Custom idles?

[icantevenname]

This isn't important, but is it possible to give a modded character a custom idle animation(s)? Like the refreshed characters?

@icantevenname Yes.

Cool, any idea how? I'm sure I can find a tutorial on Spriter animation somewhere.

@icantevenname Nope.

guess like this:
inst.AnimState:AddOverrideBuild("wathgrithr_sing")
    inst.AnimState:AddOverrideBuild("player_idles_wathgrithr")
    inst.customidleanim = "idle_wathgrithr"
(see wigrfid game file)

So all I gotta do is make an Anim, name it something like "idle_character" and use customidleanim?

think so, try it

Okay, I cannot find a good tutorial for Spriter, as they all focus on bones and rigging, but the animations in DS/T don't use bones or things like that. Maybe I oughtta directly ask a modder who's done custom animations for the basics?

You don't need to use bones, but they do make life a bit easier, I recommend you use the player animation template made by default and try to decompile some animations to start with and edit from there. Animation is really a test a patience and is really time consuming.

Also what serpens has said is correct for adding them to a character. The stategraph funnyidle state will automatically pull the data from there.

Sounds like too much for me. Well, I hope someone finds this thread useful then.

Just search around the forums for something that can help you, or ask someone who you know has experience in working with the spriter.

I would start from this and de compiling existing animations to get the feel for it.

[icantevenname]

I think I made a mistake...

[IronHunter]

Just make sure to delete the .build and .tex from your custom animation once its compiled. As you want to replace them with your own symbol overrides and builds.
