How to stop looping animation?

[Deepu]

Tried to stop looping animation in weapons while using firing and idle sequence, there is no such way to stop those animation? while weapon is dropped on the ground and getting from another player or bot?

Code: Select all

	LoopAnim('Shoot2',1.9);
	LoopAnim('Idle',0.2,0.9);

"FinishAnim()" called somewhere after pickup... or switching to "select" if animation exists...

Must be tested...

Put FinishAnim() in function dropfrom? let me try

FinishAnim() is just a latent function (meaning it can only be used in state code) that waits for an animation to finish, it doesn't stop the animation itself.
It's like a sleep function, but rather than sleeping for X amount of time, it sleeps until the ongoing animation ends.

Looping animations never "finish", they just keep looping forever, so FinishAnim() won't have any effect in "waiting".
In the same way, AnimEnd(), which is similar to FinishAnim(), in the sense that it's called when an animation finishes, also never gets called for looping animations.

So, answering the actual question: you can only stop a looping animation by playing a normal animation.

This means that you need to call either PlayAnim(...) or TweenAnim(...) for the looping animation to stop, for example: a tween animation back to Idle, and to be fast you can give it a very short time (not sure if using zero works, but you may try it out).

PlayAnim or TweenAnim is not correctly working like as LoopAnim

Code: Select all

simulated function PlayIdleAnim()
{
	if ( !LoopingAnim( 'Idle') )
		LoopAnim( 'Idle', 0.4);
}
simulated final function bool LoopingAnim( name AnimName)
{
	return IsAnimating() && bAnimLoop && (AnimSequence == AnimName);
}

What about this? still not working

Not sure what you mean by that, especially given that you're not showing how you used the tween/play functions, but to clarify: I mentioned TweenAnim and PlayAnim to end the ongoing looping animation, and not to replace it entirely.

In other words, you start your looping animation as usual, then once you want to stop it is when you call a tween or play function.

let me test with TweenAnim and PlayAnim.
