Hello, I've recently gotten to a point where I've finished making an idle animation for one of my works, and I want to incorporate what I call an 'Idle Break' animation.
Essentially just a short animation that plays in between idle animation loops at fixed intervals. To be specific, this character's idle animation is to strum her bass guitar, then look to the headstock to tweak the tuning mechanism. After two loops of this animation, I would like her to look up to an enemy, roll her eyes, and go back to her idle.
So, my question is this. What is the best way to go about this? Should I add an extra loop and then do the idle? What would be the best way to go about this? Any advice greatly appreciated!
