    Full list of Motion Tags

    Here's the list of motion tags and their descriptions that I've put together. A prettier version is available at http://whoopdedo.cjb.net/thief/motions.xhtml

    I began with the info posted by schwaa in this thread. Previous lists have been posted by Spanker, and Thumper.

    Some of them don't seem to have any effect. BellPull doesn't seem to do anything different, so I suspect it wasn't included in T2. I haven't tested any in TDP yet.

    Even more motions for completeness sake, but possibly the coolest of all. These ones are in T2 only, not TTDP or TG. They're probably left over from SS2.

    // Stationary
    Player 0, idlegesture
    Player 0, stand
    Player 0, stand, leaningleft
    Player 0, stand, leaningright
    Player 0, crouching
    Player 0, locomote, climbing // Plays the ladder climbing motion, no vertical movement.
    Player 0, mantle // Uses arms to pull up. No vertical movement.

    // Movement
    Player 0, locomote, direction 1 // Strafe Left
    Player 0, locomote, direction 2 // Strafe Right
    Player 0, locomote, direction 3 // Forward
    Player 0, locomote, direction 4 // Backward
    Player 0, locomote, locourgent // Run forward. No other directions work.
    Player 0, locomote, crouching // Move forward while crouched. No other directions work.

    //Jumps
    Player 0, jumping // Vertical hop
    Player 0, jumping, direction 3 // Forward, about 2 units.
    Player 0, jumping, direction 4 // Backward
    Player 0, jumping, locourgent, direction 3 // Slightly further forward, covers about 4 units.

    Some of those look like they only affect the hands and/or head. Could they be applied to a sitting AI to make it look alive?

    Completeness is good.

    The only part of garret visible in-game is the arm when using a weapon or carrying a body; and that has a specialized and limited range of motions. The generic "player" motions would have been used in network play. You can get another AI to use them by assigning him the Motions\ActorTagList "Player 0"

    Actually, the "Player 0" portion of SilentSleep's list is superflous and ignored in the Play Sound/Motion function. Just that you need to have the ActorTag set correctly for some of them to work. (the SpecialAttack, for instance, only works for 'WithSword, Hammer', for instance)

    Wow... I never realized how ridiculous I look when crouching!

    <i>Actually, the "Player 0" portion of SilentSleep's list is superflous</i>

    Only if you put Player 0 into the ActorTagList as you said, and if you only want to get an AI to crouch briefly during a conversation, you won't want to.

    If you tell an AI to play an idlegesture, they'll do the gesture defined by the ActorTagList, (an apebeast has a different idlegesture to a human, but it's still called idlegesture). The Player 0 at the start forces them to play the motion from that group instead.

    Where do I find the definitions?

    I mean.. What is avalible to use as combat motions? For example, withSword?

    They would be in the motion schema files.... If we had them.

    An updated version of the list I first posted can be found at http://snow.prohosting.com/tomfool/thief/motions.xhtml Although I still can't guarantee accuracy. It has the actor tags, which I omitted before.

    The motions used with WithSword are mostly going to be the generic Humanoid motions, but a few are different. Only a few things such as WorldFrob where you don't want the actor to cut his own legs off are specified for that tag. The biggest changes in motion tags are for the non-humanoid actors. (Make a guard do a pirouette with 'Treebease, Treelike, Stand')

    Anyway, all you really have to do is experiment. If you can manage to get an AI to move like you want him to, just thank the Gods of Dromed and don't question why it works.

    Ah yes, NICE! I was looking for a updated list. Thankx!
    I'm not a bad guy, I just play one in real life.

    So if I were to add "Player 0, jumping, direction 4" Would it work for a guard instead of the player?

    Here's actually a slightly different version, some things explained more...

    It's easy to have AI make motions. Just add a line after the goto -- Play Motions (the motion tag itself goes on the last of the three argument lines). Here's the tag you may want...
    Search, Scan

    Your guard will look around for a couple of seconds. Below is a list of all motion tags names along with some notes... (Many thanks to Thumper and Totality for extracting these tags from the Thief databases):

    ===========

    Thief 2 Motions
    ---------------
    First of all AI can 'play' motions in several ways:

    -- Conversations
    -- AI_WatchObject
    -- The property: Add>Motion>ActorTagList>[motion text] Motion loops continuously.... DanceOne is the classic motion of the zombies dancing in the Thief Gold blooper mission (I haven't gotten this to work yet).

