Definitely it can't be a scripting issue. I added this line to the code...

iPrintLnBold(isDefined(self),isDefined(#animtree),isDefined(%cube_doors_open),self==door); // "door" is the door model

...and it prints "1111", so everything is well defined and "self" is the door.

I got the PM sending me the model but forgot all about it lol

my bad man, will check it when i get in after work

No problem.
I made changes to the file I sent you but I used basically the same method so it still doesn't work.

Also I noticed I had an error in the script and now the setModel() works. I haven't mentioned it before because I didn't realise it wasn't working.

can you either post or pm me the script so i can check it fully? anim tree too

startDoorsAnim() {
    door = getEnt( "cube_door","targetname" );
    door thread waitDoor();
}

#using_animtree( "cube_doors" );
waitDoor(){	
    wait(5);
	while(1){
        
		self UseAnimTree(#animtree);
        
		self SetAnim(%cube_doors_open);
                wait( getanimlength( %cube_doors_open );
        
		self clearanim( %cube_doors_open, 0 );
		self setModel("cube_doors_opened");
        
                iPrintLnBold(self.model);
 
                wait(2);
        
		self SetAnim(%cube_doors_close);
                wait( getanimlength( %cube_doors_close ) );
		self setModel("cube_doors");
        
		self clearanim( %cube_doors_close, 0 );
	}
}

cube_doors_open
cube_doors_close

have you tried setAnimScripted() instead?

To this day i never worked out why, but SetAnim messed up the origins box and SetAnimScripted didnt

if your not clearing the anim you wont need a "open" model btw. All my mystery boxes have "open / close" and one model

startDoorsAnim() {
    door = getEnt( "cube_door","targetname" );
    door thread waitDoor();
}

#using_animtree( "cube_doors" );
waitDoor(){	
    wait(5);
	while(1){
        
		self UseAnimTree(#animtree);
        
		self AnimScripted("open_door",self.origin,self.angles,%cube_doors_open);
                self waittill("open_door", end);
        
		self clearanim( %cube_doors_open, 0 );
		self setModel("cube_doors_opened");//remove line if using one model without looping anims
        
                iPrintLnBold(self.model);
 
                wait(2);
        
		self SetAnim(%cube_doors_close);
		self AnimScripted("close_door",self.origin,self.angles,%cube_doors_close);
                self waittill("close_door", end);
		self setModel("cube_doors");//remove line if using one model without looping anims
        
		self clearanim( %cube_doors_close, 0 );
	}
}

I use AnimScripted for zombies, forget why, codmod told me once I think. All the anims, I received for all my stuff, since I don't do anims or models yet myself, have been looping. That is why I keep mentioning, if it is a looping anim. If your anim opens and holds, then I guess you won't need another model to hold it open, cause using two models is based on your animation. If it is a looping anim, you have to set the open model when opening after the anim plays. Clear isn't needed at all I don't think, I just add it all the time.

If you wanted to try AnimScripted you could try this, but I use both and have the same result on all my anims on robots,doors,stuff, but not tested setanim on zombies.

startDoorsAnim() {
    door = getEnt( "cube_door","targetname" );
    door thread waitDoor();
}

#using_animtree( "cube_doors" );
waitDoor(){	
    wait(5);
	while(1){
        
		self UseAnimTree(#animtree);
        
		self AnimScripted("open_door",self.origin,self.angles,%cube_doors_open);
                self waittill("open_door", end);
        
		self clearanim( %cube_doors_open, 0 );
		self setModel("cube_doors_opened");//remove line if using one model without looping anims
        
                iPrintLnBold(self.model);
 
                wait(2);
        
		self SetAnim(%cube_doors_close);
		self AnimScripted("close_door",self.origin,self.angles,%cube_doors_close);
                self waittill("close_door", end);
		self setModel("cube_doors");//remove line if using one model without looping anims
        
		self clearanim( %cube_doors_close, 0 );
	}
}

your prob right and it wont help, but just a thought

My origins box wasnt "not animating", but the lid would barely raise, despite in the anim itself it should have been about 200 feet above me ( lol i did that to see what the hell was going on )

When i changed it to animscripted it started raising to the place i had actually set in the anim. I still dont understand the difference between the two functions tbh lol



Clear is needed with setAnim, but not SetAnimScripted. Or so good ol Redspace taught me

I'm not familiar with SET animscripted. You only need the clear to stop the looping anim, I think, if desired. Your issue would happen with a small wait in a while loop and you keep setting the anim without waiting till the anim was done, most likely.

Not working with animScripted neither.
It only waits until the animation is supposed to be done and changes the model (I'm using a looping anim).
But yesterday, with the other script (setAnim), it played an anim. It wasn't the anim I wanted (it deformed the doors just a bit, without moving them, and they changed to the other model) and when I changed to other anim didn't work again. But I can't remember which anim or model I was using lol.

did you convert relative or delta in assman

At the beginning relative. Now I use delta.

delta is for ai

so I moves them, instead of "appearing" to move them. Try relative again with all the changes you've done to the script now
