Need help finding an animation. : Fallout 3

» Thu Jul 22, 2010 1:38 am

I'm at the part where the player is going to blow something up with a detonator, but they have to wait for the npc's in the area to get to a safe spot. So I am having the NPc you talk to exit conversation, and then face a certain direction and yell "Everyone get over here and take cover!" Or something to that effect. I need to know if theres an animation I can play when he yells that either of him cupping his hands around his mouth, or waving his arms like he is beckoning them to come over. Also I need to know what commands I would use to do this. Would I just select it as an idle in the start of package thing, or would these not be considered idles? Thanks to anyone who can help.

Have you gone and looked through the Idles and done the thing where they can be modeled for you by an NPC you choose? I know that Burke beckons the player with an Idle just like you are asking for, except that it's a little lazy and he is sitting. I'd suggest you go look through the Idles and see if there is one you want. I go to Packages and go to the Idles Tab and "shop" for Idles there.

I did just look at animation objects, and furniture markers but that cant be all the animations I can pick from. Thanks to anyone who can help.

There's several animations like that. It can be a pain to view them sometimes. You click 'gameplay' and then click 'idle animations' and then many interesting ones live in the area where you click the + next to "LOOSE" on the left.

Ok thats helpful. I'm still not getting exactly what I want though... the LooseCallforHelpA is sort of what I wanted, but its way to fast and desparate looking. I am going to try Loose2hrLoiteronehanded so he rests his gun on his hip and calls for everyone to come over. I will keep looking though, if any of you happen to come upon one you think would work let me know. What Mr. Burke does, but standing, would be perfect. Or the hands cupped around the mouth would work too. But what I have now will be ok if I cant find anything like that. Thanks guys.
