It occurs to me that you didn't check if my (or hoikas') scripts affected the synchflags on the actual animation and responder objects. The only check was on the Sceneobject. Unfortunately, I don't think PRPTool will show you those. Perhaps someone could use pageexplorer on a responder and atcanim exported with the bogus/none scriptflags and see if the export doesn't override them. (which I suspect it does)
And Hoikas, I don't know what you're trying to do, but it sure doesn't make sense. He said exclude all worked well enough, but it was the opposite of the effect he really wanted. Telling him to just exclude some instead makes no sense, as it's more or less the same as what I suggested before. (not to mention I haven't a clue why you're going on about warping and safe points when he just wants to save the responder and animation state)
Edit: Nevermind, I get it, XRegion was just another "bogus" flag, only yours looked less bogus. Still, that leaves the question of why you were shocked when bob showed you that it set exactly the flags you told it to.
Edit2: Hoikas informs me that responders do always exclude their own state, and that changing this has never been tried (by us) and there are no examples of cyan doing this. Uncharted territory.
