Worth mentioning again for anyone who has purchased my Marketplace asset, these idle animations will come with the update so don't worry about implementing them 😄✌️ - Beardman

[@MartKart8]

I liked how simple this was to follow, I built my own animations in Blender and was glad to be able to add it to my idle animal.

[@minusnine5036]

[@Beardgames]

Thanks DLPS you officer legend 😎❤️

[@LavaOcto]

Wonderful!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@javierito750]

You're a saviour! Thanks!

[@kyo998]

Another way of doing this without making additional states is to simply do a blend poses by bool, and plug in the boolean there instead of using a separate state machine. Great tutorial!

[@Beardgames]

Sure it works the same 😊 Thanks Ben!

[@nikgiak2994]

Actually your way is better because of the Blend time, ty.

[@victorjevsevar2155]

Cheers mate, these type of comments are super helpfull. This approach was way better then the original one.

This channel is fantastic, it has really helped me in my foundation year at University - I'm studying Computer Game Design and it's awesome (: I would love to see a grappling hook tutorial. Would be amazing to see how the animation and technical aspects of it work :D

[@Beardgames]

Glad to hear I'm helping out brother! I'll see how things go 😎

[@hl453]

Great, that's what I want!

[@konjaneko537]

Very helpful, ThankYou.

[@Beardgames]

No worries 🙂

[@Tenchinu]

great tut! needed exactly this :)
but, how would you go about adding an animation that plays at random on a specific bone tho?
like... a tail wagging, or scaring off a fly?

[@bedirhankara7495]

thank you so much broo

[@Beardgames]

Anytime my friend 🙂

[@K13VA]

Heya! Great tutorial! Thank you so much!
However, I have a small issue where it will play a few of them at the same time? Any way to go about this?

[@CrimsongCatDev]

Hi, great tutorial!
I have a question tho.
Im making a character that consist of different parts (each one with same skeleton and ABP) but when playing each one has a different ABP instance, so when entering the Random Sequence Player, each skeleton plays a different anim. Is there a way to make every skeleton to share the same ABP instance, or another way to fix this issue.
Thanks!

[@Beardgames]

Takes one to know one 😎🤘🏻

[@insomnia1006]

Hey there, great tutorial. Appreciate you taking the time to post this!
How would one go about adding a sound clip to each of the added idle animations? So when one of the random idle animation plays, a sound (for example character voice line) plays as well?

[@K13VA]

Best way to go about that would be doing it in the animations themselves, and triggering a sound when they play

[@insomnia1006]

​@@K13VAI'll give it a look next time I'm doing some character animation implementation. Thanks for the reply! :)

[@buster5661]

it works, but im having trouble blending the ending animations together. it seems the blend time isnt working?

[@wdavis81x]

oh yea boi dat work good i tell you what.

[@Beardgames]

My guy Davis appreciate it brother 😎

[@felixjschaefer]

[@MartKart8]

I had to duplicate the speed, well the part of BlendSpace 1D, as my other moves stopped working.
