Animations

Every animation clip of the game’s male animation set - 9236 names from Animations/Mannequin/ADB/kcd_male_database.adb and the databases it includes, grouped by the fragment family they belong to (a fragment is the game’s own name for the situation a clip plays in: Greetings, SittingVariationLoop, WoodChopping_loop, CombatAttack …).

SetActorAnim(id, clip [, loop]) (Lua, C#) plays one of these on a standing NPC actor: looping until cleared (loop true, the default) or once. The prelude names a few as aliases - sit, wave, bow, nod, pray, chop, sweep, smith (ACTOR_ANIM in Constants). Three things to know:

  • a name here is one the body knows, not one that looks right standing in the open: the combat, locomotion and horse clips play, but as a pose they mean little, and a chore without its prop (a smith without an anvil) mimes;
  • a clip ending in _loop is meant to loop, one ending in _over, _in or _out to play once;
  • a woman’s body (an actor or a player whose look says gender = "female") knows these clips as well as her own: where both sets have a name, hers plays.

The fragments column lists the fragments the clip appears under - the hint to what it is.
