Weapons Frames

[lukas2288]

I have made 24 frame weapon animation.In game is to slow when the animation play.So i want to ask if there is some way to speed up the animation(without deleting frames)?

self.nextthink = time + 0.05;

Add that to every animation function to double the frame rate, in theory anyway.

I think he's talking about a .weaponframe weapon, no? Also, the .nextthink trick behaves better if you use a new field in which you store time upon creating the entity, and increasing that by 0.05 every animation frame, and just setting .nextthink to that.

self.animtime = self.animtime + 0.05;
self.nextthink = self.animtime;

Resetting animation timings to world time will throw it off a tiny bit all the time, eventually resulting in minor twitches or slower/faster animation than expected. In general, this applies to pretty much all timing-related issues which are done frequently, such as movement, AI thinking, rapid fire weapons, animation... One off timers such as a flag capture timer or a trigger of some sort does fine with basing on time. In some cases it's even necessary, can't think of a good example for this, but if things in the world are meant to sync somehow, I can imagine this being a good case.

I remember trying to do this 0.05 nextthink, but instead it looked more like skipping frames...
