Im trying to play an idle animation on this model when 5 seconds have passed of doing nothing. I set up a variable "idle" to know when the character is idle. Ive run into a problem however it doesnt seem to work. My code is attatched. For anyone asking the idle variable is not in the DO..LOOP . So its not reassigning itself the same value. I think its the timer() command, but in fact I don't have a clue :p
Thanks.

Hm this gets my idle animation playing, but only the idle animation
My other animation code wont play at all. Ill post the animation code I have. Thanks for your input so far. Is there a way to play the moving animation without the "else" too? It interrupts other if statements but I couldnt think of any other way to do it. Thanks

*edit* ah I forgot to add idle=0 in the code box in between "set object frame 1,0" and "if idle=0 then idle=timer()+5000"
