From this page of the wiki. :
I have set up the t2dShape3d source code to callback to the script when it is 0.5 seconds from finishing the animation.
In the callback I blend in my new animation which is selected by the user. This all works perfectly.
The problem is, if the user didn't select an animation before time ran out I play a generic animation while I wait for them to select one. The next animation they select immediately gets blended in.
When I blend in the new animation and the old animation isn't almost complete, the player moves a very small amount and the old animation just keeps on playing.
I'm using:
This seems like a bug to me. Shouldn't it transition to the new animation and then continue to play it?
Quote:Transition Time; this is the time it takes for the new animation to take effect. When you start an animation, T2D will blend any existing animation with the new one. This blending means that you can gradually start an animation rather than abruptly changing it. The default, if not specified, is "0" e.g. instant change of animation.

I'm using:
$player1.playAnimation(myNewAnimation, 0, 0.5); // This is being called properly.
