Add animation related functions

Nice u work fast!

What about these functions:

• getPedAnimationLength(string block, string anim)
• isPedDoingAnimation(ped/player ped, string anim)
• getAnimationsInBlock(string block)

• getAnimationsInBlock(string block)

I will add getPedAnimationLength in a sec (it will take current animation though for simplicity)

isPedDoingAnimation would just be a shortcut for getPedAnimation

I dont see a point in getAnimationsInBlock function.

Ah yes forgive me I forgot about getPedAnimation

getAnimationsinBlock could be an useful getter. I can imagine it being used after loading a custom IFP with engineLoadIFP to check what animations are contained inside the custom block.

Well, let me clear up some things, getPedAnimation would function closer to setPedAnimationSpeed(ped, 1) actually. The true purpose is not to get the animation set by setPedAnimation but to get any animation that is currently being done by the ped, specifically natural animations that are used during gameplay.
Saying this now, I realize that most probably didn't even know that set ped animation speed/progress doesn't only work on scripted animations. XD Like I said, personal research.
getAnimationsInBlock would be useful for detecting animations added in .IFPs as one usecase. Think of the potential to have walking animations auto imported or auto add anims to the freeroam resource.

As for getPedAnimationLength, the intention was to have some millisecond reference to go along with setAnimationProgress, as this is relative to the animation length, would be nice if this could be pulled from the "(block, anim)" instead of the "(ped, anim)"

getPedAnimationProgress isnt relative so getting its length wont be either

But setPedAnimationProgress is relative (0-1 irrespective of animation length in ms), so I think getPedAnimationProgress should do the same, and following this logic, getPedAnimationLength would be the function to fetch the progress relative to time. IE: currAnimRuntime = getPedAnimationProgress(ped, anim)*getAnimationLength(block, anim)

I suppose getPedAnimationLength(ped, anim) could also be a thing and would more closely resemble this comment below.
