Force NPC to play idle_sad_standing

Hi,

How would I force a different idle to play on my NPC using Spine animations? I want idle_sad_standing to play instead of idle dependent on a global variable. But with all the methods I have tried it doesn't work. Charcater:animate custom does not force it as it seems to ber dictated by the NPC script.

Unity 2021.3.15f1
AC V1.80.5

    You're using the Spine integration on the AC wiki?

    The Character: Animate Action's "Set Standard" method can be used to change the name of the Idle animation at runtime.

    Hi, I am getting this error:

    I have an idle, walk and idle_sad_standing anim embedded in the skeleton animation component on the Spine gameobject sprite child, but do i need to force a animation on the NPC parent with transitions/parameters to force the animation to play when setting standard? See screenshots here, thanks:

    I'm not familiar enough with Spine to answer fully. Does it work if you set the Idle name initialy to idle_sad_standing?
