Height Body Presets Without the Need of Height Slider: Solving the Animation Problem

Giving players a Height Slider is complicated due to the effect it would have on coded animations, but right now the female preset is shorter than the male preset, which give us a possibility to have different heights by allowing us to choose the frame independently from the gender.

  • Enable male Zois to have a body as short as the current default female body.
  • Enable female Zois to have a body as tall as the current default male body.

Please correct me if I am wrong but in this case devs would only have to assign the already existing animations linked to body type instead of gender if that makes sense.

This would allow us to have shorter and taller zois without entering chaos territory!

This is an extreme good idea and work around. Possibly solving the time delimia or redoing and adjusting animations and accommodations!

i wonder what Kjun thinks? See if you can post the idea to next upcoming most the discord’s brainmstorm with Kjun when it goes live or another relevant brainstorm.

Thank you! I hadn’t thought about sharing it there but I definitely will. I’ll try Discord since it seems to be getting more direct responses.

yes we do really need height sliders and it would be a trending feature……:smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :blush: and thanks if you plan on adding it.

I do believe it would be popular! I tried to think of a way the devs could add some height differences without creating too much trouble due to animations etc., I hope Kjun and the team pick up on it and think about it. Fingers crossed!

Yes, that is cool idea. I think it’s also possible to solve the animation problem by refining Zoi skeleton IK system. For example: if Zoi is missing an item due to her low height, then a special animation is played that the item cannot be reached and the action is canceled - just like in real life!

I am begging for different heights. @JoyIsFunner brought to my attention that others already made ideas about different heights. This is something I really want to see and your idea seems similar to the one I posted on the recent Kjun brainstorm (post below). Thank you for visualizing it and explaining it with your post​:four_leaf_clover:
