Spinup and down plays randomly

by Danni · in Torque Game Engine · 04/13/2008 (12:14 pm) · 1 replies

Can someone help figure out what is wrong here. www.antihax.net/movies/spin.wmv Sometimes it spins up and down, sometimes it stops instantly and i cannot figure out why? Happens in both TGE and TGEA.

datablock TSShapeConstructor(w_VulcanDts)

   sequence0 = "vulcan_activate.dsq Activate";
   sequence1 = "vulcan_deactivate.dsq  Deactivate";

   sequence4 = "vulcan_run.dsq Run";

Try this

   stateTransitionOnNoAmmo[0]       = "NoAmmo";

   // Activating the gun.  Called when the weapon is first
   // mounted and there is ammo.
   stateName[1]                     = "Activate";
   stateTransitionOnTimeout[1]      = "Ready";
   stateTimeoutValue[1]             = 0.5;
   stateSequence[1]                 = "Activate";
  // stateTransitionOnNoAmmo[1]      = "NoAmmo";
   // Ready to fire, just waiting for the trigger
  // stateName[2]                     = "Ready";
