Examples
Here is an example of how to use saa.
Applies all idle animations to the selected actor.
Overview
Forces the selected actor to play all of their idle animations, often used for screenshots and posing. It can produce odd results since animations stack, and you typically reset the actor afterward. It is a niche tool for machinima and photography rather than gameplay.
