Hi! I'm wondering what is the best and least lag-susceptible method to play (non-looped) animations in a certain order, so that after the end of the first animation the second will follow immediately. All of that should be controlled by a script, i.e. gestures are not an option. Thanks for you help!

From: Kyumars Amat Hi!

However due to lag and that the animations needs to be loaded to the client (if it is not yet in the cache) it might be not that fluent always. Unfortunately there is no preload command for animations (like for sound files), however animation files are relative small, so maybe the problem is not that big. M. |

Hello,
probably one can only work with a timer, but that's rather inaccurate, not very handy and I would fear the lag. Maybe it works when the animations overlap (in- and out-phases) and you trigger the timer a bit before the end of the animation. If you use custom animations you may want to design them eg with a loop at the end, then I could imagine a somewhat smooth transition even when laggy. BTW one can 'preload' animations by fastly cycling through them -- although that creates some strange movements at the beginning.
Bye,
Tala
