Mob laying down?

[Jpfennig1]

Hiho, I am looing for a way to let a mob lay down permanently.
I would go for a EVENT_SPAWN doing a lay down animation (as for sitting) but I cant seem to find a laying down animation, except for a death animation, which resets to standing still after the animation is done.

Is there any way to have a mob laying down? I remember laying mobs in the Tranquility sick bay for example.

I believe the death position doubles as the laying down position for all NPC's

Yeah, how do I put a mob into death position then? #doanim 16 doesnt work, since the mob does the falling down (as if it was slain) however after that he pops back into the normal standing position (in constrast to sitting down, #doanim 38) :P

Does anyone have a solution for this? I checked with sitting (#doanim 38) but somehow the mobs "decide" to stand up after a while. Therefor even sitting wont work for ever. The only thing I found is the gm command #setanim 1-4, however I cant seem to find anything equal I could put into a quest, therefor trigger it automatically.

Any help would be appreciated.

setanim just calls SetAppearance...

so you can do $npc->SetAppearance(##);

That works, big thanks!
