So I've been working on my game in Unreal but wanted to make my full prototype in EFPSE. One problem I currently have is that when I define my character to FLEE after being hurt or attacking, they tend to FLEE for a random period of time. I need them to only FLEE for a second and then go back to CHASE. Does anyone have any experience in this and what is the fix to make sure a state only lasts but so long as defined?

state IDLE NONE 0
frameset 0 0 0.5 0 0 0 NONE
frame 1 0.5 0 0 0 READY
state SEE CHASE 0
frameset 2 4 0.1 0 0 0 NONE
frame 5 0.1 0 0 0 READY
state CHASE NONE 0
frameset 6 8 0.125 0 0 0 NONE
frame 9 0.125 0 0 0 READY
state ATTACK FLEE 0
frame 10 0.1 0 0 0 NONE
frame 11 0.1 0 0 0 ATTACK
frame 12 0.1 0 0 0 NONE
frame 13 0.1 0 0 0 READY
state FLEE CHASE 0
frameset 18 20 0.1 0 0 0 NONE
frame 21 0.1 0 0 0 READY
state HURT FLEE 0
frameset 14 16 0.1 0 0 0 NONE
frame 17 0.1 0 0 0 READY
state DEATH DEAD 0
frameset 22 25 0.11 0 0 0 READY
state DEAD NONE 0
frame 25 1 0 0 0 NONE
The problem is when they go to flee from being hurt, the enter chase and start ping ponging around and not even at the player. It looks like it trying to flee and chase at the same time, which isn't desired.
> IMPORTANT
The first line of any given state should always be NONE as this line is simply ignored due to am ongoing bug. By using NONE on the first line you cab circumvent this bug allowing the rest of your states to function as expected.
In your case you've used frameset instead of single frame, which isn't correct.
I messed with it a bit before sharing. I did change the last DEATH state to ready even though I know that's not correct. I was seeing what it would do and forgot to change it back before posting. I was just testing what I didn't try before posting. As for the frameset, I was told this could also work and seemed more streamlined so I had no inclination that would be an issue. I'll do it frame by frame and make sure all first frames are NONE and see if it persists.
