Animation play Command

[Skull5]

Does anyone know the command to play an animation, and how to find animations in the files with the appropriate build, sg, and bank already there? I'm using a mod to play as a depth dweller, and I would like to go invisible, uninvisible, and then play the command of it coming down from the ceiling.

Look into stategraphs folder. All animations are listed there and if builds are being switched you will see that in the code.

I've looked into SGspider.lua for you, and the animation you're looking for is called "enter".

To force playing an animation, you need to be an admin and if you're the host, type in the console:

ThePlayer.AnimState:PlayAnimation("enter", false)

(the false/true at the end is for looping. If you want the animation to loop, put 'true' in there instead of 'false')

You could also just force the stategraph to go into this state. To do that, if you're the host, write:

ThePlayer.sg:GoToState("dropper_enter")

If you're an admin but you're not hosting or are hosting a dedicated server, then you either need to type your AllPlayers player number instead of ThePlayer or find yourself through the prefab name, or use the command to get entity under mouse while you're hovering over...

I haven't toyed with things like these because I rarely screw around with commands like that, so I can't say exactly, but uncle google should be able tell you better anyways.

Edit: Also, not 100% sure if anims/stategraphs aren't changed in that mod, so there's a chance things I've written won't work.

Is there a way to make animations play backwards? By the way, thanks for your help, never would have got this done without you. Now I can live my dreams of being a depths dweller.

To my knowledge, there's no way to do that (maybe somebody will prove me wrong).

If you want to be invisible/hidden, you could always switch to build/bank that doesn't exist and switch back when you want to be visible...

To do that, type:

ThePlayer.AnimState:SetBank("nonexistantbank")

Now you're invisible.

ThePlayer.AnimState:SetBank("spider")

Now you're visible again.

You could toy with the anim changing/switching banks to get the effect you need.

My friend, (we are both testing out things) Wanted to know if sound could be played alongside the command as a type of "state" command.

[PanAzej]

Well, by forcing stategraph with the command I mentioned in my first post, the sound should play on its own.

Though, if you want to force it to play manually, type:

ThePlayer.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/creatures/spider/descend")

Btw, you can hide yourself and your shadow using ThePlayer:Hide() and ThePlayer:Show()

This might interfere with things like combat, be wary.
