Gani params (New engine)

[ChibiChibiLuc]

Alright, I have a gani that's mean't to show text, which is read from params[0].
The problem is, it thinks params[0] is blank.

This is the part of the gani that shows the text:
this.text = params[0];
showtext2(30,x+2,y+.5,this.zed,"Times New Roman","c","Param: " @ this.text);

This is the script that shows the gani:
showani(40,player.x,player.y,0,"effect-floatingtext","Asdf");


I've tried both #p(0) and params[0]. Both read as blank.
I've tried more than one param, didn't work.
It's not conflicting commands in either the gani or the NPC.

I've also managed to do this before with the new engine, so it's not impossible.

Can anyone tell me why the gani won't read params[0]?