    Motion tags are placed in Argument line 3 under play sound/motion on conversations and other AI programming like AIWatchObj. These are motions specifically designed for conversations since their play length is always the same. All of those starting with "Conv..." have been tested are known to work.

    Note - for those AI with weapons, the right hand would contain the weapon, and left is unarmed.

    Conv 1 - Wipe face with left hand, or pointing, or knocking on door
    Conv 2 - Lean back hard, reacting, stunned
    Conv 3 - Figets side to side
    Conv 4 - Shake arms in frustration
    Conv 5 - Lean ahead and peer ahead
    Conv 6 - Nod head in agreement
    Conv 7 - Point/gesture straight ahead both hands together like patting dough
    Conv 8 - Tilt head to right
    Conv 9 - Both hands behind back
    Conv 10 - Hold hands together in front

    Conv 11 - Place right hand across waist fast, like salute
    Conv 12 - Shrug, then point with right hand pointing up
    Conv 13 - Complex tippy-towing to right, looking, then running away to right
    Conv 14 - Lying on back, talking .. happens at waist level
    Conv 15 - Gesturing wildly, talking with hands, not manacing
    Conv 16 - Talking with hands explaining a point in detail
    Conv 17 - Gesturing, explaining by sweeping arms, brief.
    Conv 18 - Quick explaining hand motions
    Conv 19 - Gesturing as though "C'mon... let's just do it!"
    Conv 20 - Gesturing as though "I don't get it..." or "this seems stupid..." (turns away at end)

    Conv 21 - Swimming horizonatally, then dying
    Conv 22 - Explanation, lengthy
    Conv 23 - Simple head roll "maybe you're right..."
    Conv 24 - Raise right arm, long distance wave
    Conv 25 - Raise arm to waist as though "are you with us?"
    Conv 26 - Raise right arm, shake head "no"
    Conv 27 - Raise left hand making simple point
    Conv 28 - Slow shaking of arm in front together
    Conv 29 - Going ape-shit, raising arms, spinning on feet, lecturing
    Conv 30 - Leaning forward to listen

    Conv 31 - Point with right hand, slow.
    Conv 32 - Arms raised together, then slowly lowered as tho' angry boss
    Conv 33 - Leaning in, then shaking head in dissappointment
    Conv 34 - Leaning in, pointing or reaching straight ahead with right hand
    Conv 35 - Leaning in to hear, staying there for a while, then straighten up
    Conv 36 - Lying on back, tossing, or maybe struggling ...happens at waste level
    Conv 37 - Big "yes" head nod
    Conv 38 - Wiping face with left hand, maybe knocking on door or throwing switch (sometimes turns)
    Conv 39 - Crossing left arm across waist
    Conv 40 - Raising left arm, tipping head to left, tossing hands foward

    Conv 41 - Arms quickly raised to waist level
    Conv 42 - Crouching, looking straight ahead

    --------


    MORE MOTIONS...

    These seem to need to be typed exactly as shown -- mixing and matching these names in other ways doesn't seem to work. The number '0' seen in some lines may not be needed, but doesn't seem to hurt. Some of these motion tags may be the same as "Conv" motions. Many of them have runtime varieties -- sometimes playing longer or shorter depending on which of the varieties gets played -- so most of these may not be very useful for carefully-timed conversations. The ones starting with "Conversation" however, are old Thief 1 conversation motions, and these can be used reliably in timed conversations.

    Lines (below) beginning with "#" do not seem to work - or I don't have a clue how to use them.

    ActorTags - Define motions in some way (these IMO are complete motion sets -- just like speech sets can be done with 'voice' tags) Not sure how to make thes work:

    Zombie
    Hammer
    WithSword
    Unarmed
    WithBow
    Drunk
    Constantine
    Victoria
    Apparition
    Assassin
    Ramirez
    Haunt
    DanceOne -- this is the Thief Gold blooper mission 'zombie dance' motion.


    Not sure at all what these are or how they work...

