Caveats

CK Wiki - Notes

Too many things can happen while you are attempting to play an idle, so make sure to gracefully handle all circumstances. Never use the structure "play idle, wait for event" - this will inevitably cause your script to get stuck forever when some other code or script overrules your idle.

Parameters

IdleakIdle

CK Wiki Description

The idle form to whose animation to play on this actor.

Examples

; Start Hadvar's flute animation
 if Hadvar.PlayIdle(fluteIdle)
   Debug.Trace("Hadvar is playing his flute!")
 else
   Debug.Trace("Something went wrong")
 endIf; Start Hadvar's flute animation
 if Hadvar.PlayIdle(fluteIdle)
   Debug.Trace("Hadvar is playing his flute!")
 else
   Debug.Trace("Something went wrong")
 endIf
