How to avoid that ?

[Karoffe]

Whenever i create a ped and set an animation to him which the animation will not loop.. so what happens is when i leave the ped for example in los santos and go to SF and then go back to LS the ped loses his animation.

the only solution i found is to enable the loop in the function which i don't want, any ideas ?

Edit: Before asking,, Yes the script is serverside

[Mr.Aleks]

Can you show the code please? I wanna see the line where you put the animation.

[Karoffe]

setTimer(setPedAnimation, 500, 1, ped,"BEACH", "bather", -1, false, false, false, true)

Why do you want -1 ms?

[Karoffe]

Because i don't wanna reset his animation ? as i know -1 means infinite

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

[Anubhav]

  
    local ped = createPed(36,x, y, z, 90, true) 
    setPedFrozen(ped, true) 
    setTimer(setPedAnimation, 500, 0 , ped,"ped", "KO_shot_front", 1000, false, false, false, true) 
  

Maybe this. It will keep going and set it again and again.

You have just made the same thing as looping animation does,, but you loop every 500ms. That didn't solve the problem as i don't want it to loop.

[Anubhav]

How do you want it then??

[Karoffe]

I want that when i set the ped's animation it doesn't resets automatically. Without looping ^^

Edit: If you didn't understand the problem, the problem is when i set the animation of a ped, everything is alright for me, but if i went away to SF and came back to him lets say in LS i see him just standing without any animation.

Show us the full script.. The timer runs one time that means for -1 ms maybe unlimited in MTA:SA.

[DiSaMe]

Ped stats, weapon ammo, animations and some other stuff are only visible if they were set since the last stream in.

[Karoffe]

So you mean it cannot be solved ? right ?

[IIYAMA]

Everything can be solved, but I don't think it is it worth.

Resync the animation based on time:

timeNow = getTickCount()

That is math you learn at school, so you can ask that to your teacher.

or use

setElementStreamable

Instead of using a timer (which would be a waste of resources), you could have a separate client-side script, that triggers the server-side part when the ped is streamed in. Not sure how that will affect anim-syncing though. Maybe you could keep track of time as well and set the anim progress accordingly.

It's a bit more complicated, but I think it could even be used for multiple peds without too much overhead.

Sry, no code.
