Assorted Behavior Fixes

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Vanilla Issues:

  • []Dual casting not animating the right hand on release[/]

    []Left hand and right hand casting animating the non-casting hand -> not using the correct idle when using OAR replacers[/]

    []Left hand pose would not update when switching weapons or spells with sprinting[/]

    []Attacking while casting with the left hand would have the left arm go down to the left awkwardly[/]

    []Spam casting left and right staves or spells will make the left or right hand skip playing the correct locomotion animation due to SpeedDamped not being calculated already[/]

    []No casting camera animation while moving[/]

    []Firing staves would animate the alternative unarmed hand -> broken idle[/]

    []Staves instantly disappear when unequipping[/]

    Fixes Applied:

    • []Dual casting now animates the right hand on release[/]

      []Left and right hands are separated when casting spells or using staves[/]

      []Left hand pose will update when switching weapons or spells with sprinting[/]

      []Attacking while casting with left hand now no longer affects the left arm casting position, behaves exactly like normal casting[/]

      []Spam casting left and right staves or spells will play the correct idle animations[/]

      []Camera is now animated by camera animations during locomotion[/]

      []Staves stay visible while unequipping[/]

      Requirements

      Nemesis or Pandora for installing the behavior edits.

      Installation

      Install like any other behavior mod.

      Compatibility

      Compatible with everything. If something is not working, it's most likely because you 1. didn't clear your compiled behaviors cache or 2. are overwriting the patched behavior files, which would break all other behavior mods along with mine.
