Custom Animation State Won't Switch to Walking

[Zech]

I'm trying to make a second wait animation state. As you can see, after it plays the first wait animation (which only lasts 1 second), it plays the second one. For some reason when I move while the second state is active, it doesn't change to walking/running. However, it does change when I jump or when I fall off an edge.

--he "dies" after being afk for too long

--creates the slots for the laying animation and the laying sprites
freeslot (
"S_PLAY_LAYING", "SPR2_LAYI"
)

states[S_PLAY_LAYING] = {
        sprite = SPR_PLAY,
        frame = SPR2_LAYI,
        --loops forever
        tics = -1,
        --since it loops forever it doesn't need a next state (this line might be removable idk)
        nextstate = S_NULL
}

--modified wait animation
states[S_PLAY_WAIT] = {
        sprite = SPR_PLAY,
        --FF_ANIMATE simply means it animates
        frame = SPR2_WAIT|FF_ANIMATE,
        --30 seconds
        tics = 15,
        var1 = 0,
        --tics between frames
        var2 = 16,
        --switches to the laying state after 30 seconds (1050 tics)
        nextstate = S_PLAY_LAYING
}
