How to make NPCs play animations (idle) when he is dead? : V

Hello everybody! Just want to warn - use Google translator.

Right to the point. How to make NPCs play animations (idle) when he is dead?

The idea is this - I created a ghost, and when he dies - he should play standard animations (idle). If you can, tell me the script.

Thank you!

You can start an animation like this:


Debug.SendAnimationEvent( actorTarget, "IdlePlayer" )

In CreationKit, you can see the animations that can be called via their "Anim Event" name under Gameplay->Animations.

That said, the idea you are working on sounds like it will require more than just starting the idle animation to make it work properly.

You could use StartDeferredKill(Actor), and then once their Health is <= 0, start your Animation; that's how I handled Vampire "death animations" in my Mod--it's not 100% perfect, but it might be a starting point for your goal
