Trouble with Triggering Tagged Animations:

[Surgat]

Okay, so usually I try and figure things out on my own, but this one is a complete mystery -

 

I'm working on a mod that triggers specific tagged animations depending on your dialogue choices (standard stuff for many SexLab mods). So basically I want choice A to trigger animations with tags 1, 2 and 3, but not tags 4, 5 and 6 for example, etc.

 

Problem is, SexLab just seems to do whatever it wants - making a new animation selection over my script. I choose the dialogue, the program enters making state, my tag conditions pop up just fine, then the program says, "Thread[0] - Selecting new creature animations - []" (Oh yeah, some of my actors are creatures, not sure if that changes things...) and then some random animation is selected.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Here is my code:

Scriptname TestDial1 Extends TopicInfo Hidden

;BEGIN FRAGMENT Fragment_0
Function Fragment_0(ObjectReference akSpeakerRef)
Actor akSpeaker = akSpeakerRef as Actor
;BEGIN CODE
actor[] sexActors = new actor[2]
sexActors[0] = SexLab.PlayerRef
sexActors[1] = akSpeaker
sslBaseAnimation[] anims
anims = SexLab.GetAnimationsByTags(2, "Vaginal", "Oral,Anal")

SexLab.StartSex(sexActors, anims)

;END CODE
EndFunction
;END FRAGMENT

;END FRAGMENT CODE - Do not edit anything between this and the begin comment

SexLabFramework property SexLab  Auto

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Again, it compiles and runs fine, I just can't get it to follow my tag parameters. It's like some other script is overwriting my code or something...

Could anyone provide me with some source code for initiating tagged animations after a dialogue? I'm trying to crack this but so far I have no idea why the game is selecting a new animation after my script executes.

 

Perhaps my code is missing something? I've tried to follow the scripting examples to the letter... Again, it initiates a sex animation, but SexLab overrides my tag request.

There are some special considerations when filtering creature animations.

;/* GetCreatureAnimationsByRaceTags
* * Gets an array of creature animations that have a specified set of tags AND are valid for a specific creatures race.
* *
* * @param: int ActorCount - The total number of actors, between 1-5 the returned animations should be intended for.
* * @param: Race RaceRef - The race the returned animations should be usable by.
* * @param: string Tags - A comma separated list of animation tags you want to use as a filter for the returned animations.
* * @param: string TagSuppress - A comma separated list of animation tags you DO NOT want present on any of the returned animations.
* * @param: bool RequireAll - If TRUE, all tags in the provided "string Tags" list must be present in an animation to be returned. When FALSE only one tag in the list is needed.
* * @return: sslBaseAnimation[] - An array of animations that fit the provided search arguments.
*/;
sslBaseAnimation[] function GetCreatureAnimationsByRaceTags(int ActorCount, Race RaceRef, string Tags, string TagSuppress = "", bool RequireAll = true)
return CreatureSlots.GetByRaceTags(ActorCount, RaceRef, Tags, TagSuppress, RequireAll)
endFunction

There are more creature related functions documented in SexLabFramework.psc

Ahh, thank you! I figured there was something I was missing, but didn't realize there was an entirely separate function just for creature animations. This explains why my human actors were functioning fine but not my animal ones - cheers!
