When Anims turn against you

How... and why?! The trailer anims of some projectiles don't play anymore and stay forever.

the anim:

[S_BANG16]
Normalized=yes
Translucent=yes
UseNormalLight=yes
Crater=yes
Scorch=yes
Rate=1000

Hm its probably the Rate should lower it to 900 probably doesn't go up to 1000.

reason and answer stands in your signature #Tongue

And of course, setting Rate faster than possible can be an issue.

Quote:

; Rate = desired animation frames per minute (def=900)

Rate=900 means, every ingame frame, one frame of the anim is played. You can't play an anim faster than the ingame framerate. For that you have to reduce the number of frames.

no it is not. it has nothing to do with it at all. its your desire and your issue to point it out falsely.

Just an offtopic question:
Is there a limitation of how many frames a animation can have?

Though maybe 255 is the limit.
