Easy Animation Tool

Description
A tool that allows easy animation playback for all entities that have animations. This will not work on Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, Portal 2, CS:GO models, it's a problem with Garry's Mod, not this mod.

Please note that not all models have animations. This tool only shows you animations that the models have.

Information / Usage notes
A lot of useless NPC animations, like gestures, postures and all those T-pose animations, are excluded by default. There is an option to disable this.

Animations on NPCs: You must disable NPC thinking before trying to play an animation, because while thinking is enabled, NPCs will always reset any custom animations you try to play.

Animations on ragdolls: By default ragdolls are impossible to animate, because the physics engine kind of animates them. So as a workaround, I added a "Make Animatable" property for all ragdolls. If will disable physics, but will enable animations.

Animations on props: For some reason, props reset their animations. So as a workaround, I added a "Make Animatable" property for all props as well. If will disable physics, but will enable animations.

Disabling NPC Thinking: Hold C, press "NPCs" button in the menu at the top and select "Disable NPC Thinking".

Hiding the Bounding Boxes for the entire server Set rb655_easy_animation_nobbox_sv to 1 to hide the white boxes for everyone on the server.

Playing series of animations
You can play several animations one by one with this tool. For this you will need to select first entity, click on desired animation, configure animation options and press the Add current selection button. Do this as many times as needed. You can also add timed animations for same entity. Once you have all the animations added to the list, left click anywhere and all the animations should be played.
NOTICE: You cannot play 2 or more animations on the same entity at once!

Notice about "Add more animations" and "This animation is buggy": I DIDN'T make these animations nor I can or will add more animations. This tool gives you every animation for every model if it has any. This fully depends on the model.

@eerimation You can't add animations in-game to a ragdoll which doesn't have any.

What if the ragdoll I want animated doesn't have any default animations? How do I add animation cycles from other ragdolls into another ragdoll?

Been very useful, thank you :8bitheart:

@FoxenKnight Shoot the ragdoll with this tool via right click and hold "C". If the list is empty, keep holding "C", right click the ragdoll and choose "Make Animatable" ‒ some ragdolls might not have animations even after this, but it should work in most cases. Finally, choose animation from the list, it will play instantly. 😉

But can someone explain to me how we move characters using the animation tool and also move them of walk cycles.
FoxenKnight Oct 16 @ 6:45am 
Is there a way to move the ragdoll to animationable and using the tool to move the ragdolls and also using walk cycles. Little help on this will be good.

Though it worked before so, I don't understand why it won't work now.

It is kinda sad you can't play animations with 2 different playermodels :/

@fandybejo This is a completely separate tool to play animations on ragdolls and NPCs, that's it.
