hi
I'm using sdk_engine , and i had this problem
If I put an entity in WED , there is no way for me to control his animation throw ent_animate , it will always loop all its frames.
The only way that I could control his animation (play a certain animation ) is ONLY by :

MyPlayer= ent_for_name("Fighter_mdl_030");
Ent_remove(MyPlayer);
MyPlayer = ent_create("Fighter.mdl");

now my animation code work just fine.
can you produce the same problem?

I believe that issue happens when an .mdl does not have an action assigned to it. So you need to assign one in your delphi code.

please look at the Delphi SDK Samples to see how.

I've seen the Samples (No 9 ),
you are using [ent_create();]
to get a pointer to your model , what I'm trying to say , if the model was already placed by the artiest in the level, and he gave me it WED name , and i used
ent_for_name(""); to get a pointer for it , The ent_animate will not work !!!
it will not work even if i set an action for that entity ,
the model can be move , rotate , morphed .... BUT CAN NOT PERFORM ent_animate.
it keep looping all its frames
is this logical behavior ?

no it doesn't sound logicial, I'll try and setup a test for this.

I confirm this behavior the way you describe it. I've reported in the beta forum-- let's see what JCL says.

thanks for your time ,
