Idle animation resetting

I noticed that after guards hear a sound and they say "what was that?" to themselves, the idle animation resets when the guard says: "must have been nothing". The reset causes a noticeable jump obviously, but especially with the current animation, which has large movements.

 

But didn't TDM used to have the guards look in the direction of the noises they noticed? Hmm maybe not...

 

EDIT: oops: title. Hmm, can't change it, or full editor button not working.

Yes, that's possible. I guess this happens during the transition back to the IdleState, but I'm not sure. I think his can be fixed by querying the current animation state when going back to Idle.

Depends on the "size" of the stimulus. If they get alerted just a little, they won't interrupt their current activity.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!
