Custom Idle Animation Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.7.3

by: Xerrok [More]

WARNING ABOUT VERSIONS 1.7 AND 1.7.1!
Since the indices of the emotes were changed by Zenimax, and the fact that this addon only stores the indices of emotes, idle sets from previous versions can't be migrated and therefore will be deleted!
I've changed it so, that the names of the emotes instead of the indices will be stored from now on, so that this case won't happen again.

With this addon you are able to replace the default idle animation with any in-game emotes.
You can use idle sets to totally customize your idle animation with all available emotes. Every emote can be given a minimum play time and a priority for more customization. Feel free to make idle sets for several "moods" of your characters.

The emotes will play almost immediately after your character's idle starts and the defined delay has passed. After that, the emotes will refresh every time when the defined minimum time has passed, or repeatedly during its minimum time, if loop is activated. The same emote can be executed more than once, which can result in a longer time a certain emote is being played.

With the chat command /cia or Escape->Settings->Addons->Custom Idle Animations you will get into the settings.
If you hover with the cursor over the single settings, a tooltip will pop up with helpful information.

You can assign keys to easily switch between the idle sets and a key to activate/deactivate the addon in the controls settings of ESO.

Known Bug:

When trying to sit on chairs, benches and such, the emotes will interrupt it. Deactivate the addon with the assigned key, so the character will keep sitting.
Having any UI window active and the game not in focus, results in getting messages, that the action couldn't be executed.

Kenza Forum posts: 31 File comments: 175 Uploads: 1	Oooo, very nice! Some feedback so far! I think it would feel more natural if it would 'reset' after you move/combat/whatever. For example, I have a character that uses /armscrossed, /idle2, /handsonhips for idleing. If she starts /armscrossed, then moves.. she goes right back to /armscrossed again, and again every time she moves. Made me think I didn't save the rest of the emotes properly somehow, haha! But I assume this is just because the 'duration' of /armscrossed hadn't run out.. Would it be possible instead, to have it pick a new emote if the first one is interrupted before its duration runs out? And a possible future feature idea! Could we have emote previews when we click the emote in the settings? Suppose that would require a disable camera spin option too, to enable previews while in the menu.. Thanks for all your hard work! Last edited by Kenza : 02/28/20 at 04:29 PM.

Re: Request or help

Hello everyone,
I've rewrote my addon from scratch and also implemented some new features, hope you like it. Feel free to give any feedback.

			getFunc = function() return "Set "..tostring(CIA.activeEmoteSet) end,
			setFunc = function(var) SwitchActiveSet(tonumber(string.sub(var, 5))) end,

No when I change from set to set it does not remember the emotes of Bard set it over writes them with the default one. I am pretty sure some function is trying to locate the Set "number" but cant and set it as defult or the set Bard is not saved... Is there something I could do? Since I am totally new to LUA ... only 2 youtube videos.

So maybe for the next update if we could name our sets or if you could just send me towards a tutorial so I may edit it myself. Thanks Love the addon

Done

PS: Keep up the awesome work!

Thanks for the feedback

I didn't even know, there is an emote wheel. Is that only usable via gamepad?
Someone else already told me about the error messages popping up frequently. Unfortunately I can't reproduce this bug. For me this error only pops up in very few cases, and only once.
Could you please tell me, which settings you use for CIA?

Something like this: I would create a set that works with no Personality activated, one that goes with Telvanni Magister and one with Treasure Hunter. And upon changing Personality, it would change the active set.

That's an interesting feature I will consider for the next Update. Thanks for the suggestion and answering DreamsUnderStars' question.

It was just updated to the most recent API version, so no new features. I just saw that I've forgot to increase the version number of CIA in the Change Log. Will correct that with the new Update.

Unfortunately the addon description is a little vague as to what specifically happens behind the scenes. It says "emotes will play after the idle delay is over" and "emotes will refresh everytime the minimum emote time is over". I assume that means it will pick one emote from the list and start playing it after idle delay time. I also assume it plays only this one kind of emote during minimum emote time, and picks another from the list once the time runs out.

Following these assumptions I found the following odd behaviors:

1. The idle delay is wildly inconsistent. If I set 10000ms, I expect the first emote to play after 10 seconds. However, in my tests it took anywhere from 3 to 17 seconds (measured against Windows stopwatch). I also had cases in which it just didn't play any emotes at all.

2. Emotes play multiple times during the minimum emote animation, again in wildly irregular intervals. Sometimes it plays an emote once, sometime it plays it 3 times right after one another. Not sure if that's intended.

3. Looping animations have a chance to completely ignore minimum emote animation and just continue to play indefinitely (tested up to 10mins with 6 different animations in the list)

4. Minimum emote animation seems to occasionally behave as inconsistently as idle delay. In one example I observed 2 different emotes played right after one another, deemingly ignoring the minimum time.

1. The idle delay is a time between 0 and the value you set in milliseconds, which have to pass until one of the emotes will be played. With a value of 10000 milliseconds in idle delay and 1500 milliseconds in minimum emote time, the first emote that will be played, after you did something (moving, looting, come out of stealth, dismounting, etc.) and 10000 milliseconds has passed, will be one of the emotes specified in your list and will be played guarenteed for a minimum of 1500 milliseconds. Every internal check after those 1500 milliseconds has a chance to trigger one of your other emotes, which will also be played for at least 1500 milliseconds.

2., 3. and 4. That shouldn't happen, I will look into that.

If you only have 1 emote set in the addon, it will only use that one. It will not allow the default idle animations to play.

I tried using an emomento chat command, but it did not play the animation when idle.
