Summary	0001561: Idle animations interrupt pathfinding
Description	It seems that the AI's random idle animations can interrupt the path_anim animation. Not only will this cut off the desired animation (annoying but minor), but more significantly, the AI will not proceed to the next target and will just stay where they are indefinitely.
Tags	No tags attached.

Ishtvan 13.12.2008 05:58 reporter ~0002239	This might be relevant. There is apparently a way to set whether an animation can be overridden by an idle animation or not: [code]flags = headAnim.GetAnimFlags(); if ( !flags.prevent_idle_override ) {[/code] I don't know hot to actually set that flag, would need to look at the animation parser, and I'm not sure where that is or if it's open sourced.

angua 13.12.2008 19:32 manager ~0002243	Introduced new playIdleAnimations flag in memory which is set false in the PathAnimtask, and the idle animation is skipped. No new pk4 yet.

Springheel 13.12.2008 20:42 administrator ~0002244	Wow, thanks Angua. I was just thinking about that today and resigning myself to the likelihood that this wouldn't be fixed for a while.
