Loading the game breaks the animations

[GrocKing]

@MrMen

Or does it unstick and change the animation, and then somewhere else the animation is again changed? I’d start putting in unique console logs at every HookLift_Hook animation change and seeing if another one fires straight after the space released.

My approach to these situations is to assume GDevelop is fine and my events are at fault, until I’ve exhausted and tested everything else. These things are frustrating and it’s the part of development I’m least fond of. But the feeling when you nail and fix it is quite a [geeky] rush.

I’ll give that a go now and let you know how it goes.

@MrMen

But it only happens once and only after you’ve loaded the save state? Or is it multiple times after the save state has been loaded?

Consistently after loading the save. Fresh save works fine but the moment you load the vehicle in it’s just like that. Same thing for player animations inside the vehicle (though you can hardly see that in the GIF)

Checked it out. It’s definitely the engine. It does change the animation on the console but it doesn’t render it in game.

Here is the code for the console logging :

Haven’t tested the character animations but i’m guessing it’s the same for that one aswell. Which is kind of weird because character “walking” animation etc. works fine. It’s only the characters animations inside the vehicle and the hooking animation.

wrong…this is always triggered

wrong…subevents happens after animation swap

Moreover, your use of global variables is something to avoid because they are changed in real time during creations/deletations of involved objects, most likely without giving enough time for events to execute properly… which brings us back to your (incorrect) post about the bug in successive deletetions/creations

…and there is more…

@RMDB

Because it has to check for the key press every single frame? What?
Adding trigger once literally breaks the animation without even the load state.
The problem is that IT DOESN’T PLAY THE ANIMATION BUT THE WALKING ANIMATION INSTEAD

That is not even the problem what are you even talking about here? That code literally is there to magnetise handle towards the hook. It literally works even after loading the game.

Can you please not litter the comment section if you don’t know about it? I thought you’ve said i didn’t have to explain every bit of code to you?

I literally ran a console check for the animations and it just doesn’t render it in the game while code is successfully executed.

It is clear that you don’t know what are you talking about…
You wrote something that never gonna happen…gl fixing your whole mess.

You sure about that bud?

Thanks?

A couple of questions just to confirm:

1. do you clear out the existing objects/sprites when you load the saved data?
2. Are there any variables that should be also be reset upon data load?

[GrocKing]

@MrMen

do you clear out the existing objects/sprites when you load the saved data?

Yep. Object creation also has trigger once condition on it so no multiplying objects either

@MrMen

Are there any variables that should be also be reset upon data load?

Nope.

There is this variable on the character but default is false and there are no save hitboxes around the vehicle itself

There is this variable that has something to do with the vehicle but as the name suggests that’s just the progression check that allows/doesn’t allow you to use the vehicle. It’s in the save structure

Edit : To add a bit more the variable check on the first image (LastScene) might be faulty (could just constantly delete and load) but i haven’t tested that yet because there are no code on other scenes that changes that global variable and it’s defaulted as “Beginning_Cutscene”.

I’m just using a key release condition below at the moment

More updates. The F5 key press condition doesn’t seem to work either. Nothing to do with the loading part really it just doesn’t work for some reason. Tried changing it to a different key didn’t work. Tried switching it to key press it didn’t work aswell. Not much of an issue since it’s there for testing but yeah not sure why it doesn’t work at all. It did use to work before i added the “or” condition though.
