"Show Animation" always shows on the player no matter the target

Hi,

No matter what I do and no matter which type of event I am using - "Show Animation" will place the animation ALWAYS ON THE PLAYER and never anywhere else. Not on the event that is calling. Not on an event specified. It seems the "character" selection in that command is only for decoration and entirely broken.

Is there a bugfix script I can use to make this work?

Thank you kindly :)

Hm, works fine for me. Have you tried that in a new project? Maybe you have a script that does something strange.

EDIT2:

I thought I had it solved but no. I just made a new project, placed an event with autorun and made it "show animation". which is shown ON THE PLAYER.

which animation are you trying to display?


The display depends not only on the target set in the event command "show animation", but also on the position setting of the animation in the database. If that position is set to screen, then the target selection of the command will always be ignored, because there will be no target. And then it might appear to be centered on the player because in almost all cases the player is on the center of the screen - try displaying the animation on a small map with the player moved into an edge of the map to see if its really on the player - or if it's just a centered screen animation...

I tried positions head, center, feet, screen - all with identical results.

I made another new project and it worked. Then I went back to my original project and tried again. With nothing changed, it worked instantly. Now this is really weird but I hope it stays that way and thx for both of you posting answers :)
