# animator-loop-range-invalid

> Talos next · Since 0.6

An animator state's or blend point's `loopStart`/`loopEnd` is outside 0..1, or `loopStart` is not below `loopEnd`, or the range is on a state that does not loop, a one-shot, a `clips` list, or at state level on a `blend` state (a tree takes it per point). Non-finite values are `animator-not-finite`.
