Makes caller face a PC and play an animation.

void PlayConversationAnimation(
    int nAnimationConstant,
    object oTarget
);

Parameters

nAnimationConstant

Animation to play (ANIMATION_*)

oTarget

Description

First, the caller will face oTarget. If oTarget isn’t a valid object, the caller will face the nearest PC instead. Then, the caller will play the nAnimationConstant animation. If this is a looping animation, it is played for two seconds.

Remarks

Great for making tavern scripts and other scripts, where you want it to look like two NPCs are talking.

object oDrunk=GetObjectByTag("drunk_man");

//Don't do this if the entering object is the drunk man
