i was wondering if there was a console command/ script that could
make npc's and the character do specific animations.

Yes, you can use the command http://cs.elderscrolls.com/index.php/PlayGroup, followed by the http://cs.elderscrolls.com/index.php/AnimGroups and any flags you want to use (see playgroup page).

For example; bring up the console, click on the NPC so his ID shows at the top of the screen, type in playgroup attackbow 1 and the NPC should go into bow ready anim.

Commands can be used in scripts along with the NPC ref ID's.

thanks, this helps alot
