docs: proxy animation investigation conclusive - animations not feasible

Browse Source 
Investigation summary:
- Tested velocity-based animation triggering: graph variable writes, animation
  events, character controller velocity manipulation, and Move() API calls
- All approaches failed: animations do not play on SetPosition-backed proxy actors
- Root cause: Fallout 4's animation system requires active AIProcess-driven
  locomotion packages, which are incompatible with networked puppet actors
- Fallout 4's animation system fundamentally ties animation evaluation to the
  character controller's actual velocity AND active AI-driven locomotion state
- PlaceAtMe proxies updated via SetPosition cannot provide either requirement

Proxy actors currently work correctly for:
- Smooth position synchronization
- Heading/rotation updates
- Jump animations (via Z-position)
- Network sync and lifecycle

What remains impossible without deep engine access:
- Walk/run/sneak animation playback
- Animation graph variable manipulation affecting behavior
- Character controller velocity synthesis for puppets

Recommendation: Accept this architectural limitation and provide alternative
visual feedback (particles, glows, state indicators) instead of animations.

Files changed:
- plugin/src/F4TProxyActorController.cpp: Reverted to SetPosition-only approach
- docs/dev-log.md: Added comprehensive investigation summary and conclusions

## 2026-06-03 - Proxy Locomotion Animation Sync
### Summary
Added runtime proxy animation graph sync so remote movement state drives walk,
run, sprint, sneak, jump, and weapon-drawn visuals through curated Havok graph
variable writes. Transform sync, networking, and puppet neutralization are
unchanged.
### Files Changed
- `plugin/include/F4TProxyAnimationSync.h`
- `plugin/src/F4TProxyAnimationSync.cpp`
- `plugin/src/F4TProxyActorController.cpp`
- `protocol/player-sync.md`
- `docs/architecture.md`
- `docs/dev-log.md`
### Details
- Confirmed graph variable names (local read-by-name debug + Creation Kit
`SetAnimationVariable*`): `Speed`, `bIsMoving`, `bIsSneaking`, `bSprint`,
`bInJumpState`, `bWeaponDrawn`, `Direction`.
- `F4TProxyAnimationSync` writes via `IAnimationGraphManagerHolder::SetGraphVariable*`
on the game thread only; skips when the graph manager is missing or in
transition.
- Applies on state transition and every active tick while `isMoving` (graph can
decay when movement controller is bypassed).
- `ClearProxyAnimationState` resets idle graph values on hold, disconnect, reuse,
and slot reassignment.
- Master gate `kEnableProxyVisualAnimationSync` and sub-gates for locomotion,
sneak, jump, and weapon drawn are enabled for in-game validation.
- `movementSpeed` maps directly to graph `Speed`; sprint uses `max(speed, 300)`.
- `RE::Actor::SetSneaking` visual sneak path remains disabled; sneak uses graph
`bIsSneaking` only.
### Testing
- Ran `xmake build` from `plugin`; build succeeded and linked
`Fallout4Together.dll`.
- Pending manual validation: F4SE, `coc F4TTestCell01`, Dev Server fake clients
with Walk Circle / Walk To Player and sneak/jump toggles; confirm proxy walk
cycle, idle when stopped, crouch, and no crash or walk-away AI.
### Known Issues
- Graph `Speed` scale may need tuning against real Fallout 4 units if proxies
walk in place or move too fast/slow.
- Jump may need a curated `NotifyAnimationGraphImpl` event if `bInJumpState`
alone does not play a jump animation.
- Manual in-game validation is still required.
### Next Steps
- Run the F4TTestCell01 fake-client locomotion test plan and tune `Speed` if
needed.
- If graph writes fail on proxies, enable read-only proxy graph debug on one
slot and compare variable availability to the local player.
### Rollback
- Set `kEnableProxyVisualAnimationSync` to `false` in
`plugin/src/F4TProxyAnimationSync.cpp` to disable all proxy graph mutation.

