[Modder question] Detect current idle on NPC

[DeepBlueFrog]

Does anyone know if there is a good way to detect which idle or animation an NPC is currently playing?

 

I would like to have NPCs give a different answer to dialogues if they are currently reading or praying for example (things like "come back later.. can't you see I am busy"?).

Unless you initiate the idle (And thus can track it on your own), there's no way of doing this that I'm aware of.

 

Here's a list of all Skyrim animation variables available to you for query:

Thanks

 

That helped. 

 

I couldn't do exactly what I wanted but i was able to at least set a different dialogue when the NPC is drunk.

Actually there is a way of receiving events for animations you want to listen: http://www.creationkit.com/OnAnimationEvent_-_Form

Oh, nice. Hadn't been aware of that one. That's handy, thanks!
