I spawn local NPC to save server performance. But since Version 1.30.0 they are in T-Pos and Arms will not be close to Body.
In Version before you can spawn an NPC local and the Arms will be close to Body.

I did several tests to bring them back to "normal" Pose, but there is no possibility for that i found.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start a dedicated server with vanilla Chernarus and join with a client.

2. On the client (multiplayer, not in the main menu), run:

   vector pos = <position near the player>;
   PlayerBase npc = PlayerBase.Cast(g_Game.CreateObject("SurvivorM_Jose", pos, true, false, false));
   npc.SetPosition(pos);
   npc.SetOrientation(Vector(0, 0, 0));
   

3. Look at the character.

Expected result: The character stands in the idle pose with the arms at its sides, as in 1.29.
Actual result: The character stays in the bind pose with the arms spread and never animates.

Variants tested, all still in bind pose:

Variant Result

CreateObject(type, pos, true, false, false) (local, no AI, no physics)bind pose

same, without ClearEventMask(EntityEvent.ALL) afterwardsbind pose

CreateObject(type, pos, true, false, true) (with physics)bind pose

CreateObject(type, pos, true, true, true) (with init_ai)bind pose

CreateObjectEx(type, pos, ECE_LOCAL | ECE_CREATEPHYSICS | ECE_INITAI | ECE_SETUP)bind pose

+ StartCommand_Move() after 2 sbind pose

+ GetItemAccessor().OnItemInHandsChanged(true) after 2 sbind pose

+ RefreshHandAnimationState() immediately and after 500 msbind pose

+ SetAnimationInstanceByName("dz/anims/workspaces/player/player_main/player_main.asi", 0) immediately / after 2 sbind pose

+ DisableSimulation(false)

+ SetAnimationInstanceByName(...)bind pose

+ GetItemAccessor().EnableAutoAnimInstUpdateOnHandsChange(true)

+ OnItemInHandsChanged(true, true) after 2 sbind pose

init_ai + SetAnimationInstanceByName(...) + StartCommand_Move()bind pose

Control test (works):
The same class spawned by the server with g_Game.CreateObject("SurvivorM_Jose", pos, false, false, true) is shown on the client in the correct idle pose.

Notes

• The script side of character initialization (PlayerBase, DayZPlayerImplement, Human, intro scene) shows no change between 1.29 and 1.30 that would explain this. The regression therefore appears to be engine-side: a locally created Human on a multiplayer client is apparently no longer simulated or animated.

• New 1.30 script APIs such as Human.SetAnimationInstanceByName and HumanItemAccessor.EnableAutoAnimInstUpdateOnHandsChange do not restore the animation.

• Not tested: the retail DayZ_x64.exe client.

Impact: Every mod that uses client-side NPCs for performance reasons (traders, quest givers, decorative characters) shows them in T-pose in 1.30. The only workaround is spawning them server-side, which costs server performance and network traffic.
