Add more roleplay animations! (Roleplay QoL Update?)

[Draqo2x]

I think the server could greatly improve immersion by expanding the available roleplay animations. Instead of needing to create entirely new animations from scratch, it might be worth looking into pulling animation data from frameworks like Clockwork HL2RP or similar Source RP schemas that already have large animation libraries built out.

A lot of these frameworks already support things like:

Smoking animations.

Wall leaning.

Notebook writing.

Radio use.

Searching/patdowns.

Injured idles.

Sitting variations.

Hand interactions. (handover/receive)

Investigation poses.

Since these already exist within the Source animation sets, it may just be a matter of integrating or porting the animation tables rather than creating entirely new ones. This could save development time while still expanding RP expression.

 

Why this would help:

Right now most interactions are just characters standing still during conversations. More available animations would allow players to show emotion, status, and intent through body language instead of only text.

This would especially benefit:

Mafia meetings.

Police investigations.

Business RP.

Interrogations.

Street interactions.

 

This could allow Diverge to quickly expand RP immersion without major development overhead.

The goal wouldn't be feature bloat, just giving players more tools to visually roleplay and make interactions feel more alive.

 

Please give your thoughts on the matter below, your opinion is valued and appreciated. Thank you.

Yeah to literally all of these

Would be awesome

I think there's probably some bullshittery behind the scenes reason that makes it challenging but i'd love to see non-fortnite emote animations for roleplay stuff, like being able to lean, maybe like have your hands on a table, drink a whiskey glass etc.

I agree! It would make things feel a lot more realistic, and dynamic in roleplay scenarios.

i support this. Unless theres obvious exploits with zip ties and stuff.  also if you are tied it should turn off the emote option

As Calink said ive seen emotes in which you can lean against the wall with your arms crossed, sitting on chairs/floors in different positions, etc etc it really goes actually go really hard and does add so much RP potential 

 

we constantly see people use /anims ALL the time in different situations to add some value to the moment, adding more emotes will undeniable be used a ton by the community and loved 

a lot of suggestions that suggest something like this spew retarded shit but this one nails it in the direction it shoudl be
