AI glitches out after ambientAnim__terminate

[KeiwaM 1]

So I've been working all morning on a short little thing that will make an AI play an animation and exit it when shot at/near. I've found a lot of help through old posts on here and I've ended up with this.

 

[this,"STAND1","ASIS"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim;

this addEventHandler ["FiredNear", 
{
    _this call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim__terminate;
    this removeEventHandler [_thisEvent, _thisEventHandler]
}];

 

And while the script technically works, I'm having a weird AI issue afterwards. The AI sort of tracks me as I run around him, but he makes these weird upper-body flicks. If I stand still, he will shoot either to the left or right of me. The AI hits maybe 1 in 30 shots at me this way. It's really frustrating, makes the AI useless and I can't figure out if it's the script or not.

Hoping for help!

I have just tested this on a regular placed AI with no init or scripts, and it switches between behaving normal and behaving like this. Not sure why

Out of curiosity, why not use BIS_fnc_ambientAnimCombat to have AI exit the animation when in danger?

The reason I don't like this is because it doesn't function with my mission. ambientAnimCombat will exit the animation whenever the AI spots a threat - meaning even if that threat is 300 meters away in a dark night, where realistically he wouldn't be seen, the AI will leave their animation to look in their direction and shoot. 

 

I found the solution however. For anyone who needs it in the future, this is how;

 

[this,"STAND1","ASIS"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim; 
 
this addEventHandler ["FiredNear",  
{ 
    (_this select 0) call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim__terminate; 
    (_this select 0) removeEventHandler [_thisEvent, _thisEventHandler] 
}];