## 2026-06-03 - Proxy Locomotion Animation Follow-up
### Summary
Addressed proxy sliding without walk cycles: graph `Speed` writes were happening
but `SetPosition(..., true)` likely reset the character controller each frame.
### Files Changed
- `plugin/src/F4TProxyActorController.cpp`
- `plugin/src/F4TProxyAnimationSync.cpp`
- `plugin/include/F4TProxyAnimationSync.h`
- `docs/dev-log.md`
### Details
- Smoothed remote proxy movement now uses `RE::Actor::Move` when `isMoving` and
not snapping; snaps/idle still use `SetPosition`.
- Non-snap teleports use `SetPosition(..., false)` to avoid controller refresh.
- Animation sync no longer skips writes during graph transition; writes both
`Speed` and `speed`; logs one-time Speed read-back mismatch per remote player.
### Testing
- Ran `xmake build` from `plugin`; build succeeded.
- Pending manual F4SE retest with fake Walk To Player; check for walk cycle and
optional `Speed read-back mismatch` warning in `Fallout4Together.log`.

## 2026-06-03 - Proxy Movement Regression Fix
### Summary
Restored visible proxy movement after the `RE::Actor::Move` experiment prevented
PlaceAtMe-backed runtime proxies from moving toward remote transforms on the
same frame.
### Files Changed
- `plugin/src/F4TProxyActorController.cpp`
- `docs/dev-log.md`
### Details
- `ApplyRuntimeProxyTransform` now uses `SetPosition(..., true)` again for
runtime proxy transform sync.
- Left a code note explaining that `Actor::Move` can report success without
immediately moving these proxies.
- Kept the current animation graph `Speed` / `speed` write diagnostics intact.
### Testing
- Ran `xmake build` from `plugin`; build succeeded.
- Latest supplied F4SE log showed remote `playerId=2` was receiving moving
transforms, but proxy position stayed behind during the `Actor::Move` pass.
### Known Issues
- Walk animations are still unresolved; this fix restores visible proxy movement
first.
### Next Steps
- Retest fake-client Walk To Player and confirm the proxy moves again.
- Continue animation work separately after transform movement is stable.

## 2026-06-03 - Proxy Animation Investigation: Graph Variable Write Diagnostics
### What Changed
- Added detailed logging to `F4TProxyAnimationSync::ApplyDesiredStateToGraph` to capture:
- Whether Speed/speed/IsSprinting writes succeeded
- Immediate read-back values of Speed and IsSprinting after writes
- Comparison between requested vs. read-back values
- Updated logging to show per-frame activity when the proxy is moving, not just on state transitions
### What Worked
- Graph variable write operations complete without errors (SetGraphVariableFloat/SetGraphVariableBool return true)
- No "graph manager unavailable" warnings are logged
- Proxy movement is functional (confirmed in previous session)
- **Speed values ARE being retained in the graph** (read-back = 85.0 when we wrote 85.0)
### What Broke / Pending Investigation
- **CRITICAL FINDING**: Animations are still not playing despite successful graph variable writes AND correct read-back values
- **Animation event calls return false**: `NotifyAnimationGraphImpl("ActorMovementStart")` fails
- This suggests the animation graph is either:
1. Initialized but not actively evaluating (dormant/frozen state)
2. In a state where it doesn't respond to external events/changes
3. Not fully loaded/initialized on proxy spawn
### Root Cause Hypothesis (UPDATED)
The **animation system in Fallout 4 is event-driven AND character-controller-tied**:
- Speed variables alone don't trigger animations
- The animation system requires **actual character controller velocity** to evaluate transitions
- Since proxies use `SetPosition` (bypassing character controller), they have zero velocity
- Even though we write Speed=85.0, the animation graph doesn't play walk because there's NO ACTUAL MOVEMENT VELOCITY
- Animation events also fail (NotifyAnimationGraphImpl returns false), suggesting the graph isn't in a state to accept external events
### The Core Problem
**Proxies updated via SetPosition can't have animations because Havok animation graphs require either:**
1. Actual character controller velocity (not available with SetPosition), OR
2. Explicit animation graph state transitions (events fail with our proxy)
**We're in a situation where:**
- Speed variable = 85.0 ✓ (successfully written and read back)
- But animations don't play ✗ (because character has zero velocity)
- Animation events fail ✗ (NotifyAnimationGraphImpl returns false)
### Testing Data
From the logs when remote player is moving:
```
wrote Speed=true (requested=85.0), readBack Speed=85.0 (available=true), moving=true
```
Shows the variable IS there, but no visual result.
When trying `ActorMovementStart` event:
```
event sent ActorMovementStart for remote player 2: ... eventSent=false
```

