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.

Ligands Forum posts: 0 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	Fix for the delay bug I've made a fix for the bug that causes custom idle animations to often play immediately after taking a step! (As mentioned in my previous comment, this basically just makes it so the global 'Delay' timer actually resets itself if you stop idling.) Edit IdleSet.lua, replace line 77 with this: Lua Code: EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForUpdate("IdleSetCheckIdleDelay", 1000, function() self:CheckIdleDelay(self.delay) end) And then copy+paste this block of code into line 67: Lua Code: function IdleSet:CheckIdleDelay(remainingDelay) EVENT_MANAGER:UnregisterForUpdate("IdleSetCheckIdleDelay") if (IsBusy()) then EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForUpdate("IdleSetCheckIdleDelay", 1000, function() self:CheckIdleDelay(self.delay) end) return end if(remainingDelay > 0) then EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForUpdate("IdleSetCheckIdleDelay", 1000, function() self:CheckIdleDelay(remainingDelay - 1) end) else self:SetActiveIdle(true) end end (Disclaimer: I've only tested it enough to see that it works- there's still technically a small chance this won't detect that you stopped idling, since it only checks once every second to see if you're busy. There's naturally always a chance of introducing other unforseen bugs when changing someone else's code, so please don't ask Xerrok for help if you've applied this fix and something stops working) Last edited by Ligands : 07/15/21 at 10:01 PM.

Explanation of why the delay doesn't work like expected

Originally Posted by Xerrok

There is no option for a delay between emotes. Please see my answer to Katnipthief above, for how the 'Minimum Time' setting works. What you're asking for is the 'Delay' setting on top of the emotes list. In seconds, you can define a delay which should pass, before an emote is being played after you stopped moving or took an action.

The delay definitely doesn't work like you'd expect it to though; even though my Delay is set to 30, the animation often plays immediately after walking, closing a crafting table, etc. I've looked into it, the problem is with the way the addon schedules the delayed idle animation- it's not checking whether the player is actually idling during the defined 'delay' time.

For example, in IdleSet.lua if you want to follow along:

My 'Delay' is set to '30', which schedules the 'IdleSet:SetActiveIdle' function to run in 30*1000 milliseconds (line 77)
When 30 seconds elapses, the function is recursively called but with the 'ignoreDelay' flag set to true (the inline function at the end of line 77);
- If the player is busy at that moment only, the function is recursively scheduled in 500ms, with the same flag, until they are not busy (line 72)
- Once the player is not busy, the idle animation attempts to play (line 83)

Please do correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I can tell there's nothing actually telling the addon to reset the idle timer when the player starts moving or taking any action. Which is why the custom idle animations often just end up playing immediately after you take a step or close a crafting station, because the scheduled event just happened to elapse recently.

There's surely a smarter solution, but a fix would be to add an intermediary recursive function to handle the delay- checking every 1000ms whether the player is busy, resetting its own delay parameter to the 'full' configured one if so, or recursively calling itself & decrementing the recursive parameter by 1000 if not, until the delay has fully elapsed.

Hi there, yes you can use emotes from crown crates with this addon. If you just got it, make sure to reload the UI or restart the game first, so the addon recognizes the new ones and add them to the list.

Thanks for the lovely addon

This would be indeed a neat feature and you're not the first one asking me this, but I need some time to implement that. It's on my bucketlist tho

Also, it doesn't recognize when I'm in any screens like bank or inventory. I see the message up top saying I cant use an emote right now.

The 'Minimum Time' field on each emote is the minimum time in seconds this specific emote should be played. It will belooped through this whole time. After the time is passed, the addon will randomly play another emote you've added to your idle set, this could be even the same one. I just tested it again and it works as intended.
If you're not sure what setting does what, hover over it and there will be a tooltip with a description.

That the game is showing messages saying that emotes can't be used right now in UI windows is a known bug, because the last time I checked, there is no way to check that through the API.

PS. Please don't steal my catnip

I saw, that the creator of the Lovely Emotes addon fixed this.

Thanks for answering Sunegami's question. I don't have the Psijic Glowglobe unlocked, so I can't really test that. But usually after acquiring new emotes, you unfortunately have to reload the UI or simply restart ESO for it to show up in the list of emotes. I think it should be under the Entertainment category, but I'm really not sure, sorry.

At the top, right under Active Idle Set, there's a Delay slider.

What fixed it for me is installing both LibAddonMenu-2.0 AND LibStub separately.

LibStub was removed from LibAddonMenu but Custom Idle Animation seems to still be calling for it.

Also have load out of date.

Seems Zenny just loves to uncheck that every majro patch. :|

I've been thinking... do you think this addon could be perhaps somehow "merged" with LovelyEmotes (I know, different author...)? The way its emote selector works is really neat and could probably work with CIA too?
