Im using an animation which isnt looped with MLP 1.2 but when the animation finishes my avatar goes into a deformed position with head backwards and laying in the air etc. Does anyone know why this happens and how to make it so that when it finishes I just stand up? Thanks

Well one approach would be to make the stand at the end part of the animation. As in, actually have the avatar return to standing in your animation, and then when uploading set it to loop with In and Out both set to 100.

As for why it happens, it's just a result of how MLP is scripted. You could go into the script yourself and adjust it to go back to the stand after a pause to play the animation, but it's probably easier to just make standing back up at the end part of the animation.

Wait, what exactly do you want to have happen? In your original post when you say you want it to stand up, do you mean unsit the avatar? That you would have to adjust in the script.

Yes I want to unsit the av after the unlooped anim. Do you know which part of the script it would be? Thanks

Yes! The part you haven't written yet? ;)

(Maybe the MLP isn't the best tool to play your anim? Why not play it from an SL gesture, which are designed for unlooped anims?) :cool:
