ix.anim

Player model animation.

Helix comes with support for using NPC animations/models as regular player models by manually translating animations. There are a few standard animation sets that are built-in that should cover most non-player models:

citizen_male
citizen_female
metrocop
overwatch
vortigaunt
player
zombie
fastZombie

If you find that your models are T-posing when they work elsewhere, you'll probably need to set the model class for your model with ix.anim.SetModelClass in order for the correct animations to be used. If you'd like to add your own animation class, simply add to the ix.anim table with a model class name and the required animation translation table.
