The exact looping behavior and bugs ought to be clarified more if anyone feels like testing that.

If an [[Animation]] has PingPong= set to "yes" the game will play the Animation forward tell it reaches the number of frames as defined by [[LoopEnd]]. Once it has reached the [[LoopEnd]]. It will make the [[Animation]] play backwards from [[LoopEnd]] to [[LoopStart]]. If the [[Animation]] has [[LoopCount]] set to "-1" known as "infinite looping". It will repeat a cycle of playing the [[Animation]] backward and forwards.
This flag specifies whether an [[animation]] should reverse after completing a loop. If {{f|PingPong|yes}}, the animation will play forward until it reaches the [[frame]] defined by {{f|LoopEnd|link}}. It will then play backwards from {{f|LoopEnd}} to {{f|LoopStart|link}}. If {{f|LoopCount|-1|link}} (infinite loop), the animation will repeat a cycle of playing backward and forward.


Note: PingPong is a bugged key. It causes the game to become confused when the [[Animation]] has damage frames. The Tiberian Sun GDI Radar disk has this bug. The damaged radar disk [[Animation]] will jump between frames and once the GDI Radar is fully repaired it will continue to play the damaged radar disk [[Animation]].

Values: Boolean values: yes or no, true or false, 1 or 0
Default: no
Applicable to: Animations


This flag specifies whether an animation should reverse after completing a loop. If PingPong=yes, the animation will play forward until it reaches the frame defined by LoopEnd. It will then play backwards from LoopEnd to LoopStart. If LoopCount=-1 (infinite loop), the animation will repeat a cycle of playing backward and forward.

Bugs/Side-Effects/Unexpected Limitations

PingPong is a bugged key. It causes the game to become confused when the animation has damage frames. The Tiberian Sun GDI Radar has this bug. The damaged radar dish animation will jump between frames and once the GDI Radar is fully repaired it will continue to play the damaged radar dish animation.
