Std Motion Play

Signature

void stdmotionplay(int motionId); //id:0x011d

Description

Plays a standard motion of a character (current script).

The motion differs based on the motion group that was assigned to the character via the Std Motion Read function.

Arguments

Motion Identifier

The identifier of the motion that will be played. Usually, it's OR'ed by 0x01000000 before passing it as an argument as that leads to a list of animation identifiers that are generally used.

However, you can also just pass an animation identifier. In that case, the identifier will be OR'ed by 0x1000 and then again by x << 20 where as x is an unknown state of the current script. The latter is almost always 0, so it should be mostly safe to ignore it.

Depending on the character's motion group, the played animation may be different. For example, one motion group may contain animations for battle (e.g. attack) while another contains animations used in towns (e.g. talking). Some are even completely unique to a character model.

Here is a list of which motion identifiers translate to which animation identifiers and which of those result in which animation.

Motion Id	Animation Id	Town Anim Name	Battle Anim Name
0x01000000	0x1001	Idle	Idle
0x01000001	0x1001	Idle	Idle
0x01000002	0x101A	Interaction	?
0x01000003	0x1018	Left Leading Legs & Feet Wiggle	Left Foot Leading Walk
0x01000004	0x1019	Right Leading Legs & Feet Wiggle	Right Foot Leading Walk
0x01000005	0x1009	?	Magick Cast Ready
0x01000006	0x100A	?	Magick Cast Start
0x01000007	0x403D	?	Attack
0x01000008	0x101C	?	?
0x01000009	0x301B	Object Touch	Object Touch
0x0100000A	0x1008	?	Death
0x0100000B	0x1049	?	?
0x0100000C	0x3001	?	?
0x0100000D	0x4001	?	?
0x0100000E	0x4036	?	Battle End
0x0100000F	0x4035	?	Battle Start
0x01000010	0x401E	Happy	?
0x01000011	0x401F	Angry	?
0x01000012	0x4020	Sad	?
0x01000013	0x4021	Laugh	?
0x01000014	0x4022	Accept	?
0x01000015	0x4023	Decline	?
0x01000016	0x4024	Conversation	?
0x01000017	0x1011	?	Magick Cast Ready
0x01000018	0x1012	?	Magick Cast Start
0x01000019	0x1013	Lift Left Hand	Magick Cast End
0x0100001A	0x1014	?	Damaged
0x0100001B	0x1015	?	Item
0x0100001C	0x104A	?	Attack
0x0100001D	0x302F	?	?

So if you want a character to play their item use animation, you can either use stdmotionplay(0x0100001B), stdmotionplay(0x15) or stdmotionplay(0x1015).

There are several more animations available, but not all of them are known, so you will have to find them yourself via trial and error.

Notes

Do NOT use a motion identifier outside of the usual range (0x01000000 -> 0x0100001D), as that will result in an animation identifier being retrieved that isn't even in the predefined list (whatever value is next in static memory).

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.
