my Reload anim plays backwards - any suggestions?

[eggbeast 3684]

ok so i have imported the BI Lee Enfield rifle, and animated it to chamber a round after each bolt is actioned.

in buldozer with "reload" animating from 0 to 1, it plays perfectly - see vid

 

 

the trigger is pulled at 0.1-0.2 then the bolt is pulled back til about 0.5, then a round springs into view, and is chambered as the bolt goes forward.

 

however in game, it plays completely backwards! i was quite surprised by this as all my other reload animations work ok on other weapons.

 

any suggestions?

- do i need to reverse the animation? if so, is there an easy way to do it e.g. using phase values, rather than recreating each animation and changing direction and time?

or is something else at play here?

 

seems really weird that it plays backwards in game.

"The movement when reloading. Source is 1 as soon as shot is fired and returns to 0 within in reload time."

[eggbeast 3684]

wow i never noticed this fact when doing anims for literally a hundred weapons lol

boy oh boy, this stuff is hard enough to do, without having to think backwards.

thanks!

btw do you guys have a shotgun hand pump animation solution that doesn't use CBA, and would you possibly share the secret?

best to wait for 1.66 and weapon event handlers ;) (already available on devbranch)
