# Animation Patcher

By default, most animations have the **Jaw Close** property set to `0`.\
However, **Sidekick** and many other character models require this value to be set to `1` for the mouth to appear closed.

The **Animation Patcher** tool automatically corrects this by patching animation clips to ensure the jaw remains properly closed.

### Usage

1. **Open the Animation Patcher**\
   From the toolbar, select:\
   \&#xNAN;**`Tools > HeroBridge Standalone > Animation Patcher`**
2. **Select Animations to Patch**
   * Drag and drop a **single Animation Clip**, or
   * Select an **entire folder** containing animations to process, or
   * Click **Patch ALL** to patch all supported animations in the project
3. **Set the Property Name**\
   In the **Property Name** field, specify the key that should be modified inside the animation.
   * Default: **Jaw Close**
   * Most animations use this property name
4. **Run the Patch**

   * Click **Patch Animations** to patch the selected animations, or
   * Click **Patch ALL** to process every supported animation in the project

   The patch operation **inverts the value**. Running the patch a second time will restore the original value.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fullscreen.no/info/standalone-assets/herobridge-standalone/setup-guide/animation-patcher.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
