Frame error wat?

Postby Ghost_Fang » Tue Jan 12, 2010 5:02 am

Ok, so i got this character model, and to text it out i made the frames match all the knights frames (perfectly) and when i kill it, it does the dying sequence perfectly, but as soon as thats done, he pops right back up and is frozen in the first frame of the death animation (but the entity is still dead) just the model does that. What up? and how do i fix it?

Could it be some frame group or something? If replacing the knight model without QC changes causes this bug, then I think it's an issue with the model not the QC. But it doesn't make sense if the frames are exactly the same...

Maybe some frame is misordered, missing, etc. Or as I said above, maybe there's a frame group (even a bugged one) that's making it look like there's more frames than Quake will see. If the death frames are the last ones, and the QC takes it over the number of frames the model has, it will default to frame 0, which I'm assuming is the stand frame.

I recommend manually counting through the frames and making absolutely sure the counts per anim are identical. There could be something slightly off somewhere.
