I've made a script for my map, it compiles, but in-game it skips some parts. The beggining recorded animation works for a pelican, but then the exit animation for it doesn't. I put to create some objects, but it doesn't create it. I've used DEV cam in-game, and saw some stuff didn't spawn. I also used DEV mode and entered parts of the script in-game, and they worked fine. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

The ones in red are the ones that don't work.

The correct command for that is "(recording_play_and_delete pelican extraction_pelican_out)". You don't even need the object_destroy command for that one. Also, that could be what's causing the problem - you're telling the game to destroy the pelican right after telling it to run the recorded animation on it. It doesn't wait until it's finished.

It looks like that's the case for a few of your recordings. Try fixing that first and see how it works out - it may allow the other parts of the script to function.

You shouldn't hijack someone else's thread.

PM me - I'll help you there.

It helped. But the vehicles don't play the exit recording, only the enter. Do I need to put a sleep command in between? I thought the next command starts once the recorded animation is finished.

Yeah, you need to sleep it. Easy way of doing it:

(sleep (recording_time <recordinganimationhere>))

That sleeps it for the entire duration of the recorded animation.
