Anybody know how? I just want him to use his sword.
If you tell me to delete the animations, is there a preferred way? Should the animation be deleted and all other animations moved to fill in the gap? Or is the animation replaced by some dummy animation that does nothing? Anyone know how this was done between the original wads and the revised wads?

Texture the red ninja with the white ninja's textures using Strpix. That is easier.

If you just delete all state changes to the shoot animations he can't shoot at all.

But tomb4 doesn't always follow the state changes. At least not for Lara.
I found this out by trial and error. I rearranged some of the animations, putting them in a different order. I made sure I renumbered all Next Anim fields, all state changes, and all dispatches. When I did certain moves, Lara did strange things. Like when I jumped into a wall, she went thru it. Sound effects also stopped working (strangely).
I tried this twice, and double checked everything each time. I finally came to the conclusion that tomb4 was going to a hard-coded animation number for certain actions, instead of using state changes.

As I think back about it, I remember not wanting to mess with the frames, because there were so many of them. Maybe changing the animation order had the side effect of automatically changing the frame numbers. Maybe I should try this experiment again.

Lara is one of the moveables that always follows the state changes. If there is no statechange, she won't do that animation. Search for my post 'LARA IS OURS!' for more, I once deletes all her running animations.
