Animal Ped QoL Suggestions

As someone who plays an animal ped daily, which has become my main character. I spend a lot of time thinking of ways to improve the experience. I’ve got 2 suggestions right now that will benefit all of the dog animal users.

Entering/Exiting Vehicle Animation

I checked the forums and it seems like someone made a suggestion of this a year ago but I wanted to bring it up because I think it’s the biggest issue. Animal Peds use the human animation for getting into vehicles, and since the bones aren’t rigged for it you get some cursed looking moments.

In the base GTAV when you have Chop, he has an animation for the vehicles.

Additionally, due to the animation it makes you shut the door- the door will close and hit the ped, making it fall and sometimes taking damage. I have def been incapacitated by it before..😅

Incapacitated Animation

Currently the incapacitated animation for dog peds is the same “passout” as humans. Just like above, the bones are not rigged for this and makes the ped not only disappear into the ground as they are lower to it, but put them in a ball.

I don’t know of any animations that could replace it but I was thinking maybe just making the ped ragdoll as an alternative? This would be useful because for people to find you when you are incapacitated, most times you have to resort to a /me to indicate it.
