Issue Checklist

• I have properly named the issue
• I have checked the issues/discussions pages to see if the issue has been previously reported

What platform are you using?

Itch.io (Downloadable Build) - Windows

If you are playing on a browser, which one are you using?

None

Version

0.5.0

Context (Provide images, videos, etc.)

I found it odd that Pico plays the burping animation once at the end of South, but not the second time.

As it turns out, burpShit plays

...but burpSmile doesn't play right afterwards

However, burpSmile plays just fine at the beginning of Guns

Here's a video of the animations:

Steps to reproduce (or crash logs, errors, etc.)

Play South (Pico Mix)

A virus again?
This is like the second time in this repo

[Hundrec]

Uh huh, reporting right now

[Hundrec]

Scammers be like:

Install this virus to make Pico burp twice

I think this issue is just a cause of the animation not existing for the character of pico-dark

I investigated pico-dark.json, pico_dark.png, and pico_dark.xml and found the animation in all of them. Something's just not working somewhere along the way!

wrong anim name

Running into this same issue but with a mod I'm working on rn, my guess is maybe its an issue with forcing the animation perhaps?

[OrbyyOrbinaut]

It seems like the issue has to do when you force an animation to play when a forced one is already playing (for the event at least, not sure if this is an issue otherwise)

[Hundrec]

You're right! I disabled forcing for the burpShit animation and it allowed burpSmile to play. Turns out the burpShit animation just lasts longer than it needs to and overrides following animations for nearly two bars.

[OrbyyOrbinaut]

This only half the issue, What happens right now is trying to play two forced animations in a row causes the second forced one to not play for whatever reason. (This didn't happen on 0.4.1 so I assume the current behavior is a bug)

[Hundrec]

This has always been the case, refer to #2670

[OrbyyOrbinaut]

Oh huh, never knew.

[IdealistCat]

that's weird

[Hundrec]

Resolved in 0.5.1, perhaps by shortening the length of burpShit

[IdealistCat]

probably

I feel like to solve another issue like this in the future, would it be more feasible if the “Force” toggle also cancels any forced animations? I’m not really sure.

I've thought about how the "Force" feature should really work.
I think we could benefit from having two separate levels of forcing:

• One that overrides animations like the "Force" we have now
• One that overrides all other animations including the above Forced animations (an "Absolute Force" of sorts)
