Ok, so, weapon animation. As far as I used to know, it could have only two frames, one for standby and one for firing, but it seems the coalition gatling gun disproves that.
That said, how would I go on animating a weapon so that it plays the animation once and just then shoots? I tried setting the SpriteAnimDuration to the same value of StartUpDelay, but it yelded no results. Actually, the animation doesn't play at all. Yes, the animMode is at 5. I've got a full 39 frames of animation for the weapon, and I don't want to waste any of them. So, any suggestions?

I think 4 is loop through from the beginning, then wrap around. Might want to try that.

Have you tried cannibalizing the Gatling Gun's ini?

Also, does anyone know if reload animations are possible?

Oh. I hadn't noticed that.

Ok, now it works. On the other hand, the sprite doesn't play only once, even though the AnimDuration is set to the same as the StartUpDelay. Also, it has a nasty tendency to skip some sprites at the begginning. Anyone knows why?

If I remember correctly the gatling gun only has 2 frames like any other gun.
Anim mode 4 is loop when firing (for guns).

Honestly Lua is much easier to animate with when working with more than 2 frames.

Post your code so I can see what you have.

Wrong, the gatling gun has 3 frames.

I am disappoint.

Having him post the code is a little more important than whether I have the number of frames in the Coal Gatling Gun correct.
