[NOT-A-BUG] [Each render of TVActor increasing its animation speed]

[vbCrLf]

EDIT: Sorry, my fault. This is not a bug.

TVActor.Render() increasing animation speed. I just tested it, rendered the same actor 16 times, and the animation speed was very high (with one render everything ok, of curse).

vbCrLf.

isn't tvactor.render updating animation as well? maybe thats why you're getting high speed

[vbCrLf]

Maybe, but its not suppose to update the animation... For example, how can I render the glow surface?

And you are 100% sure you didn't do TVActor.Update() 16 times?
Try TVActor.Render(false), that should solve your problems, afaik only Update
actually updates the actor.

Ok, sorry... Not a bug... Thanks Brac.

Is that really all you need to do? Because if I have a glow effect enabled, thus requiring a separate render pass for the glow effect, I call Actor->Render() during the normal render pass and then Actor->Render(False) during the glow pass, and my actors are still doubling their animation speed.

Is there anything else on actor which has the same effect? I've already checked I'm not calling Actor->Render() at any other times and I'm not calling Actor->Update at all.

I wondered if it might be because my skeletons are being shared between actors, but unfortunately, with the TVA exporter broken, I can't export any new ones to try using different actors for the shadows.
