Summary

Hello, I've run into a weird problem. I am trying to script call using the show picture command and the wait command in a while loop so that I can animate the player. I figured out how to code it, but it doesn't run like it's supposed to. The screenshot shows the code in question. It's supposed to show the image, wait 5 frames, show the next image, etc. In total, it should be showing 90 images. The files are all named correctly (i.e. "Player0_010", "Player0_011".

Hello, I've run into a weird problem. I am trying to script call using the show picture command and the wait command in a while loop so that I can animate the player. I figured out how to code it, but it doesn't run like it's supposed to.

The screenshot shows the code in question. It's supposed to show the image, wait 5 frames, show the next image, etc. In total, it should be showing 90 images.

The files are all named correctly (i.e. "Player0_010", "Player0_011". "Player0_012", etc.) and are all there, and there is no error popping up, but when this script executes, it jumps to the last picture  ("Player0_099") immediately without going through the other ones. I've tested it doing it with event commands (a lot more time it takes and it looks a lot messier) and it works fine, but it doesn't work correctly when using the script event command. Is there something I'm missing?

If anyone could test this out, and see if you get the same problem, it will be much appreciated. I'm thinking it may just be a bug. Before you ask, yes, I turned OFF all my plugins and did it in a clean project with the same problem. If you need more info, I'll be happy to provide it.
