Q&A
- Q. It's not working.
- A1. You didn't install the requirement - Install it (also its requirements), restart a game.
- A2. NPCs are not in alert mode. You won't see any animations if you are already in combat.
- In combat = NPCs have found you and charged toward you.
- Q. Why DAR?
- A. Idk how to make this work with FNIS/Nemesis.
- Q. Is it okay to install the mod mid-playthrough?
- A. Yes.
- Q. Is the mod compatible with X Mod?
- A. Probably. But i'm not sure. You might wanna try it by yourself.
- Q. I don't see any difference.
- A. Ok.
- Q. Can you make an animation like this for creatures (draugr, beasts...)
- A. I can't. There are no available rigs for them.
- Q. Is this script-heavy?
- A. No. Just one simple script to get combat state and activate animations. It's necessary because DAR has no combatstate condition.
- I know there's IsInCombat() but it has no use for this mod.
- Q. Why esp?
- A. Without a plugin, the script won't work. If you want to remove the mod mid-playthrough, just delete Look Around_DISTR.ini.
- And delete the rest of the files before you start a new playthrough.
- Q. I don't like certain animation.
- A. Get DAR Explorer to find the animation you don't like and delete that hkx file. Or you can make a new animation or something.
