The visual waveset and the swimming regions with its current are completely independent from each other.

Far more then the wave height which is flattened by the large quiet part of the waveset.
The avatar's behavior seems not to be flattened and follows the peak heights.
He falls back and is pushed out again, so on and on.
My assumtion is that you did not align the Y vector of the direction empty absolutely horizontal.
Because the Y vector determines the direction, it will throw the avatar up when the direction has a Z component.

And again you where right!
You could hardly see it but it did have a slight rotation.
A new empty put in from top view, solved this.
It acts more naturely now.
Thx!

Does Quickscripting have an expressing for triggering Material_animation ?

If you really mean QuickScript (= shorthand for a few common AlcScripts) then the answer is no.
AlcScript does have options for
controlling layer animations.

Thx D'Lanor.
Unfortely I don't succeed in getting working code.
I have A Journeycloth with animated texture (glowing )
a region , a seekpoint and a soundemitter.
I cooked up this code for it:

file: Tisle_journey
volume: 1
minfdist: 20
maxfdist: 50

the cloth animation never stops
does not react on a touch
no avatar animation.
and no sound.
Can you correct this ?
i need an sdl in it for remembering all the cloth touches.
I think i need one for every cloth, or can i use a string with flags?

Is Cloth1 the actual object with the layer animation? It won't work on any object.
You did not name your responder so the click had no effect.
Edit: I have now named it Cloth1Glowing.

I too eagerly await the answer on how to prevent material animations from looping. :)
( In Rell-Too there is a handful of matanims, that triggers in sequence. I wound up resorting to including each three times, in the responder that controls them: Once to stop them and go to frame one, before their coming into view, once to start them in turn and once to stop and reset them again, following a timer callback each. :P )

Is Cloth1 the actual object with the layer animation? It won't work on any object.
I don't understand . I thought a material is always applied to an object.
The Journeycloth (object Plane) has two layers.
The second layer opacity goes from 0 to 1 by the col slider in "map to" with an Ipo curve.
This ipo should be triggered by touching the cloth as a oneshot.
I used your edited code.
result:
touch animation is working.
Layer animationg is looping before and after the touch.
No Sound
{Edit}
If what I initially wanted is not possible then i have found the next solution.
i place two clothes behind each other.
1 with a not animated texture and 1 with the looping animated texture.
With another ipo curve i bring the looping animation in front of the first one and back again.
What do you think of this?

Correction for sound emitter:
Code: Select all
- type: soundmsg
params:
receivers:
- 0011:Cloth1_se
cmds:
- play
waiton: -1
I suspect naming errors elsewhere too.
Is Cloth1 the name of the object with the layer animation? Or is the object called Plane? And is Journey the name of your material? This code works if you get your naming references right. I have used it on many occasions.
Code: Select all
<name of object with the layer animation>:
visual:
matanims:
- mat: <material name>
flags:
- stopped
And be sure not to use this same material on multiple objects.
