Animation Console (Play any animation)

THIS IS HEAVILY WIP AND DOESNT OFFER ANY MENU OR KEYBINDING YET. THE REASON I WANT TO RELEASE IT RIGHT NOW IS BECAUSE ITS WORKING AND MIGHT BE USEFUL FOR SOME PEOPLE. also it doesn’t cost ;)

How do I install this?

You'll need UE4SS to run the mod.

Download a release (preferably a stable release) and extract it.

You'll need two files: UE4SS-settings.ini and xinput1_3.dll

You can safely discard the other files.

Place these two files at this location in your Hogwarts Legacy install: Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Binaries\Win64

Then, create a Mods folder at that location.

At the Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Binaries\Win64\Mods location, paste the mod files.

Start your game and the mod should be loaded.

How does it work ingame?

To play an animation, you have to open the console (press F10) and enter the following command with parameters for the animation:

playanim <animation_path>

For example, to play an animation of coming out of a Floo chimney, you can enter:

playanim /Game/Animation/Human/Hu_Travel_Floo_Exit_SlideOnFeet_anm. Hu_Travel_Floo_Exit_SlideOnFeet_anm

How do I find animations?

Animations can be found by searching for files that end with "_anm" using a tool like FModel. The animation file paths can then be used as the parameter for the playanim command.

Note that the animation path needs to be in a specific format in order to be used.

The original animation path may look like this:

Phoenix/Content/Animation/Human/Hu_Travel_Floo_Exit_SlideOnFeet_anm.uasset

However, for it to work,  the path needs to be in the following format:

/Game/Animation/Human/Hu_Travel_Floo_Exit_SlideOnFeet_anm. Hu_Travel_Floo_Exit_SlideOnFeet_anm

To convert the original path to the correct format, replace the "Phoenix/Content/" prefix with "/Game/" and remove the ".uasset" file extension. The Hu_Travel_Floo_Exit_SlideOnFeet_anm string needs to be duplicated at the end of the animation path.

To stop the animation simply press "F9"

Here are some working animations:

Generic:

playanim /Game/Animation/Human/Hu_Travel_Floo_Exit_SlideOnFeet_anm. Hu_Travel_Floo_Exit_SlideOnFeet_anm (Floo chimney exit)

Sitting:

playanim /Game/Animation/Human/Stations/Sitting/STUF_STN_SIT_Bench_Eat_Box_v01_anm. STUF_STN_SIT_Bench_Eat_Box_v01_anm true (eat jelly beans on bench and using true to loop it)

playanim /Game/Animation/Human/Stations/Sitting/HUF_STN_SIT_Bench_Idle_EatingApple_ANM. HUF_STN_SIT_Bench_Idle_EatingApple_ANM true (eating apple on bench, using true to loop it)
