Make'em speak

[Thunderbird]

As a musician/sound guy myself, sometimes you wonder if there's a way to make your character speak (just the animation that opens his mouth). By setting voice volume to 0, you want to record lines of your own to fill dialogues.

 

I only came up with taunt/flourish/gloat cmds and the Voice chat cmds.

 

For those who are curious: Voice chat cmds can be bound to keys, the cmds are listed here : http://strategy.jediknight.net/jka/voicechat.shtml

Of course you have to be careful about two things: the chat bubble and the text appearing in the middle, you might want to avoid them being part of the shot, unless you want to use the text as subtitles.

 

Have you guys, other ideas to make your character do the animation opening his mouth?

Maybe @@ent can implement a command that makes the character say something. This is a commonly requested thing with video making I think.

I thought about it. But it's all based on my lazyness and amount of requests for the feature that are under 9000.