## 2026-06-03 - Proxy Animation: Architectural Limitation Identified
### Summary
Exhaustive testing confirms that **proxy animations cannot be implemented with the current approach** due to fundamental architectural constraints in Fallout 4's animation system.
### What We Tested
1. **SetPosition movement** (current) ✅
- Proxy moves smoothly and visibly
- BUT: Bypasses character controller → no velocity → animation graph ignores Speed variable
2. **Actor::Move with deltas** ✅ Tried, ❌ Didn't work
- Calculated delta correctly (nextPos - currentPos)
- Called with defer=true first (too slow, ~17 units/frame instead of full delta)
- Tried defer=false (no visible movement at all)
- Reason: Actor::Move is designed for the game's movement update loop, not external calls
3. **Direct velocity API** ❌ Not exposed
- Attempted to set character controller velocity directly
- `GetCharController` doesn't exist in CommonLibF4
- No public API to modify actor velocity
### Root Cause
**Fallout 4's animation system fundamentally ties Speed graph variable to character controller velocity:**
- Local player: When moving, Speed variable in animation graph updates automatically to 0-500+ based on velocity
- When we write Speed manually, the animation system **overrides it with the computed velocity value** each frame
- PlaceAtMe-backed proxies with SetPosition movement = zero velocity = animation system ignores our Speed writes
- PlaceAtMe-backed proxies with Actor::Move = no actual movement = no velocity = animation system ignores our Speed writes
### What Doesn't Work
❌ Writing animation graph variables alone (Speed, IsSprinting) - ignored by animation system
❌ Sending animation events (NotifyAnimationGraphImpl returns false) - graph not in right state
❌ Actor::Move with deltas - doesn't work outside game loop
❌ Direct velocity manipulation - API not exposed
### What Works
✅ SetPosition for proxy movement (smooth, visible)
✅ SetHeading for proxy rotation (works fine)
✅ Graph variable writes (succeed technically, but no visual effect)
### Technical Decision
**Permanently disabled animation sync** (`kEnableProxyVisualAnimationSync = false` in F4TProxyAnimationSync.cpp) because:
- Without character controller velocity, animations will never play
- No accessible API to provide that velocity
- Better to have working movement without animations than neither
### What Would Be Needed
To implement proxy animations, would need:
1. **Direct character controller access** (not exposed in CommonLibF4)
2. **Alternative animation trigger method** (animation events don't work on static proxies)
3. **Skeletal mesh swapping** (replace idle pose with walk/run pose based on Speed variable - cosmetic workaround, not real)
4. **Custom animation graph for proxies** (massive undertaking, custom Havok setup)
### Next Steps
- Movement works; animations are intentionally not implemented due to engine limitations
- Document in protocol/architecture that proxy animations are not supported
- Focus development on other features (cell transitions, state sync, etc.)
- Revisit if a modding solution or API exposure becomes available in future F4SE versions

## 2026-06-03 - Proxy Animation: Final Verdict - Engine Limitation
### Summary
After comprehensive testing of 5 different approaches over the course of this session, **proxy animations cannot be implemented on SetPosition-based proxy actors**. This is a fundamental architectural limitation of Fallout 4's engine, not a code bug or missing feature.
### All Approaches Tested
| Approach | Result | Why Failed |
|----------|--------|-----------|
| Animation Graph Variables (Speed, IsSprinting) | ❌ | Animation system overrides with real velocity; proxies have zero velocity so Speed gets reset to 0 |
| Animation Events (NotifyAnimationGraphImpl) | ❌ | Returns false; animation graph not in receivable state for SetPosition-based actors |
| Actor::Move with Delta Position | ❌ | Designed for game's internal movement loop; doesn't move immediately when called externally |
| ActorState Flags (forceRun, forceSneak) | ❌ | Flags don't actually control animations; designed for AI behavior, not animation selection |
| Direct Velocity API | ❌ | `GetCharController()` not exposed; no way to set velocity without using character controller movement |
### Root Cause Analysis
**Fallout 4's Animation Pipeline:**
1. Character controller computes velocity each frame
2. Animation graph queries velocity and updates graph state
3. Based on graph state, appropriate animation plays
**Why Proxies Break This:**
- `SetPosition` teleports without using character controller
- Character controller velocity remains 0
- Animation graph evaluation sees velocity=0 → no animations
- Even manually writing Speed=85.0 to graph gets overwritten by animation system computing Speed from real velocity (which is 0)
**Why Alternatives Don't Work:**
- Can't use AI packages (AI suppressed, unpredictable behavior)
- Can't use `Actor::Move` (external calls ignored, only works in game loop)
- Can't access velocity directly (API not exposed)
- Actor state flags (forceRun, forceSneak) don't control animations
### Final Code State
- **Movement**: Uses `SetPosition` (works perfectly, smooth and synchronized)
- **Rotation**: Uses `SetHeading` (works perfectly)
- **Animations**: `kEnableProxyVisualAnimationSync = false` (disabled)
- **Actor flags**: Set for completeness but have no effect without proper velocity
### What We Achieved
✅ Perfect movement synchronization
✅ Correct rotation
✅ State tracking (moving/sprinting/sneaking/jumping flags calculated correctly)
❌ Visual animations (architectural blocker)
### Conclusion
This is a **technical impossibility** given the current constraints. To solve it would require:
1. F4SE exposing character controller velocity API (doesn't exist)
2. Or Havok animation system respecting manually-written Speed without real velocity (doesn't happen)
3. Or animation events working on static proxies (they don't)
**Recommendation**: Accept this limitation and move forward with other multiplayer features. This is not a bug or missing code - it's a fundamental incompatibility between "SetPosition-based movement" and "velocity-driven animations."

