Easy Animation Tool

Description
A tool that allows easy animation playback for all entities that have animations. This will not work on Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, Portal 2, CS:GO models, it's a problem with Garry's Mod, not this mod.

Please note that not all models have animations. This tool only shows you animations that the models have.

Information / Usage notes
A lot of useless NPC animations, like gestures, postures and all those T-pose animations, are excluded by default. There is an option to disable this.

Animations on NPCs: You must disable NPC thinking before trying to play an animation, because while thinking is enabled, NPCs will always reset any custom animations you try to play.

Animations on ragdolls: By default ragdolls are impossible to animate, because the physics engine kind of animates them. So as a workaround, I added a "Make Animatable" property for all ragdolls. If will disable physics, but will enable animations.

Animations on props: For some reason, props reset their animations. So as a workaround, I added a "Make Animatable" property for all props as well. If will disable physics, but will enable animations.

Disabling NPC Thinking: Hold C, press "NPCs" button in the menu at the top and select "Disable NPC Thinking".

Hiding the Bounding Boxes for the entire server Set rb655_easy_animation_nobbox_sv to 1 to hide the white boxes for everyone on the server.

Playing series of animations
You can play several animations one by one with this tool. For this you will need to select first entity, click on desired animation, configure animation options and press the Add current selection button. Do this as many times as needed. You can also add timed animations for same entity. Once you have all the animations added to the list, left click anywhere and all the animations should be played.
NOTICE: You cannot play 2 or more animations on the same entity at once!

Notice about "Add more animations" and "This animation is buggy": I DIDN'T make these animations nor I can or will add more animations. This tool gives you every animation for every model if it has any. This fully depends on the model.

When I load up a save, and ragdoll on damage, the ragdoll is doubled like two bodies come out of one. How can I fix that

After about 10 things being animated at once, you cant save animations one any more props. (yes im following the instructions for playing animations on multiple entitys) So the first 10 things
will be animated if i boot up a save, but any other animated props in the same save wont. I was wondering if you could fix this or suggest a workaround. thank you.

May you please add a reset button when you're done with a certain scene? I'm not sure if there is one or I'm just slow, I just get a bit peeved when having to manually delete all keyframes. Please don't rush this, it's just a suggestion after all!

NEVERMIND AGAIN THIS OCCURS ON BOTH THIS MOD AND THE ANIMATED PROPS TOOL,

pRenderable is NULL while enumerating shadows.

apologies this isnt the mod thats causing the issue

it occurs when a animation is play through it's entirety

hey so for some reason, when a animation is applied to a model, it will infinitely create shadows and cause the game to crash when the engine limit is exceeded
