Gestures in an Animation

Can someone help? I am not sure what I am doing wrong or if it is even possible...
I want to have a gesture play through out my entire animation ..which is about 26 seconds initially and looped... I tried to set it up through Gestures and it's only playing for about 3 seconds...
Is this possible to do ? Can you tell me how to do it?

I think what you're trying to do is to make a new gesture using existing animation (a gesture) on top of your new animation. The problem is that the existing animation is short (3 s) and your new animation is long.

In order to get the existing gesture animation to play over and over you'll have to add it to the gesture list (26 s/3 s =~ 9) about nine times. So in the gesture list you're building you should have:

New animation start
Existing animation start
Wait 3 s
Existing animation start
Wait 3s
...

I think that should do it.

If you're not trying to make a gesture, then you'll have to find a way to either do the same thing with a script or make a new version of the short animation that's 26 s long.

I tried that.. but for some reason it only plays it once for a few seconds
