Hi guys, I'm also having a problem with my third-person animations. I originally created a HL2MP mod and implemented a third-person camera, only to discover the "jittery" effect with the player's animations. After reading heaps of stuff about it, I decided on trying to use the Scratch SDK instead, since I read the animations in it are done completely differently and actually work.
So I redid the third-person camera in the Scratch SDK. All the animations work absolutely flawlessly, except when you try to look up or down with the mouse. The "jittery" animation issue is back again. It seems to jitter between the frame it should be showing, and some sort of progress frame before it gets there. What's even weirder, is that if you make your character jump, then the jitters vanish, and looking up and down is animated perfectly while you're jumping through the air. I'm hoping someone has come across this issue before and has an easy fix that they are willing to share :) Thanks! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Skillet" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Discussion of Half-Life Programming" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 27, 2008 8:08 AM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] orange box tf2 third person animation code > I'm having the same issues.
