if I make a empty idle animation it shows the timeline still moves when played so would the animation still loop, basically the idle animation keeps interrupting my open animation because I don't want the vault door to play the idle animation right after the open animation I even set the door open and door close animations to hold on last frame but then the stupid idle animation just closes the door right away.
Unless I'm missing it, is there a way/could there eventually be a way to have a setting for animated blocks to allow animations to play even when one is active? I have a block you can intentionally spam click and the animation wont play again if it's already in motion.
Hello , i have encountered some errors while compiling after updating to 2023.1 of MCreator.

It seems to affect both animated entities and animated blocks. Could you give me some insight on my errors , or is this a bug ?
Hi Nerdy i would like to report this:
https://pastebin.com/YgppQMnX
It also prevent me from launching the mod, i have many geckolib block,armors,and various stuffs
and it just happened from nowhere, any idea on how to fix that? its realy important.
Also would be dope to be able to detect the animated armor in the item selector, thanks again!
You know what would be cool? If you could be able to replace an entity's (or even items, blocks and armors) animation with any other animation through a procedure. Like, for example, if a custom logic NBT tag was true, idle, walking, sprinting (and all animations basically) would be different until another procedure made it different.
If the animation that is being changed is a loop animation, the one replacing should be a loop animation as well.
Hello! I tried installing the most recent version of the plugin last night but I had no luck. I have a Mac and a windows computer so I tried using it on both to see if it was an issue with the operating system but neither worked. I tried making a new workspace with the newest version of MCreator without the plugin installed and that did work, however when I re added the plugin it went back to not responding when I tried opening it with the plugin installed. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Please Please Please Add some sort of procedure or something to turn off the idle animation or add some sort of option for idle animation to where it doesn't play after your last animation because i have a vault door but after the last frame ends the idle animation plays with it just being closed, I have spent over 8 hours now trying every loop and parameter I could think of but to no avail. please this is very useful especially for doors and other animations that would require the idle loop turned off.
