Building a new animation behavior

[Torja]

I never worked with Skyrim animation before, but now I need to build a pack of behavior animation for my new race. I chose some animation mods from Nexus and picked the animations I like. I extracted all files from Animations.bsa (meshes\actors\character), then put it all in the new folder meshes\actors\MyCustomRace\ and chose the behavior for my race from that folder. Then I started to overwrite the animations I need. 

Now I have a problem with animation. All that works is only one idle animation. It looks weird, because the follower NPC of my race continue moving behind player's back, but only with changing coordinates with idle animation playing.

What did I do wrong? I need help.

I don't believe what you're trying to do is possible. All races pull from the same list of animations.

 

If I'm wrong and you know of an example where this was done, you could study how they put it together.

Ok, I'll investigate this topic and inform you if I'd have success.

 

One more thing. I want my follower use killmoves. But one Japanese animator I've contacted tried to explain to me that it is basically impossible. He gave me the script how to make killmoves to work with a follower. I asked him more questions, but he doesn't answer anymore. I've never worked with debug function before. Maybe someone could help me with the advice how to finish the script and where exactly to apply it?

The piece of code he gave to me:

Utility.Wait(1.2)

debug.SendAnimationEvent(follower, "pairedStop")

debug.SendAnimationEvent(follower, "pa_killmoveD") ; jump stab
