Advice adding new animations

[therealgingy]

I'm working on a mod that the goal is to add a fully funtional pump action shotgun, but I'm having trouble with animations and some related issues. I just need to know if it's possible to add new reload animations to the game and if there is a way, a brief explanation of what I need to do so. Please let any and all responses be realistic and actually possible, I've been told on the creation kit forums that new animations are a no go, but I don't believe that to be true.

You can replace the existant animations but you can't add new ones with the CK. And it doesn't matter what you believe that's a FACT, you CAN'T.

 

Anyway there's mods in skyrim that uses the SKSE to add new anims in the game, i suggest you to look those mods and try to emulate them but with F4SE, but idk if you can atm, and i assure you it won't be easy.

would it be possible to duplicate an existing animation and just rename it, or would it still replace all instances of the animation?

You can duplicate the behaviors (hkx) but when you want to select an animation there's a anim event list that you cannot add new anims to that list so at the end it leads to nothing.

Open the CK and at top in "gameplay" you can see the anim window, open it and you'll see what i mean.

 

I was interested in adding some animations too to be able to seat in the VBird pilot seat (since there's an animation for npcs but not for the player) and i end up in a dead end with this video and nothing more but questions ad trying reverse-engineer elysees mods

 

So yea, as said you can't add them with the CK but i'm sure you can add anims to the game but the point is that idk how, idk if it's possible atm and for sure it's not easy.
