Automatic Recognition

As of version 0.6.0, Automated Animation now has a built-in customizable Automatic Recognition system. The interface for this is located at the TOP of the Module Settings menu.

Item Names:

When entering an item name, it should match the item name that you want it to be paired with. There are a few exceptions:

  1. This will IGNORE +1, +2, +3 for items. So settings the Preset animation for a Longsword will play that for a Longsword +1, Longsword +2 and Longsword +3.
  2. Putting the same item name on different menus will not work. Only put one item name! Example: Dagger is listed in the Melee menu. Dagger should not be listed on any other menus.

NOTE:

After the 0.6 release, an updated was implemented to the Automatic Recognition system:

  • The name comparison feature now uses an "includes()" method to compare against the item name
  • Using "sword" in the auto-rec settings will capture all items with "sword" in the name.
  • Using "greatsword" in the auto-rec settings will capture all items with "greatsword" in the name.

Menus

Each Menu has separate features and functions:

1. Melee
