For playing random animations I use PlayAnimAsync (Filename).

I have noticed two troubles:

- when this function PlayAnimAsync() is caused, all animations on the screen freeze.
- after execution PlayAnimAsync(), I do ChangeScene(). Very often the program crashes and creates dump.

It is possible for something to make with it?

[metamorphium]

call StopAnim() before the Game.ChangeScene();

Again, what do you mean by all animations on the screen freeze. Is it 2d or 3d animation. Is there anything in the log file?

[Lion]

At me 2D animation and functions StopAnim() for it are not present.

I used actor.Reset () before call ChangeScene(), but it not effective.

Function PlayAnimAsync() reads from a file. And during the moment of reading all animations and movement of the cursor stoped.

[metamorphium]

how big is your animation you're trying to load? (in MB)

[Lion]

2.3 Mb

And it is possible to make once loading with save in memory?

If this animation was already play, it again to not load.

[metamorphium]

yes, you insert it in the scene as an inactive entity. this way it's memory cached for the scene.

Yup, pre-caching is the key here. Attach the animation to some hidden entity in the scene. That way the animation frames get loaded on scene transition and don't block the game flow when the animation is actually executed.

As for the crashing, can you post the wme_crash.txe file?

[Lion]

Yes, thanks, very well. But it is a little not so.

I have 3 idle behaviour of the main actor.
I used function Game.CreateEntity(Name), and then Entity.SetSprite(Filename).

For 8 directions on 3, 24 objects turn out.
When I have made it, at me game began to be loaded very for a long time, and then strongly to brake.

I have already despaired, that that will fail.
But me there has come an idea to insert these animations into the actor, as TALK_SPECIAL:

TALK_SPECIAL
{
        SPRITESET
        {
          NAME = "idle01"

            LEFT = "actors\Stas\ll\idle01.sprite"
            RIGHT = "actors\Stas\rr\idle01.sprite"
            UP = "actors\Stas\uu\idle01.sprite"
            DOWN = "actors\Stas\dd\idle01.sprite"

            UP_LEFT = "actors\Stas\ul\idle01.sprite"
            UP_RIGHT = "actors\Stas\ur\idle01.sprite"
            DOWN_LEFT = "actors\Stas\dl\idle01.sprite"
            DOWN_RIGHT = "actors\Stas\dr\idle01.sprite"
      }
}

Now I call actor.PlayAnimAsync("actors\Stas\ll\idle01.sprite").

And all OK. Game is fast loading, normally works and does not brake all stage.
