Ok, I haven't tested this, but it'll get you on the right track. Read the code and then look at the explanation below. I assume this is all the code you have, right?



First, you want to load the animation before the main loop, this way you avoid accedentally reloading the animation. Second, your if statements were continuosly triggering. Once you've reached the waypoint, you want the program to know you've reached. This you already did with disX# and disZ# testing, but you also need a test to see if the waypoint has been previously reached. Finally, placing a stop animation right after the play animation will instantly stop the animation. The code will continue to run even when you have called a play animation command. Hopefully this will help. I don't use animation files that often and I'm not sure the code will cut the animation but it should. Keep in mind, that this code could still use a lot of work, but I did this without the compiler Good luck!
