Questions on animated player model and animated entities

by FireAlphaT » Post

Hi, I'm working on a game and wanted to use a custom player model and wanted to use animated entities. I've already managed to make and animate the models in Blender and exported them as .b3d, using the default player .blend file as an example.
However, for what concerns the entities I cannot figure out their declaration, despite having looked through the API documentation, the wiki, and some mods, but couldn't check the forum because of the various errors and connection timeouts, while for the player model I tried to modify the player_api mod, but when I start the game I get this error:

I'm using Minipeli as a base and I have added only a mod to add a few meshnodes and particle spawners.
Thanks in advance for any help

EDIT: updated the error code, the error is the same as before

Can you post your modified player_api mod's code? That would make it a lot easier to make sense of the error message.

player:set_local_animation expects 5 params - 4 tables and 5th is number (frame speed)
Your 3rd param is number, not table.
