Is it possible to cycle through animations installed?

[Ivan21545]

So I've installed various SLAL animation packs.  I understand that you need another mod to "trigger" the animation event.  Is there any mod that simply allows a cycling of the animations in the various packs?  Perhaps through a spell or something, much in the way the poser mods do?

 

FNIS spells allows the choosing of various animations, but those are, of course, not SLAL.

 

Am I making sense?

Sexlab itself has a hotkey listed in the hotkey section for changing animations.  If you want to have the option of selecting available animations from a list, get Sexlab Tools.

 

If you mean you don't want to get another "trigger" mod, there are some spells from the Matchmaker mod, I think, that are added to your character when SL starts up. Should have a name like "debug".

Right, the last one.  Have a ton of animations and would like to see how they run without going through the various triggers that begin their animation.  Will check out Matchmaker.  Thank you!

I am not sure you can do what I think you want to do.... these are all paired anims, so you will need two actors. You can't just have your PC animate an idle or a dance or something solo.

Actually, many of the ones I have are solo animation.  Still might not do it.

Well, there are masturbatory ones that just work with your PC, or an NPC, but most of them are 2 person or 3 person, and some 4 and 5 person ones are available.

 

I don't know a way to see them without using some kind of trigger mod though, that's why I'm not sure what you want to do is possible, because I don't think these anims are the same kind of thing as what poser uses... they aren't poses you can preview.

 

If you get matchmaker though, you can simply cast a spell on an npc, and then on yourself or another npc and see the anims. Look in the hotkey section of the sexlab mcm and see what the keys do.

I appreciate the knowledge.  I guess I was looking for something that performed much in the way the FNIS Spells animations do, where you select an animation and it performs over and over again (the sweeping or cutting firewood comes to mind).  But I guess these animations don't work that way.

 

There was a thread a while back, here it is...

 

 

But could never get it to work.  Too complicated and messy, and the author went AWOL.

Yeah, these are not poses or idles (the sweeping or wood cutting, or book reading, leaning on tables, etc) that the base game uses.

 

I'm not sure what in the base game uses sequential stages of animations, they are closer to dances than the sweeping idles.

with mass match maker and slab tools, you pretty much just put a spell on urself and whoever else, than press like shift  h it will bring up a list of available to the amount of actors selected
