Problem with buildup displaying
I wanted to add a long buildup to a Vehicle-to-Building to show that it takes a long time to deploy and undeploy.
I've provided a gif to give a good idea.
However, the buildup displays only the first frame and then the building.
I've have no idea what's causing this behaviour, but does it have to do with buildings being hardcoded to have a limited number of frame?

Try giving all your code elements proper theater name (http://
| Renegade (renegade) said : | #2 |
Actually, make that proper theater and side names - i.e. try [NABRTH] and friends, for example.
Point is, try properly naming your objects.
| Graion Dilach (graiondilach) said : | #3 |
Honestly, Ren, SABRTH is a proper name since Ares 0.1.
I suspect that the issue is that the buildup is just too long. Somewhere on Sleipnirstuff a while ago I read that a long buildup (IIRC over 24 frames, but searching for the reference) and that causes your trouble.
| Graion Dilach (graiondilach) said : | #4 |
I couldn't find the reference of the buildup. -_-
Ren, here is why SABRTH is valid, tho. http://
| Rogan (pdrogan) said : | #5 |
Alternate theater art for building with first character not G,N,Y, or C still works up to 1169 (I'm currently using that).
I tried adding in every theater from generic to lunar and yet it still doesn't show properly...
I had to reduce it to 96 frames (shadows included) in order to get it working...
Sleipnir and Graion was right, buildups has to be less than 100 frames for it to work. But I wonder why?
| DCoder DCoder (dcoder1337) said : | #6 |
We can investigate that in the code, but I guess they wanted a constant length buildup anim or something. There was a discussion about buildup lengths on DZ a long time ago that might give you ideas.

Drogan...I know the shiny buttons all look the same (except for, you know, their explanatory text), but please watch what you click next time. Instead of confirming this as solved, you used your comment saying it was solved to tell the system it was, in fact, not solved.
You should have a "This solved my problem"-Button in the vincinity of Graion's answer; please click that to bring the question back to its proper state. If you just want to add a comment later on, use the button saying "Just Add a Comment". (You might see a connection there.)

I have created an FAQ entry for this issue, for easier search/response in the future.
FAQ #1847: “Why does my long buildup sequence not work?”.
| Rogan (pdrogan) said : | #9 |
Ah, sorry. I was curious with why there's a frame limit with buildups in the first place and sought for any further explanation or answer.
I didn't see the button under Graions' So I'm just going to set this as "Problem Solved" and Click the button under your FAQ post.
| Rogan (pdrogan) said : | #10 |
Thanks Renegade, that solved my question.
