to everyone who helped with the helicopter problem last week.
We're having a problem, now, getting an NPC to do the following: Execute a spin in mid air--using scripted sequences. I've lined up 12 scripted sequences in a row, off the ground. The "move to" setting is set to instantaneous (teleport). Gravity is turned off for each sequence. What I *want* to happen is--player assumes a pose (with a single leg out, or something) and then spins in the air. The angle of each scripted sequence is set sequentially: 0, 90, 180, 270, 0, 90, 180, 270, etc... this would spin the NPC in the air. The timing is about 0.15 seconds between each sequence. I've even bumped that up to .50 for each. Problem remains. ---- The PROBLEM is that the first few scripted sequences run VERY VERY slowly... it takes about 1 second for the NPC to get through the first two sequences. Then, it goes as expected. Here's a zipped .vmf file (27 KB) with only a very small world, the npc, and his sequences. The trigger in the corner sets the whole thing in motion. http://members.gamedev.net/Verg/sandbox.zip The file is very small (2.5 KB) and contains a small sandbox map that shows the problem. ----- If you don't wish to DL the map and try it, that's cool. I'd just like to know of a way of putting an NPC quickly into a succession of poses without it pausing in any way.
