Just to clarify a bit more--during combat, there are two things controlling the AI: movement and attacks. The leg channel is controlled by the AI's need to move within range of the player, and the torso channel is controlled by the attack/block code. Our run animation has the AI lean forward quite a bit, so when the legs cause the AI to run at the same time the torso is swinging, the AI winds up bending down and head-butting the player. I fixed this once by putting leg channel overrides in the combat frame commands--this meant that when the AI started his combat swing on the torso, the legs would stop running for a moment. It looked fine and didn't create any serious exploits. IIRC, the 2.03 changes to animations made leg overrides not work anymore, so this issue will need to be solved in a different way when animation is reworked for 2.04. |

I can't remember why the leg overrides don't work anymore, but another option is to just re-enable that function? Seems like the ability to override a particular channel on a particular frame will always be useful. |

I'm reluctant to mess with animation overrides again in 2.04 after the grief it gave us in 2.03. So much grief that grayman and I decided to work on a new simplified animation system, but that hasn't happened yet. I'll bump this to 2.05. |
