📋 About This Mod

Fix The Error Vanilla weapon switch movement animation

This occurs when the player switches weapon types while moving

Fixed all problematic weapon types

The wrong type of mobile animation for this bug                                                                        This is after Fix

It is very easy to trigger this bug in the game, just change the weapon type while moving.

The priority level does not affect the effectiveness of the fix and does not interfere with non-vanilla mod animations.

The animation of 'Weapon switch animation Fix' only starts when a bug is triggered, and non original mod animation can quickly overwrite the animation of 'Weapon switch animation Fix'

When players encounter an error, the 'Weapon switch animation Fix' will replace the incorrect animation with the correct vanilla animation for the weapon type

However, players can override vanilla animations through other actions (such as sprints or others)

Every time a weapon switches to trigger a bug, it should not be persistent. It can be easily broken and overwritten by non vanilla animations
