"Random Anim Start" Whats that?

[ObLars]

Well, on a lot of furniture and some other stuff there is this "Random Anim Start" which i cant figure out what it is. Whats it for? :)

 

Also, how can i get my character to put his elbows on the table? Like on some bar stools? Im currently using a office chair, very close to a table, and my character won't use the table anims. Any help?

I'm pretty sure it's so that if you have, say, 5 differen't NPCs all sitting around, they aren't all doing the same thing in sync, looking like choreographed dancers or robots.

Ahh. So pretty much if i check Random Anim start for say.. 3 chairs in the same room, the game engine records all the 3 actors idle animations, and makes them do different things? To prevent sync behaviour?

Seems as good a way to think of it as any.

:) Now, do you know how to get the idle anims while sitting in chairs/stools? Im using a Office Chair, its placed right next to a table, and i want my character (And other NPCS) to use anims with the table. I.e putting their elbows on it .

As I recall it depends what kind of chair you pick, but I could be wrong about that.
