Alternatives to Play Animation function?

[aple]

I need something for my movement system that I'm working on to make animations play properly. I don't know what's causing the issue at hand, but animations either don't play at all or very quickly restart. If you could tell me an alternate function or helping me figure out what's wrong with it, that'd be greatly appreciated.

Here is a download to the map if you want to look at it: Download

I can't check the map right now, but isn't there something like run speed in the animation fields in the object editor? I think it is to set how fast their animation plays while they are moving.

Maybe those speeds determine when to use which animation or something? I don't know. I've never fiddled with them, but that is what I assumed they do...

I don't think that value in the Object Editor has anything to do with the Trigger Editor's Play Animation. Tested it with a few different values and got the same results.

You either used Playing animations in a Periodic Event or maybe you reset animations in a Periodic Event.

Would facing possibly reset animations?

Other than that, I don't see anything at all that has to do with animations, other then my one single play animation action, and none of them are in periodic triggers. (Or at least I can't find anything =\...)

Do you use "Play Animation" or "Queue Animation"?

Use SetUnitAnimationByIndex.

i.e. call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(<Unit>, 5)

That will play the unit's 5th animation. The issue is that this solution is less portable than just telling a unit to "stand" (you have to find the appropriate index for each unit you want to support) but it usually gets the job done better than the normal "Play Animation" function.
