    I have an animation that I want to play from frame 50 to 517 and then after it is done I want it to loop from 175 to 517. I have tried changing the loop settings in Blender; but this doesn’t seem to allow me to do want I want as it either loops 50 to 517 continuously or it won’t loop 175 to 517. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Tony

    Unfortunally for now it’s not possible to play once and loop the same action for one object suing Puzzles, only using JavaScript I think.

    Hi Tony,

    You might want to divide you animation to be able to play the looped range separately from the linear one.

    Thanks for the quick responses. I ended up using a duplicated object and separated the linear and looping animations. Then I did a show/hide when the linear animation completed.
    I did find a separate issue. When I play a section of an animation “reversed” the animation starts at the end frame (as it is supposed to), but it does not stop at the start frame?

    You mean it continue playing? Can you share a simplified example?

    yes, it continues playing to the past the start frame. I will have to build an example.

    Here is a simple example. Thanks again for all the help.

    Thanks for narrowing down this problem. Unfortunately (and counter-intuitively), a reverse animation cannot trigger the when finished do slot at an arbitrary frame, so it is always played until the first frame. Again, creating a separate range can be a solution here.

    Sorry for the inconvenience. We value your feedback very much and will hopefully rework our animation system to make it handle such cases.