    Well, I just validated it and there was one minor quirk I had to adjust. But I don't know if that was your problem; that looked like it couldn't parse the DTD. Anyway, try it again. If it still doesn't work, save to disk and view it in notepad or something.


    William: Yes, specifying an explicit actor tag will override any default actor.

    HD: Feel free to actually try to figure out where those extra tags are applicable and what they do.

    Hit Deity -- your list looks very familiar. This is exactly what I sent you a while back which was originally mostly stolen from threads by Totality and Thumper who did a lot of the original mining.

    Now if I can just figure out how they all work!

    <small> I did get a lot to work in my last FM, but I could not use some for unknown reasons.

    Re: Here's actually a slightly different version, some things explained more...

    I thought is was in T2 (Zombies behind that wall), but inorder for it to work, the zombies have to be on patrol, but then they don't move...


    ActorTags - Define motions in some way (these IMO are complete motion sets -- just like speech sets can be done with 'voice' tags) Not sure how to make thes work:

    Zombie
    Hammer
    WithSword
    Unarmed
    WithBow
    Drunk
    Constantine
    Victoria
    Apparition
    Assassin
    Ramirez
    Haunt
    DanceOne -- this is the Thief Gold blooper mission 'zombie dance' motion.


    I think you are missing some.. If add LocoUrgent to your AI's motion tags the Guard will always be sprinting around...

    Motiontags (that I know of):
    Haunts: WithSword 0, Haunt 0
    Zombies: Zombie 0
    Melee Apebeast: ApeBeast 0, WithSword 0
    Blow Apebeast: ApeBeast 0, WithBow 0, WithBlowgun 0
    Bugbeast: BugDemon 0
    FrogBeast: Frog 0, WithSword 0
    Treebeast: Treebeast
    Craybeast: Crayman 0, WithSword 0
    Mech Cherub: Cherub,Unarmed
    CombatBot: droid, security
    WorkerBot: droid, maintenance
    SpiderBot: MechSpid
    Mech Guards: WithSword 0, Hammer 0
    Mech Novice: Hammer 0
    X-bow: WithBow, WithCrossBow
    LocoUrgent: Makes AI run
    DancerOne: If on patrol causes AI to dance...
    Lotus: Shiver

    Your guard will look around for a couple of seconds. Below is a list of all motion tags names along with some notes... (Many thanks to Thumper and Totality for extracting these tags from the Thief databases):
    Wow, you have amazing powers of observation, YcatX! How'd you guess??

    and as you can see, telliamed, I didn't work any of them out, it was actually Totality and Thumper, so I have no idea where to start.

    Its funny how the creature class normally determines the mesh movement definitons.

    Burricks don't use any motion tags... (Except for the SwayingBurricks (Drunk)

    There is one motion that was not said: Drink (makes the AI play a drinking motion)

    Sorry for the thread resurrection, but I spended half an hour trying to find the drinking motion tag (had to open up Errand boy to find it).

    ALL of the motion tags are available at my web site. We've reversed engineered the motion database, so you can see all of the tags, and what motions they refer to.

    Motion Database Editor coming soon, I hope...

    I've had my head up my butt because of finals... And I've just been using the conv list for my acting.

    I have a question... There are sound tags associated with motions?

    For example, if the AI has:

    ClassTag: CreatureType Guard
    ActorTagList: WithBow 0
    (The bow-draw sounds are heard)


    if the AI has:

    ClassTag: CreatureType Servant
    ActorTagList: WithBow 0
    (AI makes bow actions, but no bow-draw sounds)
    (I used this for my spear throwers...)


    if the AI has:

    ClassTag: CreatureType Guard
    AI Core:AI: Human spellcaster
    (The AI uses spell motions with no bow-draw sound)

    There for some combination of Creature ClassTags, and ActorTagList to make weapon-power up to work...

    WHERE IS THIS INFO LOCATED? IS THERE A FLAG IN THE WITHBOW, and the CombatBots attack motion that calls on the weapon-power for the classtag?

    I'm guessing it will be a Bool since there is only one sound definition in the schemas and its linked to the creature class...

    The reason for this madness, it the fact I would freak-out if I can get my Lava Burricks to have a weapon-load sound (of them caughing up a lava-wad) then shooting via the Spit sounds...
