Help needed skeletal animation/scripted sequence glitch.

[Carbon14]

This is probably super simple for someone that knows, but since I am rather new to sequences and animation I am a little unsure what's wrong. At the start of the animation the character sort of bops or pops down and up at the start of the animation, clipping into the floor.


this is the snippet from the qc

Code: Select all

$animation "a_odellstairdescent" "odellstairdescent.smd" fps 30.00  walkframe 180 LX LY LZ

$sequence odellstairdescent {
   "a_odellstairdescent"
   { event AE_CL_PLAYSOUND 10 "MetalGrate.StepRight" }
   { event AE_CL_PLAYSOUND 20 "MetalGrate.StepLeft" }
   { event AE_CL_PLAYSOUND 30 "MetalGrate.StepRight" }
   { event AE_CL_PLAYSOUND 40 "MetalGrate.StepLeft" }
   { event AE_CL_PLAYSOUND 50 "MetalGrate.StepRight" }
   { event AE_CL_PLAYSOUND 60 "MetalGrate.StepLeft" }
   { event AE_CL_PLAYSOUND 70 "MetalGrate.StepRight" }
   { event AE_CL_PLAYSOUND 80 "MetalGrate.StepLeft" }
   { event AE_CL_PLAYSOUND 90 "MetalGrate.StepRight" }
}

I would also like to know if I am going the right way about this, is it ok to make the entire animation in one hit. So far he does successfully walk to the stairs, hop on, climb down, hop off and stand there ready for whatever it next.



Big thanks to anyone that can help, really want to get this anim done so I can work on other things rather than pull my hair out!
