You are not specifying a custom clock value so your spline lasts from
frames 1 to 121. You actually want to specify a custom clock value.
Something like this:
animate_by_spline (east_to_south, auto_banking (0) + spline_clock
( ..... ) )}
The "....." needs to be replaced with an equation that is 0 at the
start of the keyframe sequence and 1 at the end of it. The equation
would look like this (it always takes me a few minutes to figure this
out... I should be able to do this in my sleep I've done it so many
times):
( current_frame - sequence_start_frame ) / ( sequence_end_frame -
sequence_start_frame )
For the sequence 1-60:
(current_frame-1)/59
And this for 61-121:
(current_frame-61)/60
Ironically, as part of my dancing mech tutorial, I've actually got a
few scripts that create spline keyframes like this really easy. But
you'll have to wait for me to get that far. It isn't ready for
public use yet.
You may want to use switch and range statements instead of the if:
#switch ( frame_number )
#range (1,60)
.......
#break
#range (60,121)
.......
#break
#end
