SSE Make NPC Play Animation Help

[Maduck89]

Hi everyone. Im working on a mod and im trying to make it so several npcs dance (maybe a sequence of several animations) continuously on a switch activation. I want the dancing toggled on and off. Im kinda lost. im assuming a script is involved, but im not sure how to write it. Can i somehow use FNIS to make it work as well? Thanks.

So far i got this... Compiler says their is an error.

Scriptname DanceButtonScript extends ObjectReference

ActorBase property DancerRef1 auto

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)
Debug.SendAnimationEvent(DancerRef1, "kateanima00")
EndEvent

Which game?

Well, you can't send animation events like that, that's not how it works.

You want to be learning how to use PlayIdle.

For SSE

I got it working. it plays a single animation.

Scriptname aaDancerScript extends ObjectReference

import game

import debug

Actor property DancerRef1 auto

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)

Debug.SendAnimationEvent(DancerRef1, "DABRD")

EndEvent

How would i get it to play animations in sequence? (one after the first is finished)

int instanceID = mySFX.play(myNPC_Ref) ; play mySFX sound from myNPC_Ref

Sound.SetInstanceVolume(instanceID, 0.5) ; play at half volume
