Full Dump of all Animation Variables. : V

» Wed Jun 20, 2012 3:16 am

The following is a list that can be used with http://www.creationkit.com/SetAnimationVariableBool_-_ObjectReference, http://www.creationkit.com/SetAnimationVariableFloat_-_ObjectReference, http://www.creationkit.com/SetAnimationVariableInt_-_ObjectReference, http://www.creationkit.com/GetAnimationVariableBool_-_ObjectReference, http://www.creationkit.com/GetAnimationVariableFloat_-_ObjectReference, http://www.creationkit.com/GetAnimationVariableInt_-_ObjectReference . Almost every variable that is compatible with these function are un-documented. I will list all of them. I will also make an appropriate Wiki page for these. I've found these while looking at the 0_Master.hkx file.

Variable marked with an asterisk(*) need testing/confirmation.

yup, looks like the start of many things beautiful

good work. thank you.

WOW! so is there a GET command for theses? If there is this could give us a LOT of IF conditions such as IsBlocking that are NOT in the scripting language.

Also, how do you ZERO an ACTOR Variable:

Actor Target

;do stuff that puts a ref in Target

Target = false <--- this gave a compile error.
Target = 0 <--- this gave a compile error.

Nice to have such a list!

Do you guys see the directional block variables? Looks like Bethesda played with the idea of mimicking Mount & Blade's combat. Pretty cool, since that's what I'm going to try to do.

Excellent stuff. I can see all of this being very useful in the future.

;do stuff that puts a ref in Target

Target = false <--- this gave a compile error.
Target = 0 <--- this gave a compile error.

Have you tried None?

Actor Target;do stuff to assign value to TargetTarget = None

None is the string literal that represents a 0 value.

I just edited the post. There are GetAnimationVariables, too. I believe None is the string version of 0/false.

This is great. Thanks so much for these.

Yes thank you that worked!

for pet sake...

x == 0		   works for some but not others...x == false	   works for some but not others...x == none	  works for some but not others...!x				  works for some but not others...

Why could they not just pick ONE way to do this. :wacko:

(Oblivion it was always just x == 0 )

I guess I can understand the differences between x == 0 and x == false but seriously x == none and x == 0 is just annoying.

Strictly speaking, those are all very different things.
The logic behind this has to do with types and the fact that a string is not a number nor an actor.

You would use (x == 0) when you are doing loops or anything that should approach 0.
Or anytime where x is meant to be a number.

(x == None) is pretty much an object that hasnt been set.

(x == false) however is set. Here x can be true or false, only those values. For example when you check whether someone has been hit, or is standing in water or whatever.

!x should work only on booleans. It should be the same thing as x == false.

This may seem assbackwards in many ways but it is set up this way to differentiate between values that in many ways are very different.
It matters if a value is a boolean or a number.
It matters if a value has never been assigned or if it is set to false. In one case it doesn't exist and existence is important..

the == operator is used to test equality in a if condition

the "none" value is used in case of objects of ObjectReference types and extended from, like actors

it is the default value of an object reference when it has not been affected yet to an

let's say you have a variable Actor called ref1.

Actor ref1 = none ;used to initialise the variable, ref1 doesn't point to any object in the memory
..
; let's imagine you want to deal with the first actor around but not sure there's one.

ref1 = MyFunctionToFindTheNearestActor() ; if not found the funcion would return none

if(ref1 ==none)
debug.Trace("no actor around")
else
debug.Trace("actor found")
endif

Hope this helped you

I just want to drop a few things...

1. Most of the unknown variables are used in conjunction with animations. They're mostly used to know what state the actor is in, pretty much to determine what actions are available in that particular state. They are pretty self-explanatory, aside from some (like female offset)

2. mlh_ready and mrh_ready and a bunch of stuff in "Bools" part is also used for the same thing. For example, bIsRiding determines whether the game should play the "horse moving" or "player moving"

In order to better understand what these variable means, you also need to refer to Gameplay > Idle Animations > meshes/actors/character/behaviors/0_master.hkx. That particular entry lists all possible actions character actors can perform, the conditions (if there is one), and what event is called when calling that action.

I've added this to the Creation Kit Wiki: http://www.creationkit.com/Full_dump_of_all_GetAnimationVariableX_%28%29_by_Moopus_Maximus

» Wed Jun 20, 2012 1:45 pm

I only messed around with the get/set animation variable functions a little bit, and that was a while ago. I think I remember that the iStateXXX variables worked like this:

Actor Player = Game.GetPlayer()Int iState = Player.GetAnimationVariableInt("iState")if (Player.GetAnimationVariableInt("iState_NPCDefault") == iState)    ;Player is in default stateelseif (Player.GetAnimationVariableInt("iState_NPCSprinting") == iState)    ;Player is sprintingelseif (Player.GetAnimationVariableInt("iState_NPCBlocking") == iState)    ;Player is blocking;etc.

I also think the "iRegularAttack" variable showed whether or not the attack was going right to left, or vice versa.

» Wed Jun 20, 2012 5:31 pm

What really svcks is that they didn't document these at all. We don't even know what some of them do! I really wished Bethesda didn't use Havok for their animations system, it has only caused trouble and frustration.

» Wed Jun 20, 2012 1:54 pm

So can someone clarify, what can you do with this? It looks like you can check to see if NPCs are in the middle of certain animations which could be useful, but by setting something like that sneaking boolean, would the actor really be sneaking or just move around like they are sneaking? IE, would it impact the ability of other actors to detect that actor?

Basically it's another set of "conditions" you can use to help craft your mod. Sometimes a condition like "IsSneaking" isn't accurate enough for what you want to do, so using these animation variables helps you tune in your mod to test if an actor is doing a certain thing, then you call your function.

Also if I am not mistaken, you can sort of "drive" the player around with an animation to help simulate a cut scene.

IE, would it impact the ability of other actors to detect that actor?

For e.g. Game.GetPlayer ().GetAnimationVariableBool ("bIsRiding") is the only way to detect whether the player is sitting on a horse or not.
Also I've used Game.GetPlayer ().GetAnimationVariableBool ("bAnimationDriven") to detect if the player's controls are locked during the crafting/enchanting scenes.
I couldn't use the normal way of detecting whether the camera and controls were locked or not. In those scenes, Game.IsCamSwitchControlsEnabled () is False (as expected) for all crafting/enchanting screens EXCEPT for the tanning hide. And IsActivateControlsEnable (), IsFightingControlsEnabled (), IsJournalControlsEnabled (), IsLookingControlsEnabled (), IsMenuControlsEnabled (), IsMovementControlsEnabled (), IsSneakingControlsEnabled () were mostly TRUE - which is a bug!!!

Basically, GetAnimationVariableX () is, at the moment, the most accurate method in detecting the state of an actor.
