How to get the animation back to normal?

Hi, I am trying to run animation in the process flow then I want to get the default animation back after a task is done, for some reason it's not working when choosing an animation of a lower number , it works only with a higher number. For example, if I ran animation 17 , then I can only run animation 18 or higher after, I can't return to animation 1 (Walk). I have attached the model

Thanks

The animation you are starting has "Repeat Indefinitely" as its Repeat Type.

Normally you wouldn't need to explicitly stop your animation, but because of this animation's repeat type, if you want it to go back to the operator's normal animations, then you need to stop the animation. You can do this with the Stop Animation pick option on a Custom Code activity:

16105-containerization-1.fsm

Because that animation is distance-based and your model is in feet, you might also want to increase the length of that animation to fix the speed of the animation so that the operator's feet don't slide around as he's pushing:

repeat-indefinitely.png (236.0 KiB)

Thanks, but I was wondering why can't I run an animation which index is lower than the one already running?

Because it is running both animations. It is applying the lower index animation and then applying the higher index animation on top of it, overwriting what the lower index animation did.

Hi Khalid Kayal,

Here is the updated model with the animation. I have done the containerization.fsmanimation in the operator's load & unload triggers.
