Entity Animations are laggy/stuttering

[Benn20002]

Hello Facepunch, I have an issue with the animations of my entities.
They are laggy/stuttering

https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/185765/f8dee5c2-903c-4d28-a875-710bb00d1ab9/2019-02-16 20-59-17.mp4

This is the code of the entity:

cl_init.lua
include("shared.lua")

function ENT:DrawTranslucent()
self:DrawModel()

// SOME 3D2D Stuff
end

init.lua
AddCSLuaFile("cl_init.lua")
AddCSLuaFile("shared.lua")
include("shared.lua")

function ENT:Initialize()
self:SetModel(self.Model)
self:PhysicsInit(SOLID_VPHYSICS)
self:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_NONE)
self:SetUseType(SIMPLE_USE)

local phys = self:GetPhysicsObject()
phys:EnableMotion(false)
phys:SetMass(500)

GAMEMODE.PDRaid.BankEntity = self

self:ResetSequence("open")
end

function ENT:Use(ply)
self:ResetSequence("close")
end

function ENT:Think()
if GAMEMODE.PDRaid.BankEntity != self then
GAMEMODE.PDRaid.BankEntity = self
end
/*
self:NextThink(CurTime() + .5)
return true
*/
end

shared.lua
ENT.Type = "anim"
ENT.Base = "base_gmodentity"

ENT.Category = "Sonstiges"
ENT.PrintName = "Staatsbank"
ENT.Spawnable = true
ENT.RenderGroup = RENDERGROUP_BOTH
ENT.AutomaticFrameAdvance = true

ENT.Model = Model("models/safe/safe.mdl")

function ENT:SetupDataTables()
  self:NetworkVar("String",0,"CurCode")
end

This is due to self:NextThink(CurTime() + .5)
Maybe there's a way to ignore that. But when I test my model animation problem was the same

[Benn20002]

Its commented out as I already had that suggestion.
Its better without it but not fixed.

Have you try to remove AutomaticFrameAdvance
or
Try add DEFINE_BASECLASS("base_anim")
or
Try use self:SetSequence(self:LookupSequence( "close" )) instead

[Benn20002]

That causes the animation to not play at all.

Doesnt help, even if I replace

ENT.Base = "base_gmodentity"
with
ENT.Base = "base_anim"

Doesnt work at all, self:ResetSequence(self:LookupSequence( "close" )) gives same result

You must have AutomaticFrameAdvance set to true, and NextThink must be set to CurTIme() every frame.

That's what my issue was, thanks alot!
