playAnim isn't suitable for use by map scripts, so they have no tool to use. It's the internal mechanism used by Actor AnimState script objects to start anims, and it relies on the state scripts to set up the required blend frames, and to prevent different anims from clashing. The anim state scripts can also be completely borked (as reported above) by anything else calling playAnim, which they don't expect. So "playAnim" needs to be marked "Do not use. Use XXX instead." in its documentation, and a new script event is needed for main map scripts to use. That script event can use the _CustomAnim states tweaked in 0003800, either directly or by pushing a Task, whichever restores previous state easier. |

Scripted animation sequences probably want more functionality adding, but I've added a new script event to fix the issues on this tracker: playCustomAnim("anim name"); which can be used on AI. It supports only whole-body animations, i.e. torso and legs. A walking AI will stop walking to play the anim. It fixes the test cases in the attached map (thanks for that). The woman resumes patrolling after kneeling, and the man doesn't get interrupted. It uses the AI task system, so hopefully won't clash with the existing setup. Not committed yet. I need to test it with fighting and chasing AI. |

It works ok with hostile civilians (fleeing). They kneel, while still complaining vocally about the scary intruder, then resume fleeing. Searching, chasing, and fighting AI are ok too. They kneel, then resume what they were doing. KO'd and dead AI need a further fix. They play the anim but on the wrists and ankles only, which looks creepy. |

The script event now only works on conscious AI. Committed at rev 6533 /trunk/game/Actor.cpp /trunk/game/ai/AI.cpp /trunk/game/ai/AI.h /trunk/game/ai/AI_events.cpp |
