perminent dancing npc

[pepsiphreak79]

I havnet found a way to make my npc permanently dance yet
Does anyone have a way to make a doanim stay on?
or do i need to make it just loop over and over somehow?

Im trying to craft up a stripper club where the npcs are dancing non stop till you hail them and get the adult epic im gonna work on then they go back to dancing

I'm not a coder by any means but I would think using a timer would do the trick.

sub EVENT_SPAWN {

quest::settimer("dance",1);
}

sub EVENT_TIMER {

     if ($timer eq "dance")
     {
     quest::doanim(58);
     }
}

that would work, but you'd need to make it reset the timer in the timer event, so it will loop

yah noticed that after i posted but was to late to edit lol. and I am sure there is a better way to do it, but its a start.

sub EVENT_SPAWN {

     quest::settimer("dance",1);
}

sub EVENT_TIMER {

     if ($timer eq "dance")
     {
     quest::doanim(58);
     quest::settimer("dance",1);
     }
}

Timers are already set to repeat.

this is one that i use, for some npcs

sub EVENT_SPAWN {
   quest::settimer("dance6", 2);
}

sub EVENT_TIMER {
   if($timer eq "dance6") {
      my $anivar1 = quest::ChooseRandom(58, 59, 60, 63, 62);
      quest::doanim($anivar1);
   }
}

change numbers if you want different animations

ty for the help here is the base code that triggers her on approach to dance

ill be adding more things at some date like starting in a robe and taking it off with the modelchange when she is given plat

sub EVENT_SPAWN
{
	plugin::SetProx(20, 10);
}

sub EVENT_ENTER {
  quest::shout("I'm ready to get dirty Are you?");
  quest::settimer("dance",1);
}

sub EVENT_EXIT {
  quest::say("Come back any time!");
  quest::stoptimer("dance");;
}

sub EVENT_TIMER {

     if ($timer eq "dance")
     {
     quest::doanim(58);
     quest::settimer("dance",1);
     }
}




sub EVENT_SAY {
if($text =~ /Hail/i) {
	quest::say("Hello $name");
	quest::setanim(58); 
}
}

added this to my anim.pl plugin

#Akkadius
#Usage plugin::SetProx(X/Y Axis Range, Z Axis Range);
sub SetProx{	
	my $Range = $_[0];
	my $Z = $_[1];
	my $x = plugin::val('$x');
	my $y = plugin::val('$y');
	my $npc = plugin::val('$npc');
	my $z = $npc->GetZ();
	quest::set_proximity($x - $Range, $x + $Range, $y - $Range, $y + $Range, $z - $Z, $z + $Z);
	}
