[FEATURE] Additional Modding Components

[CrookedDesk]

Describe your idea

At the moment: we have ME Remover, ME Manipulator, and ME Clothes.
I understand full-well that an official option to modify any scripts will never be released due to potential for harm.

But if an "ME Animations" and/or "ME Triggers" component could be implemented, that would be awesome!
I love MateEngine because of it's potential for custom characters and I think this would greatly extend the modding possibilities without introducing any potential for malicious scripts / bad actors.

An example of what I mean:

---

ME Animations: a simple "ME Manipulator" style component that points to an existing "Animation" asset (PET_DRAGGING.anim, etc) and an imported animation asset to replace it with. I don't think ME Manipulator is currently capable of this? ME Manipulator can only replace objects currently in the "scene" (please correct me if I'm mistaken).

---

ME Triggers: similar to "ME Manipulator" but would have several parameters.
First param points to a bone (head, lower_left_arm, etc)
Second param is checklist of allowed/required/blocked states (isSitting, isDancing, isidle, isHandHolding, etc)
Third param points to an animation and/or sound effects.

When bone from first param is clicked (provided in an allowed state) : plays animation and/or sounds.

An example use-case of METriggers:
[ bone = Head ]
[ isHandHolding required, isSitting/isDancing blocked ]
[ animation = custom_twirl.anim ]
^ while idle, if you grab the models hand and click on their head- it plays custom_twirl.anim (while maintaining the hand-holding of course ofc :P hahaha)

see these "mock-ups":

Why is this useful?

I think this greatly extends the potential of MateEngine modding well beyond the currently supported "asset search/replace/remove", but does so without allowing for bad actors to inject malicious scripts.

Confirmation

• I confirm this request includes only one feature.

I know full-well that this is a huge feature to implement, and one that caters to a (probably?) minority of your consumers - so I'm not under any illusion it's a realistic request.

BUT- I had the idea and wanted to get it out of my system lol. No harm no foul if it's way too much.

As a side-note though, it does sort of cement the idea that if a custom model doesn't sync properly with your animations, it's entirely on the modder to just install new animations. Takes them out of your hair completely (I'd hope?) as it gives them the necessary tools to fix that themselves. (even though they shouldn't be bothering you about that to begin with lmao)
