animation\path movement not working together

[madie_n]

I set the condition (user left clicks on object\start path movement, start animation) but when i click on the object, it twitches in the direction it's supposed to go then it plays the animation. Why isn't it following the path movement and playing the animation at the same time? help?

It sounds like some other event might be interfering with the movement or animation of your object - perhaps upload an MFA showing an example of the problem to the File Archive forum and someone can take a look to help out.

thanks

What happened was I set the condition twice but once on another object. I have a new problem though, the same path movement is set at a speed of fifty and everytime I change it to make it slower it goes back to fifty. I'm pressing ok and not cancel after setting it and I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with saving. Why is it refusing to go any speed but fifty? Lol I'm too stupid for this program.

The path movement is buggy to be sure. I usually need to select a different point from the one I am setting to get the speed change to stick. Then you can press OK.

I think you need to click on the point that is before the line. Like this:

>A-----------B------------------C>

To change the speed of the line between B and C you need to change the speed of point B.

LB is right, and you can tell which path segment the speed applies to by noting which line is flashing with the point.

This is also true if the object is moving from C to B as well as B to C.
