Weird Weapon Animation Problem

[TubeJuice]

Hello,

I've created a custom weapon and all works well except the secondary fire animation. I can't seem to change the rate at which it plays, which is currently very, very slow. I even tried redoing the animation with some extra "dummy" frames, and the new animation played even more slowly. Is there any way to change the rate at which a firing animation plays?

It should be noted that this weapon is a charging weapon. When the alternate fire button is hit, it powers up for 1.875 seconds before actually firing a projectile. Could that be the problem?

Here is the code for the alternate fire in case anyone can help with it.

simulated state AltFire
{
	function FireWeapon()
	{
		PlayFiringSound();
		ConsumeAmmo(CurrentFireMode);
		WeaponPlaySound(SoundCue'WP_FusionCannon.Sounds.FUSIONBlastCue');
		if ( !Instigator.IsLocallyControlled() )
		{
			ClientHasFired();
		}
		GotoState('WeaponRecharge');
	}

	simulated function bool TryPutdown()
	{
		bWeaponPutDown = true;
		return true;
	}

	function BeginState(Name PreviousStateName)
	{
		local UTPawn POwner;
		local UTAttachment_FusionCannon Attachment;	

		POwner = UTPawn(Instigator);
		if (POwner != None)
		{
			Attachment = UTAttachment_FusionCannon(POwner.CurrentWeaponAttachment);
			if(Attachment != none)
			{
				Attachment.StartCharging();
			}
		}

		PowerupSystem.ActivateSystem();
		PlayWeaponAnimation(PowerupAnim, PowerupTime);
		WeaponIdleAnims[1] = PowerupAnim;
		WeaponPlaySound(SoundCue'WP_FusionCannon.Sounds.FusePowerupCue');
	}
Begin:
	sleep(1.875);
	DestroyEmitters();
	FireWeapon();
}

		GoToState('WeaponCoolDown');
	}
