npc animation

[Joe]

i need my npcs to do random movements..i have the frames drawn and put into loops, but if the npcs arent walking...how can i get them to yawn, or shift their weight or something?

i did search through forum but didnt find a solution, so plz guide me.

o. never mind. it does work..just slow. any way to increase animation framerate for npc?

[Joe]

ok...heres whats happening...my loop for npc DOES run..but for whatever reason...itll use first frame..play that for like 30 sec..then run through other frames real fast..then repeat.  

now i thought maybe that was becuase it was using first frame for 'other' nonexistent views...since usually there are 4 or 8 views for a character and these npc's have only one view...but after adding other frames for those views...same deal.  

any suggestions?

perhaps you have accidentally added a frame delay to the first frame of the animation "view"

in the character settings there is a field that you can use to adjust the framerate speed
