New idle objects - Razorwing - 04-24-2009
I think I'm getting the hang of making idle objects now. Below are screenshots of a custom book idle I made. The book may be nothing special in itself, I was simply working on the model anyway and realized it was a good candidate for me to get the hang of how new idle objects worked.
Next up I figured I would make idles for our most commonly used foodstuffs. I don't know if I can do it for all of them though, but I can do the ones that are most important. Assuming you're a modder with the Silgrad Tower team, which is your favourite custom foodstuff in our mod?

How would foodstuff idles be used? Do the characters use the idles instead of the usual hand to palm to mouth animation?

Yes precisely. Right now if you make a character eat one of the foodstuffs I created it looks like nothing is being eaten. The animation is there, but nothing is displayed in the character's hand. By me making an idle object it'll look like he or she really is eating the foodstuff.

A few suggestions.

Ash yams too. An idea would be to do a "Use Info" census on the food items to see which are most used by ST modders for NPC sustenance.
Just a thought,
