Fallout 4 - First person IdleStop fix

THIS IS A RESOURCE FOR MODDERS, IT DOES NOTHING BY ITSELF ALONE!

This plugin disables the "IdleStop" event which is called after a dynamic idle animation plays in first person, this event forces the equip animation to play.

I developed this mainly for my Cyberpunk 2077 - Malorian Arms - 3516 mod but you can still use it for your own custom first person animations without having to touch behavior graphs or keywords, just plug and play.

Available for the Anniversary Edition, Pre-Nextgen and Nextgen versions of the game

Simple comparison:

Vanilla behavior, the "draw" animation plays after the custom IDLE ends (WPNFlamer.hkx):

"IdleStop" no longer having effect after the custom IDLE (WPNFlamer.hkx):

How to use:

1. You can use CK or FO4Edit to add a new "IdleAnimation" under any 1st behavior root;

2. Create a .txt file at "Data/F4SE/Plugins/FO4IdleStopFix" with any name, the txt content should be:

PLUGIN_FILENAME,IDLEANIMATION_FORMID

Example: myplugin.esp,0x114

From there you should know how to call those animations using Papyrus and the MCM hotkey system.

There is an optional file with a pretty straight forward example on how to build something basic with this plugin.

If you still need more concrete examples, feel free to unpack my Malorian Arms 3516, the script source is available in it.
