Freeze after talk animation

[TheCapn]

Hello guys,

I'm using an animation when a player talks, but at the end of the animation the player keeps his arms straight long to his body, and move like a robot. I have to "fire" in order to break this freeze.

Do you know how can I fix it ?

Here's my code

  
function sayHandler( message, msgType ) 
 ... 
        setPedAnimation( source, "PED", "IDLE_CHAT", 1, false, true, true, true, false ) 
    ... 
end 
addEventHandler( "onPlayerChat", getRootElement(), sayHandler )

well you can use

setTimer 

to fix it ,

And which function would I use in the setTimer ?

you can use setTimer(removeEventHandler('onPlayerChat' ) ,

and return it after if you want it , but i think it will cause lag,

why you need animation for this , just use image over player head if he talks , better

Well I want to play this animation.

There is no function that could put back the normal standing of the player ?

see here the function

time: how long the animation will run for in milliseconds.

you can use setTimer , after some time use CancelEvent , or removeEventHandler,

function sayHandler( message, msgType ) 
 ... 
        local AnimationDuration = 1000   -- Measure your animation's duration in miliseconds 
        setPedAnimation( source, "PED", "IDLE_CHAT", 1, false, true, true, true, false ) 
        setTimer(setPedAnimation,AnimationDuration,1,source) 
    ... 
end 
addEventHandler( "onPlayerChat", getRootElement(), sayHandler ) 

You don't have to use the variable AnimationDuration, I did it just to point it out. Anyway, to stop the player's animation, you use setPedAnimation without specifying animation block and name.
