Idle Animation Issue & Bullet Question

[Vandas]

Hey, all, back again with another problem. I'm sure it's just something I'm overlooking, and I've gone over it a few times.

My last reincarnation of my character was greatly expanded upon, giving him a few new animations and messing with a few things in terms of " polish " animations. ( skidding when he stops, a little bit of umph to his landing, etc. )

Well, one thing I wanted to add was an idle animation. One that if you left the computer for a certain length of time, he would activate and loop until a key was pressed.

Now, this SOUNDS simple in essence and it probably is. Right now I've got it setup so that if 5 seconds pass, then the game will open a new group that has the condition in it " If this group is active... " and then his normal stopped animation setup, only replaced with the Idle animation.

My second question, and likely a simple one. When using a gun and the shooting command, how can I have a bullet fire during the animation? Bullets don't fly from guns after the fire's out, they fly out during it. The shoot command isn't working very efficiently in the curent build I have, which I've attached to this post.

Will continue to attempt to solve it on my own, but any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Side Notes: His jump-slash animation will not kill the enemy yet ( the red square ), nor does his gun actually fire anything yet.

I've now noticed a third problem; I seem to have trouble with his aerial slash in that it stops him in mid air to play the animation. :/ I told it not to slow him down at all, but it's still stopping him.

UPDATE: I've isolated the idle animation's problem. It's now working just fine. The gun firing and aerial swipe problems still consist.

I apologize if I'm cluttering up the boards. X.x

I'm glad you worked it out Vandas. No need to apologize for asking questions then finding your own solution. We have all done that.
