i'm looking for an equivalent for "idle animations" but refering to random speech or commentary by the characters in a game. like when the duke says something like "your face. your ass. what's the difference".

i hope you know what i mean Very Happy

well, after thinking about it, generally the "talk" isnt really idle, but usually scripted. For example in the build games like shadow warrior or duke nukem 3d you had "pseudo-random" 'smack-talk' in the game as reaction to kills of monsters. Or scripted one-liner commentary in certain situations (like when finding lara croft's, the doom guy's or the terminator's dead body).

true "idle" talk is pretty seldom in games. And usually accompanied by the above-mentioned animations. So maybe it is enough to describe it as "idle animations with sometimes witty commentary" and "scripted random or pseudo-random one-liners"

Build games did have this tho, if you stood around long enough without moving. "What are you waiting for, christmas?" Very Happy
