Is it possible? If it is, how do you people do it?

It's not possible with SetAnimTime. I assume you're talking about going from one animation sequence to another. If that's the case look at the animate command in particular the transition parameter on it. http://www.blitzbasic.com/b3ddocs/command.php?name=animate

That is horrible news! I know about Animate and I know it's pretty lacking control-wise. You can't set frames manually for one, it always starts playing at the beginning of the anim-sequence. And it's not possible to control the speed in a given sequence either once you've started to animate it. Damn!

The extract each frame out of your animseq as a unique animseq containing 1 frame, then you control the animation 100% yourself using the animate command.

Yeah, maybe I could stuff each frame(sequence) into an array or something. Hmm, thanks.

Yeah would be nice if it tweened from an arbitrary frame in a sequence to the start of another sequence so you don't get the ugly pop. If you could set the tween time from 0 to 1 second.

i've been trying to overcome this for ages and robs method seems easiest or you could try reading each bones frame,position,rotation etc and then tweening from the current values to the values of the next frame manually.
