How to change a characters animation mid battle

[u lil nerd]

Hello, so I'm currently working on a character mod that features a new character with their own card series.  I was just wondering if it would be possible to change their animation, for example, Kashio has a glaive animation and flail animation, with a card I've created called "glaive_swap" can I change her animation from using the flail to the glaive mid battle with a card?  If so, how can I do that?

your card already exist in the game, and it's called kashio_glaive_swap.

You should look at data.zip/scripts/content/characters/npc_kashio.lua for more details.

Ah I see, I've already checked that card in npc_kashio but I missed that the animations are already part of med_combat_flail_kashio, so all I had to do was create an object that stores which and what animations to change ie, idle1 to idle2.  Thank you.  Would it be possible to change animations to a whole new zip?

I haven't had much luck trying to mix and match animations from multiple combat sets with overlapping anim names and weapons.

Hmmmm, there might be a function that allows you to change combat animation sets as most characters are compatible with different combat animations, and I doubt that they wouldn't have thought of this, so I'll be trying to find it after work today.  Let me know if you have any luck finding it as well!
