Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. I was trying to get this working myself but I still get some flicker in between animations. I'll try to fix this in the next version so that animations can blend smoothly between one another. In the meantime you might have to do this manually.

The act method simply queues an action which calls the execute command of an avatar. The execute command simply executes the animation cycle once. I've included a sample script which shows how to do this manually. Let me know if you have trouble getting it to work. (Note, you must press the spacebar to start the animation sequence)

import viz
viz.go()

#Declare a timer constant
NEXT_ACTION = 0

#Add the avatar
male = viz.add('male.cfg')
male.translate(0,0,6)
male.rotate(180,0,0)

#Create list of actions to be executed
actions = [2,2,3]


def onkeydown(key):
	if key == ' ':
		#Start timer to execute actions
		viz.starttimer(NEXT_ACTION,0.01)

viz.callback(viz.KEYDOWN_EVENT,onkeydown)


def ontimer(num):
	if num == NEXT_ACTION:
		if len(actions) > 0:
			#Remove first animation from list
			animation = actions.pop(0)
			#Get the duration of the animation
			duration = male.getduration(animation)
			#Execute the animation (with 0.1 in/out delays)
			male.execute(animation,0.1,0.1)
			#Start a timer that will expire before next animation is finished
			viz.starttimer(NEXT_ACTION,duration - 0.1)
		else:
			print 'No more actions'

viz.callback(viz.TIMER_EVENT,ontimer)
