Inconsistent OnAnimation behavior : V

» Tue Apr 02, 2013 3:06 am

I'm desperately trying to figure out what on earth is wrong with this script. I have set up a Start game enabled quest, generated the SEQ file and attached this script to a player alias [flagging it as Reserved].

The trace shows that the animation event is *always* registered properly, implying that the script always run as expected on a new game but the OnAnimation event doesn't always fire up. When it does, it does *only* upon reloading a save, and *not* always. However, once a game is reloaded and the OnAnimation event *does* fire up, it always work in subsequent saves and reloads. It's completely inconsistent and I don't have the slightest clue why. Any ideas?

Spoiler
