there’s an issue with the axe animation from the animation pack that DerTheVaporeon made, and I’m trying to figure out why it’s having issues. whenever it would kill an enemy it will just stall

also this is the scripting of the animation
That’s odd. The animation works 100% fine for me. What emulator are you using?
This was recorded from mGBA, and it also works in VBA-M.
Alternatively, make sure you patch your rom with the C01 hack. That’s perhaps the issue.
Im using VBA, and yes I do have the C01 hack enabled
Which version of VBA? The original version, or VBA-M?
original
Welp.
I’d recommend you to download and upgrade to VBA-M, then try again, please; the original VBA branch has been discontinued for a long time, and certain FE8 hacks tend to act funny in the original VBA.
alright, I tried it on VBA-M (I have it as a secondary testing thingy, though it doesn’t work with FEBuilder’s Emulator Debug tool for some reason)
You should try to set it as the primary testing emulator, since FEBuilder seems to be built to open up the Emulator Debug tool when it’s assigned as the primary.
the debug tool says the emulator isn’t working
Please, make sure VBA-M is set in the primary emulator, that’s what I said.
You can try updating that. I mean, the animation works for me, not sure if for anyone else.
Otherwise, use the TrashMan dump of FE8.
the animation works 100% fine with VBA-M, but the debug tool doesnt want to work with VBA-M, with the tool saying the emulator isnt working
Well, at least we know the animation works now, though you might want to ask @7743 about it personally at his thread.
thanks for the help!
For me it happened when the axe misses, instead of the foe’s dodge animation it freezes the game.
Some users have reported that and I have left in a command I shouldn’t have left in there, so I have fixed the script now. Same for the axe freezing, which I thought was just on the end of emulators.
