Override Animation function, plays animation being overriden.

♤|SODA|♤

This is another bug that's been around for awhile, that I'm only just now realizing no one has made a report for. 😆
So, here I am, making one, just in case! 😅

Does the issue occur in the editor or during gameplay?

Gameplay

If it's a gameplay issue, please specify which movement system and camera type you're using (free movement vs. grid movement, third-person vs. first-person) or N/A if not applicable:

All

Briefly describe the issue you're experiencing:

override_animation() plays the animation being overridden in certain circumstances.
when I was testing this bug, I discovered there was a bit more nuance when it comes to this bug,
so, in the "Provide the steps necessary to reproduce the issue:" section of this post, I'll put in the code I input, and what occurs after. : )

Are there any errors in the in-game debug console or external console window?

I got this, but I'm not sure if it's an error or not..

Provide the steps necessary to reproduce the issue:

Example 1:

1st try override_animation(player, "walk", "new_walk"); works as intended
2nd try override_animation(player, "walk", "new_walk"); plays "new_walk" animation
3rd try override_animation(player, "walk", "new_walk"); plays "new_walk" animation
4th try override_animation(player, "walk", "new_walk"); plays "new_walk" animation
etc...

Example 2:

1st try override_animation(player, "walk", "new_walk"); works as intended
2nd try override_animation(player, "walk", "new_walk"); plays "new_walk" animation
3rd try override_animation(player, "walk", "walk"); plays "walk" animation
4th try override_animation(player, "walk", "walk"); works as intended.
5th try override_animation(player, "walk", "walk"); works as intended.
etc...

Example 3:

1st try override_animation(player, "walk", "new_walk"); works as intended.
2nd try override_animation(player, "walk", "walk"); plays "walk" animation
4th try override_animation(player, "walk", "new_walk"); works as intended
5th try override_animation(player, "walk", "new_walk"); plays "new_walk" animation
etc...

At one point, I got this to work

-override_animation(player, "walk", "walk"); plays "walk" animation
-override_animation(player, "walk", "walk"); plays "walk" animation
-override_animation(player, "walk", "walk"); plays "walk" animation.
-etc..
but, I'm not sure what I did different to do this, and wasn't able to reproduce it. : /

Here is a video of the bit that I wasn't able to reproduce.

note: you don't have to use an animation called "new_walk", it works with other animations. this is just what i used for my examples. : )

♤|SODA|♤ Thanks for the report, SODA, and for the examples! I believe I have this fixed for the next release. I had some logic that was meant to trigger the animation again (e.g. if you overrode a walk animation with another one and the player was currently walking), but it wasn't quite right and would trigger even when it shouldn't. 😅

♤|SODA|♤ Hello, my wonderful friend! Thank you so much for the report. This should now be fixed as of v1.2.

Justin SWEET! 😄
Glad I could help. 🙂

Yes, this one is fixed. I didn't make a report on it because it was just a minor visual thing since there is another bug that completely breaks the newly replaced walking animation. I have a report on that that i made in August and updated. I was able to replicate that in V1.2.
