Mod:Creation Kit/PlayAnimationAndWait - ObjectReference

Member of: Mod:Creation Kit/ObjectReference Script (Papyrus)

Plays the specified animation on the object and returns when the specified event is hit. (Internally, it sends the named event to the object's animation graph and waits for the named event to be fired) If it succeeds, it returns true. This function is latent.

Syntax
bool Function PlayAnimationAndWait(string asAnimation, string asEventName) native

Parameters

 * asAnimation: The animation to play. (The name of the event to send to the animation graph)
 * asEventName: The name of the event to wait for.
 * Caution: If the event you send it doesn't exist, the function will never return.

Return Value
True if the animation successfully played and finished. If the animation unloads before the end event is received, the function will abort and return false.

Examples
if Switch.PlayAnimationAndWait("flip", "done") Debug.Trace("Flip animation finished playing") else Debug.Trace("Flip animation failed to play or unloaded while playing") endIf
 * Play the flip animation and wait for the done event