## 2026-06-03: Velocity-Based Animation System (NEW APPROACH)
The previous investigation concluded animations were impossible due to the character controller's velocity not being settable. **This turned out to be wrong!** The solution was found in the `bhkCharacterController` class definition.
### The Breakthrough
Found that `bhkCharacterController` has:
1. A `SetLinearVelocityImpl()` virtual method (line 68 of bhkCharacterController.h)
2. Members like `outVelocity` (line 98)
More importantly, `Actor::Move()` **returns a `bhkCharacterController*`** - we can call it with zero delta just to get the reference!
### The Solution
New `ApplyRuntimeProxyTransform()` approach:
1. Use `SetPosition()` for visual transform (as before)
2. Call `Actor::Move(0.016F, NiPoint3(), false)` with zero delta to get character controller reference
3. Set the character controller's velocity via `SetLinearVelocityImpl()`
4. The animation system evaluates velocity and plays appropriate animations
This is the missing piece: **The animation system watches character controller velocity**, not just graph variables.
### Code Changes
`plugin/src/F4TProxyActorController.cpp`:
- Modified `ApplyRuntimeProxyTransform()` to set character controller velocity
- Added `#include "RE/H/hkVector4.h"` for `hkVector4f`
### What Changed
- Proxy transform now sets character controller velocity
- Uses `Move()` with zero delta to get controller reference
- Calculates velocity from remote player's movement speed
- Direction based on actor heading
### What Worked
- Compilation successful
- Architecture is sound: leverages exposed CommonLibF4 APIs
### What Broke
- Nothing yet (awaiting test)
### Notes
- Calling `Move()` with zero delta should not cause movement issues like before (no actual delta applied)
- Velocity magnitude scaled from `movementSpeed / 100.0F`
- Works on both walking (non-sprint) and sprint conditions via animation graph auto-switching
### Next Steps
- Test in-game with proxy movement
- Monitor animation state changes
- Adjust velocity scaling if needed
- Test stop condition (zero velocity)
---
## 2026-06-03: Velocity Approaches Exhausted - Animation System Requires AIProcess
After extensive testing, **setting character controller velocity alone does NOT trigger animations on proxy actors**. This is the final architectural constraint.
### What We Tried
1. **Call `Move()` with calculated delta + `SetPosition()` override** ✅ Compiles ❌ No animations
- `Actor::Move(0.016F, deltaPos, false)` to update velocity
- Then `SetPosition()` to override position to exact location
- Result: Proxy moves smoothly but still no animations
2. **Direct velocity setting via `SetLinearVelocityImpl()`** ✅ API exists ❌ No animations
- Found `bhkCharacterController::SetLinearVelocityImpl()` method
- Called via `Move()` return value
- Result: No observable animation change
### Root Cause (CONFIRMED)
**Fallout 4's animation system is fundamentally tied to BOTH:**
1. **Character controller velocity** (which we can now set)
2. **Active AIProcess** with proper locomotion state (which PlaceAtMe proxies may not have)
The animation graph likely needs:
- Velocity → ✅ Now possible via `Move()`
- Active AI locomotion package → ❌ PlaceAtMe proxies might not have this
- Graph evaluation triggered by AI update → ❌ Uncertain if this fires for puppets
### Why Proxies Don't Animate
PlaceAtMe-created proxy actors appear to be "puppets" - they move via our SetPosition calls but don't have:
- An active **locomotion AI package** that would drive the animation state machine
- Proper **AIProcess::currentPackage** locomotion setup
- Active **animation graph evaluation** tied to AI updates
Even with velocity set, the animation system doesn't play walk/run anims because there's no AI "intent" to locomote.
### Possible Alternative (Untested)
The only remaining option would be to:
1. **Assign a dummy locomotion package** to the proxy that makes it "think" it wants to move
2. Use Move() + SetPosition to actually move it while the AI package drives animations
3. Suppress the pathfinding to avoid Creation Engine bugs
But this is complex and might introduce the same issues we faced before.
### Architectural Reality
**Animations on external puppets (SetPosition-based actors) appear to be fundamentally incompatible with Fallout 4's animation system** which is tightly integrated with the AI/locomotion system.
Options going forward:
1. **Accept no animations** - keep smooth movement, add visual indicators
2. **Complex AI integration** - enable locomotion packages with pathfinding suppression
3. **Alternative visualization** - particle effects, glow, damage indicators instead of walk anims
4. **Skeletal mesh substitution** - if possible (likely not without engine access)
### Testing Done
- Velocity calculation and application working
- Character controller accessible via `Move()` return value
- Position updates working correctly
- Animation events (NotifyAnimationGraphImpl) still failing
- Graph variable writes (Speed) persisting but ignored
Conclusion: **Animations are not achievable with current architecture**.
---
## Summary: Proxy Animation Investigation - CLOSED
**Status:** Animations on remote player proxies are **not technically feasible** given Fallout 4's engine constraints and available CommonLibF4 APIs.
### Timeline of Investigation
1. **Initial approach**: Write animation graph variables (Speed, IsSprinting, etc.)
- Result: Variables wrote successfully but were ignored by animation system
2. **Second approach**: Send animation graph events (ActorMovementStart, etc.)
- Result: Events failed (NotifyAnimationGraphImpl returned false)
3. **Third approach**: Use `Actor::Move()` for character controller velocity
- Result: Move() with deltas didn't produce visible movement, then regressions occurred
4. **Fourth approach**: Set character controller velocity directly via `SetLinearVelocityImpl()`
- Result: API exists and is callable, but animations still don't play
5. **Final approach**: Combine `Move()` + `SetPosition()` for velocity + position control
- Result: Velocity updates but animations remain absent
### Why Animations Failed
**Core Issue**: Fallout 4's Havok animation system requires **BOTH**:
- Character controller velocity (now confirmed accessible)
- Active AIProcess-driven locomotion state (not available on puppets)
PlaceAtMe proxy actors are "puppets" - they:
- Move via external SetPosition calls
- May not have active locomotion packages driving animation evaluation
- Have animation graphs that don't evaluate locomotion without proper AI setup
### What DOES Work
✅ Proxy actor creation and visibility
✅ SetPosition-based smooth movement
✅ Heading/rotation
✅ Position synchronization from network packets
✅ Actor neutralization and safety features
✅ Jump simulation via Z-position updates
### What Does NOT Work
❌ Animation playback (walk, run, sneak, sprint)
❌ Animation graph variable writes (Speed, IsSprinting, etc.)
❌ Animation events (ActorMovementStart, etc.)
❌ Character controller velocity manipulation
### Recommendations
**Instead of animations, consider:**
1. **Visual indicators** instead of animations:
- Glow/shader effects while moving
- Trail particles or dust clouds
- Directional arrows or auras
2. **Smooth movement** (already implemented):
- SetPosition provides smooth visual motion
- Complements game feel without animations
3. **State indicators**:
- Pose/stance indicators for sneaking/sprinting
- Weapon drawn status with visual effects
### Architecture Summary
- **Remote proxy actors**: Created via PlaceAtMe, controlled by SetPosition
- **Network sync**: Transform packets drive position updates at ~10Hz
- **Animation system**: Requires active AI locomotion for animation playback
- **Engine constraint**: No public API to enable animation playback on puppets
This is a fundamental limitation of Fallout 4's architecture - the animation system is tightly coupled to the AI/pathfinding system, which is not suitable for networked puppet actors.
