Event for when an emote is played?

[ForeverHD (Ben)]

For the new Avatar Emotes, is there an event for when a player uses an emote?

For example, something like…

humanoid.EmotePlayed:Connect(function(emoteName, emoteId)
	print(humanoid.Parent.Name, "played emote:", emoteName)
end)

I’m pretty sure there is no way currently, but an old method I did was editing the animation script itself ( this was another topic I helped a user out with, they needed to get the animation ID ) ;

IDs for new ROBLOX animations to load them into NPCs?

If you would like me to send the script I can, all I did was add a statement in every area where an emote is played; print(emote.AnimationId) Here is the Shy animation ID it printed; http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=3337978742 And here is the shrug animation ID it printed; http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=3334392772 Pretty hacky solution, but there ya go.

I’ll be using this for an open source project in other peoples games, so in an ideal world I’d like completely avoid modifying core/default scripts. If no one else comes up with a better proposal, I’ll make a feature request for this.

Funny that the Humanoid has a PlayEmote function but not an EmotePlayed signal. Usually those kinds of things come in doubles.

You’ll most likely need a Feature Request for this. I checked the PlayEmote command module and the Animate script to no avail. The least I found was Humanoid.PlayEmote and a PlayEmote BindableFunction. So close yet so far, huh.
