Staff animation glitch when resting on sofa
Observed graphical issue. The animations for the doctor getting up/sitting down (and maybe other staff) appear to be glitchy when resting on a sofa.
Should be reproducable on any game where staff are resting. Happening on 0.64 rc1 and trunk. I imagine we didn't apply any graphics changes in rc2...
Can you include the screenshot. For these issues a screenshot is the best way to communicate.
I believe this one might require a recording. But I'll do my best to get on it
Thanks! Does it always happen when another staff walks in front of the sofa like that? If so I believe it's the same cause as https://github.com/CorsixTH/CorsixTH/issues/1255 - the patch in that ticket would fix it - but cause lots of other glitches. Just speculation as I haven't looked closely at these again yet.
Nope. This effect can happen even if they're the only person in the room.
It also only happens in that orientation.
Edit: Also confirmed on handymen, so the bug likely relates to the action than a specific animation/sprite?
This looks to be a frame desync complicated by using the object with split animations.
The staff member in this case is a junior doctor. Entity.tick has these junior staff tick at half the rate (self.slow_animation). But also seems to call Entity.tick from Staff.tick and this operates on only one animation not two. Unlike the Object.tick which handles split animations. and that allows them to desync.
I haven't yet worked out a nice simple resolution

Actually the glitch was happening on a consultant, if that changes things? But I do think it might happen with every speed of NPC
