Animating an NPC, getting weird teacup frame.

[ian80]

Here's the script:

if (IsTimerExpired(1)==1) {
PlaySound(2);
SetGlobalInt(2,4);     
Wait(20);
DisplayMessage(20);
Wait(40);
MoveCharacterBlocking (EGO,190,150,0);
DisplayMessage(23);
character[ZSA].room = 1;
character[ZSA].x = 215;
character[ZSA].y = 125;
character[MID].room = 1;
character[MID].x = 215;
character[MID].y = 126;
MoveCharacterBlocking(ZSA,303,147,0);
DisplayMessage(26);
MoveCharacterBlocking(MID,295,142,0);
DisplayMessage(27);
}

When the two characters move, I seem to be getting a quick extra little frame of the teacup and can't figure out why. It isn't in the animation, but it is showing up for some reason. Does this happen to anyone else? Is there a way to fix this?

Err... you sure you don't have an empty frame in your character's walking views? Because the blue cup is sprite 0, it is usually inserted in new frames and used when the actual sprite is not available.. (unless the game crashes)

Also, make sure the NPC's walking view has at least 4 loops, and that each loop has at least 2 frames in it.
