PlayGroup
Revision as of 20:33, 20 July 2007 by imported>DragoonWraith (typo)
Syntax:
PlayGroup <GroupName> <flags>
Example:
PlayGroup Forward PlayGroup Forward 1
Plays the animation group defined by <GroupName>. The valid <GroupName> parameters can be found in the TESCS, in the animation tab under AnimGroup of any NPC.
Optional flags can be used to start the group in different ways.
Flags
- 0 = Normal - The current animation will finish it's full cycle, and the new animation will start from its beginning.
- 1 = Immediate Start - The current animation will stop regardless of the frame it is on, and the new animation will start from its beginning.
- 2 = Immediate Loop -The current animation will stop regardless of the frame it is on, and the new animation will start at the beginning of its loop cycle.
Notes:
- Playing some animations on the Player can cause the Player to freeze and become nonresponsive. Using PlayGroup Idle, 1 or PickIdle on the Player will return the Player to normal user function.
- NPC's may behave oddly after PlayGroup is called - for instance, running backwards, walking through solid objects, being unable to attack, etc. Calling playGroup Idle 1 generally fixes the problem.
- Note that some animation groups are only available under certain conditions. In particular, combat animations like Recoil, Stagger, etc will only be played if the actor has a weapon drawn.
