Animation Problems

I don't know if it is just me or something, but I ALWAYS have problems with getting animations to work right. I am having an especially difficult time right now, I am trying to change the animation state of a gun on my character, but instead of it changing it wants to be all stubborn. I have tried so many things. I have renamed the animation, I have made a new animation, I have edited the animation, I have tried changing up the sequence it is called in. I don't know what to do. Does anyone else have animation problems? And if so how do you deal with them?

Animation problems are quite common. Unfortunately it's also common to post about a vague problem without even providing a cap file demonstrating it. I would have to guess, since I can't see the events you're using to control your animations.

So please provide a cap. I'm positive it'll be a pretty simple problem. But I'd rather not guess...

I had a feeling someone would need to see the .cap. I was just wary of posting it, but since that is what is needed, I shall.

Basically I have it something like this.

If gun = holstered
      gun animation = holstered[/code:2ct1w8ib]

At first, it would only play the holstered animation. Now it won't play the holstered animation.
It's under the group combat, under the group weapons, under the group Falcon, under the group Holstered.

I forgot the controls. Sorry.
W switches weapons, A and D move, Shift jumps, Mouse to aim, Left click to shoot.

Event #16 under Combat\Weapons\Falcon:

+ psidea: Value 'name' Equal to "Falcon"
-> psidea: Set animation to "Falcon"
-> psidea: Set 'recoil' to 4
-> psidea: Set 'reloadtime' to 17
-> psidea: Set 'mmag' to 12
[/code:3jm2zgxo]
The event is always true so the animation is always getting set to "Falcon" overriding any animation changes.  Removing the action "-> psidea: Set animation to "Falcon"" will fix it.

I feel stupid now. I should have seen it. I fixed that, and it worked at first but now it goes back to being stubborn after I change up the weapons once.

When everything starts the animation is correct, but I swap weapons once and my gun is on my foot again
