Motion Play
Signature
Description
Plays a custom motion of a character (current script).
Arguments
Flags: Motion Group Identifier
The group of the motion that will be played. Before calling this function, the motion group must be loaded via the Motion Read function first.
Flags: Motion Identifier
The motion that will be played.
Flags: Unknown 1
This argument should always be set to 1, otherwise this function will just return. Otherwise it serves no purpose.
Notes
Some motions are looped (e.g. idling) while others aren't (e.g. laughing). So to avoid the character from freezing at the last frame of the animation, it's important to either play a non-looped animation in a loop via your code or play a looped animation like idling after a non-looped one. You can do the latter either manually or automatically via the Set Auto Relax function.
If a character is already playing a motion, it will be cancelled before playing the new one.
Depending on an unknown state of the current script, this function may just return.
Technically, all motions that can be played with the Std Motion Play function, can also be played with this one. However, I would still recommend using both for the reasons they were created in order to avoid confusion and the like.
