Henry, I'm not sure if this helps your situation, but we run animations in our own loop (e.g. below). You can pretty much do whatever you want with respect to frame display:
var filePath = "animations/Chlorination_of_anisoleF.TXT"; var frameInterval = .1; load @filePath;hide *;background black;set echo top center;font echo 36 serif;color echo yellow;echo VMK Molecular Movies|Presents|Aromatic Clorination Reaction;delay 3; animation off;hover off;color label pink;select formalCharge <> 0;label %C;set echo top left;font echo 16 sansserif; color echo yellow;select *;var j = getProperty("modelInfo","modelCount"); for (var i = 1; i <= j; i++){ frame @i; if (i == 2){display *;echo Start with a bit of aluminum chloride.;delay 3;echo;} if (i == 3){display *;echo Add some dichlorine.;delay 3;echo;} if (i == 18){display *;echo Add anisole.;delay 3;echo;} if (i == 79){display *;echo A cyclohexadienyl cation intermediate;delay 3;echo;} if (i == 81){display *;echo A resonance contributor;delay 3;echo;} if (i == 86){display *;echo Another resonance contributor;delay 3;echo;} if (i == 93){display *;echo A 4th resonance contributor;delay 3;echo;} if (i == 159){display *;echo Loss of a proton, ;delay 3;echo;} if (i == 167){display *;echo regenerates the aromatic ring.;delay 3;} delay @{frameInterval}; } echo The final product is 1-chloro-4-methoxy-benzene.;delay 3;boundbox {*};centerat boundbox;zoom 0; Otis -- Otis Rothenberger o...@chemagic.com http://chemagic.com On Feb 2, 2014, at 3:57 AM, Rzepa, Henry S <h.rz...@imperial.ac.uk> wrote: > Has anybody solved this one? > > Gaussian computes an IRC by starting at the transition state (frame 1) > and following the IRC down to a rest in one direction (lets say frame 25), > then starting again from the geometry of frame 1 (this will now be numbered > 26) and computing the IRC in the other direction, down to say frame 51. > > So to display a smooth IRC (one capable of palindromic reversal), one needs > to load the frames in the order: > > 51 > 27 > 1 > 25 (this avoids repeating 26, which is the same as 1). > > Unless I missed it, I do not think the frame command can be used to set up > this sequence?
