- how could i make it less visible like u said because all i know for sure is that draw needs to end where idle starts but what else should i do to make it less visible -

Use smaller, shorter things so any halts in the animation are less visible (as you can see, it's easiest to see the halt on the sword-like thing, as when it moves, it moves much more than short things move), and make it so the draw animation gradually and slowly slows down while the idle animation doesn't instantly start swaying, such as to make the pause look more like it's part of the intended animation (even though it's not).

- and then import the custom animations c_medic_animations.mdl it says unable to load mdl -

That's because the animation file doesn't have any mesh. But either way, you shouldn't load that in the model viewer; The animation model file is "linked" to by the arms model file, so the animations from it will automatically get loaded onto the arms model.

The short answer is that it's not. The long answer is that it may be less visible. But it's still affected in the same way by the same issue.

ok so how do i fix it then? is it possible?

No, it's not possible. (Yes, what I've said above is the reason it can't be fixed.)

ya this occured with bots training mode so this won't happen in my actual server?

- that's caused by the server not yet telling the client to start the idle animation. -

Publicado originalmente por {GPG} Waka Flocka Flame:

does it have anything to do with fadein fadeout for idle or draw?

No. See above.

That's more like 0.5 seconds, though, and that's caused by the server not yet telling the client to start the idle animation. This also happens without any mods installed.

-Stuff about first-person-

...Well, one thing I can suggest is to move the camera to have X, Y, and Z co-ordinates of 0, 0 and 0. (Currently, the Z co-ordinate of the camera is above 0, while I'm not sure about the Y co-ordinate.) And also X, Y, and Z rotations of 0, 0, and 0 as well.

-Stuff about third-person-

I don't know at all. I don't really do much sequence-/animation-modding. All I can suggest is to try seeing what happens for yourself.

thanks most of my questions have been answered but what about the proper camera view for tf2 settings do know that?

Nope. All I know is Team Fortress 2 might be basing the "60" degrees of field of view from when playing in 4:3, which makes you see more than 60 degrees in 16:9 (widescreen, wider than 4:3), where-as it might really be 60 degrees in Blender.

does the fps and snap need to be lowercase? - ima test in a lil bit but let me know if it needs to be caps or lowercase

Nope. They also don't need to be upper-case. I just find it much more pleasant when each word in the commands or each letter of an acronym is upper-case.

- also what is fadein fadeout 0.2 that was there by default but what does it do? -

Those commands make it take 0.2 seconds to blend/fade in from the previous sequence or blend/fade out to the next sequence, which, as you can imagine, isn't really that nice for draw animations. (The blend/fade out is arguable, but as the idle animation should start with the pose at the end of the draw animation, there's no need for it to be there at all, and pretty much just messes with the idle animation for 0.2 seconds, so...)

On the other hand, "Snap" makes it so when switching to the sequence, it will instantly snap to the sequence, which is most likely what you're looking for in this case.

I'm not quite sure about that one... but just leave it in.

- is there a wiki on all of this if so please link me that i'd appreciate that thanks ima test in a lil bit -

Yes, there is. It's called the Valve Developer Community, but don't be confused, it's entirely a wiki. The Valve Developer Community has lots of information on almost anything you want to know about modding the Source Engine. Here's the page on $Sequence: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/$sequence

To view first-person animations in the model viewer, open up the first-person arms model (weapons/c_models/c_[class]_arms.mdl), attach a weapon model if you want (I think there's an option to do that in the "File" menu of Half-Life Model Viewer), then choose the sequences you want in the "Sequences" tab or so.

Anyway, here, try replacing what you copied with this:

How long is your custom draw animation, how long is the default draw animation, does the draw sequence contain the "Snap" argument in the QC, does it contain the "FadeIn" argument, and what does it look like when you view the sequence in Half-Life Model Viewer?
