Hi!
There are a few old posts with simmilar problems, (Ive seen others with simmilar topic beimg marked as solved so if you have not come across them already have a look around) if you search the forum. Maybe they will help.
Otherwise maybe you could post pictures of your states as it seems its mostly setup issues in other topics (such as looping back into itself and such or not ticking every frame).
Im just a noob, but im thinking since you had to bump the thread further info may help the experts diagnose the issue.
Good luck with the investigation!
(Edit: Just noticed that it was not the OP who bumped the thread, but still post some pics, it my help you.)
