I haven't followed the discussion from the beginning, so I don't know
where you are in the code, but you seem to be talking about grenades, so
typically if you want to wait until the end of an animation you do sth
like:
SetWeaponIdleTime( gpGlobals->curtime + SequenceDuration() );
or
m_fNextTimeToDoWhateverYouWant = gpGlobals->curtime + SequenceDuration();
SequenceDuration() gives you the duration of the current selected
animation, so call this after you just set that animation.
