I encountered an issue with spring animation in my props. Probably it’s something basic, but for the life of me I can’t cope. I created a dog made of props. There’s body, head and tail. I merged all the parts together. I added bones to the tail, added spring effect. I used the sprite editor to choose the tail. I used prop key editor and moved the tail to wag it. I copied key frames to make the motion repetitive. When I move the slider along timeline, my spring effect works nicely. But when I use play button, nothing happens. When I collect clip and add it to motion menu, it appears there but when I try to use it nothing happens. To check the problem, I took the tail as a separate sprite. I was able to do everything. Apply spring effect, add it to menu, use play button to move it. Why on earth there is a problem whey the same sprite is a part of a prop composition. If anybody knows, I’d be grateful for advice before I’ll start banging my head against the wall.
