Animations Only Playing Once

[Darkness-4ever]

In the actors tab I have set a units animation to Play Animation Dance flagged at Player Forever on the Actors Creation event, but it only runs once then goes back to the default stand animation. I only have 2 Events in there, one is to Create the Actor on the units birth and the other is the one to play the animation forever. Thanks in advance for help.

Umm sounds like 'forever' isn't really .. 'forever'. Maybe try using triggers? Or call Chuck Norris.
So far the data editor has proven to be nothing but glitchy and unreliable.

Pretty sure its because of the way the dance animation is made.

Also, you can achieve the effect you are looking for this way:

Ah thanks mrzwach, that will work nicely. +Rep.

Yeah, it appears that after a ton of testing, and making damn sure it couldn't be a problem with effects or behaviors, the solution posted by mrzwach doesn't actually work, all it does is play the animation a second time and then it disappears again.
