Idles and behaviours - Fallout New Vegas 1

14/06/2016 - Instead that correct the issues and make an update, I rewrote the entire plugin from scratch. So, THIS VERSION WILL BE DEPRECATED.
The new version can be found at this link: http://www.loverslab.com/files/file/2973-behaviours-fonv-idles-run-headtracking-etc/

 

---------------------------------------------
Idles and behaviours - W.I.P.
---------------------------------------------

 

This is my attempt to bring some more life to my character.
The idles trigger on their own following certain conditions.
There's a MCM which allows to enable / disable the ones we don't like and some other categories.
Some functions inside the MCM won't work (you click and nothing happens) because I ripped the code before the upload. This because the idles are just a small part of a bigger project, but in the meantime I wanted to see if the idles are appreciated and if they work fine with other people.
I tweaked every file to reach my goals (idle + movement together), but I'm using this as reference. I never tested with vanilla walk, but since vanilla is less animated, it should even give less problems.
THE IDLES ARE MADE FOR FEM CHARACTERS: however, you can play them as male character too. The mod tricks you because when you load the game as female it will automatically enable the idles, vice-versa as male it will disable them. But all you need is going on the MCM and re-enable them, if you want.

 

Actions are another thing I'm trying to script. Actually they are not enabled in the ESP, the only one is "Pinching the pipboy": when you are in third person, instead of opening the pipboy you will trigger an animation, and it will open only at the end of it (see second video on bottom of the page)

 

I ADMIT IT IS A PREMATURE UPLOAD, but I don't deny I would love some feedback and that's why I'm putting it online.

My ingame escape plan
--------------------------------------

 

The idles have some main conditions. First person won't work. Sneaking won't work. So, one of these two conditions can be used as your ingame fast escape plan when you're tired of them. OR simply disable them on the MCM Also, in combat they won't work. IsRunning: only 6 of the 21 general idles will work, the ones which are less invasive, you won't have any issues with them.
Last, equipping or unequipping a weapon should break momentary their execution.

 

-------------------------------------------
Few more in-depth details
-------------------------------------------
Between an idle and another, there's a certain delay before the engine will pick a new one. The time is == to the delay you set on MCM (10 seconds default) + 1-6 second/s, after that it will have a window of 3 seconds to pick an idle. If the previous animation is still running and the timer expires, it will await the next cicle.
Every idle has a certain percentage to trigger, tweaked with my taste. This means that you could even not see a certain idle for a long time. The priority is, as always in vanilla, from top to bottom, it means the first idles will have more probability to trigger anyway.

 

> Primary Needs animations
They trigger only in Hardcore mode. Hunger triggers a stomach ache animation, sleep deprivation triggers a rubbing eyes animation. There are 4 stages of hunger and 4 of sleep deprivation, which correspond to more probability to trigger these animations.
When triggered, these animations won't allow the player to attack and move. They least very little time, but it's good to know.

 

> Hit animations
They have their own group and it can be activated via MCM. They trigger an animation under certain conditions of the player, of her injuries. If one of the two legs is broken, they won't work anymore.
--- Hit Head: < 60% head condition
--- Hit Leg: <60% mobility (3 different idles, for left and right leg condition) - THEY WILL STOP YOU FROM MOVING
--- Hit Torso: <60% torso condition
--- Pain: two different cry animations when the health is < 25%

 

> Standing Idles
--- No walk
No walk idles will trigger when the player is not moving. Also, they have a low priority, so if you move they will interrupt momentary, then they will continue if you stop (if they were still running, of course)
------ Swat
------ Hands on Hips
------ Hands Behind
------ Single Hand on Hip
------ Crossed Arms custom 01
------ Breathing

 

--- Walk
Walk idles will trigger if the player is moving. THEY WON'T TRIGGER IF THE PLAYER IS RUNNING. IsRunning condition doesn't mean if you are actually running... it means if you have Caps Lock inserted (so if you would move, you would run), or if you have Caps Lock not inserted but you are holding the Shift key.
TL;DR if you are walking, you will trigger these ones. Also, due to the tweaked priority, they will continue even if you move, i.e. you can smoke a cigarette while walking etc.etc.
------ (16 different idles)
------ The only 2 ones which have different conditions are Smoking (it wants Cigarette or Packet of cigarette in inventory, it won't work with Carton of cigarette) and Scared (it can trigger in the wastes - not interiors - from 22 PM to 5 AM - idle and priority tested, not the condition itself.

W.I.P.
----------

 

This is a W.I.P. , the idles are just a small part of what I'm trying to achieve. Here's a video that shows a couple more idles (not interesting) and introduces Actions. The "pinching the pipboy" is already active in the ESP I uploaded, you can disable it via MCM if it annoys you. The other scripts should be disabled.

The nice part of this is it doesn't touch vanilla, so it doesn't create incompatibilities or potential conflicts with other mods.
I don't have a long time to script and test this, and due to the original approach of the scripting I can't really foresee unexpected results, that's why I won't upload these Actions until they will be tested properly.
