Description

Starts the looping animation simple name _Animation on _CHARACTER.

Notes
  • We have a list of simple names of character animations and the playable races they are available to.
  • An ongoing animation override can be removed by specifying "" as _Animation.
  • Playing a regular animation, e.g. using PlayAnimation, will also remove an animation override.
  • Making a character do anything via Osiris, such as looking at someone/something or moving around, will also remove an animation override. Note that unless specified otherwise, by default a character will look at any person that starts talking to them.
  • In practice, it is very hard to keep an animation override going for characters that are interacted with. If possible, use a status instead, as these will not be removed so easily.
