Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Mods Using gestures outside of dialogue

Is it possible to trigger a gesture outside of dialogue? For instance have a character say something using character display text and then point at someone.

I looked through the story commands but didn't see anything.

Try this:

Sorry, but this mostly went over my head. I tried it as-is and it wouldn't compile. I tried including these bits after a trigger based IF statement:


CharacterLookAt(_Player)
CharacterPlayAnimation("use_activate")
SetPriority(Point, 0)

The NPC did turn to look at my character but the rest didn't seem to execute. Where did you get "use_activate"? I tried a couple of different scripts from Resource Manager but they didn't fire either.

Thanks for helping me get him to look. That's a start.

**Edit: I wasn't paying attention to the syntax clues in the story editor. CharacterPlayerAnimation worked once I had it formed properly.

Thanks

That should be put into the characters behavior script (Public\%modName%\Scripts\%name%.charScript) and not into the story scripts.

If you're looking for a way to do this in story scripts:

If you want other animations have a look at Public\Main\ActionTemplates\playerActionTemplates.lsb.

Or better yet: In the game editor, place the character you want to animate, select it and in the sidebar hit VisualSet. In the upcoming panel you can play any animation for that character and get the name.

Thanks!

As Norbyte indicated CharacterPlayAnimation exists as both a command (object scripting) and a call (story scripting). In the wiki I've created disambiguation pages for any command that exists in more than one of the scripting languages.
