# Character Animations (`character_anim`)
Animates the character. Resembles [`playeranim`](https://github.com/minetest-mods/playeranim) and [`headanim`](https://github.com/LoneWolfHT/headanim).
## About
Depends on [`modlib`](https://github.com/appgurueu/modlib). Code written by Lars Mueller aka LMD or appguru(eu) and licensed under the MIT license.

## Features
* Animates head, right arm & body
* Also provides support for arbitrary player models, as long as `Head`, `Arm_Right` & `Body` bones exist
* Advantages over `playeranim`:
* Extracts exact animations and bone positions from b3d models at runtime (no complex installation)
* Also animates attached players (with restrictions on angles)
* Advantages over `headanim`:
* Provides compatibility back until Minetest 0.4.x (as opposed to `headanim` supporting only 5.3+)
* Head angles are clamped, head can tilt sideways
* Animates right arm & body as well

### `models`
Other models, same format as `default` model
<!--modlib:conf-->
## API
Minetest's `player:set_bone_position` is overridden so that it still works as expected.
### `character_anim.set_bone_override(player, bonename, position, rotation)`
The signature resembles that of `set_bone_position`. `bonename` must be a string. The following additional features are provided:
* Using it like `set_bone_position` by setting `rotation` and `position` to non-`nil` values and using `""` to set the root bone
* *Setting only the bone position* by setting `rotation` to `nil` - bone rotation will then be model-animation-determined
* *Setting only the bone rotation* by setting `position` to `nil` - bone position will then be model-animation-determined
* *Clearing the override* by setting both `rotation` and `position` to `nil` ("unset_bone_position")
