Switching animations from shiek?

[Salvage66]

I know its possible to port animations over from mm but is possible to swap animation that are already in the rom?So if i could document sheik would i be able to swap an animation for one of links?Also how would i document and find the offset for shieks animations speficly holds the harp and vibrating them over links ocanina stance?Of course i may have to involve asm to assign the animation via buttons wouldnt i?

First off, its not possible to port over animations from characters that don't have the same bone structure, so you should check that out first.

Similar isn't enough, they've gotta be exact. Post a pic of a comparison?

They are no where near similar in structure, there is no way to swap animations.

Well that sucks i guess i have to make custom animations to use the harp properly.But thanks for telling me this ahead of time it mustve saved me some trouble but hey thats what Q&A is for right?Now if i do make custom animation how will i make the harp vibrate when the string is pulled even though makeing all the animation will be hard.And how would i assign each string a different button for it too play?

I'm fairly sure Link's Ocarina playing animation differentiates for each note, so you'd just have to isolate each note's animation and replace them one at a time, each time moving the hand accordingly.

Wow Arcaith That sounds like it will save me alot of trouble thanks everyone!

Now all thats left is for me to make the animations.
