u know, you'd think
Animation - Play Ash_Kaah's stand - 3 animation
would play the Stand - 3 animation listed in the window to the left. got any clue what I'm doing wrong?

oh, also, I can't get Flying Machine's move animation to go on command
 
Under what circumstance? If you want a stand animation then don't order them to move! Does unit variable Ash-Kaah deffinatly have a stand 3 animation (given your post he does)?
Have you defined which unit Ash_Kaah is?
 
Erm, are you issuing any orders after you do that? Manipulating the unit in any way can cancel out that animation, so you have to play the animation by the index.

Code: 
call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Ash_Kaah, [b]3[/b])

Cycle through the animations, and count which one the Stand - 3 animation is. if it's the third one, then put 3 where the bold text.
 
ahh, that could be good. I'm using it in a short cutscene, and there's a wait after I set the animation, so it shouldn't get canceled

yup, it worked! thanks conan
anyone wanna see the map I'm workin on?
 
oh, new animation issue. while using the
Code: 
Unit - Move Party_Leader instantly to ((Position of Party_Leader) offset by Walk_Speed towards 270.00 degrees), facing 270.00 degrees
type of trigger, is there some way so keep a specific animation going while someone is being moved every .01 seconds?
 
odd, I could have sworn the function Conan gave worked fine as long as you didn't instruct the unit to play another animation. Moving a unit instantly should not interrupt it....
 
it does for some reason

could it be that it moves instantly and makes face angle?
 
I can almost see one way to do this....since I'm trying to use the arrow keys for movement, I guess the first time through, I could change facing, then run the animation and movement every other time until the key is released...kinda like

every .01 seconds
if walk_up == true then
if first == true then
face angle 90
play unit animation walk
else
move unit instantly to location of unit offset by yeah towards 90
endif
endif

that look like it'll work?
 
nope, doesn't work
here, check out the code

The function I gave you is used for playing the unit animation. Use it, instead of the "Play Unit Animation". It will NOT interrupt moving the unit instantly or making them face a certain angle.
 
the variable I'm using for this is actually variable this time
Party_Leader can be any of 3 units with different numbers of animations.... guess I could use a variable containing which animation is the current party leader's walking animation

btw, the animation is no longer interrupted, thanks again conan

    I think on the new one they did change it, but idk. I don't really care whatever the government is doing right now because it's consistently absurd. Like what is RFK doing in charge of health anything? I love the bear story because WTF was that, but also, pretty much every time he talks it's WTF. Like even his voice sounds microwaved

    It's actually remarkably easy to make mayonnaise though. Fun fact, it USED to kind of be a French mother sauce. I believe that Careme considered it one, it may have been aioli but that has also built a different meaning than it used to. An aioli is just mayonnaise I mixed with other shit typically, I didn't start it don't come at me
  • Varine Varine:
    It's very hard to do it on a large scale though

    Depending on how you pour the oil the consistency can vary wildly, but that's true for most emulsions. I can only make about two quarts at a time with my robo coup, and if I have to make several in series because I forgot to order it becomes really obvious even when I do it. We have to wait and mix them all together to make sure we have the same thing.
  • Varine Varine:
    Hollandaise is also kind of like that, emulsions require a very steady hand to do exactly the same every time.

    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.

    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks

    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it

    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit

    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know
