How to make a character do an action?
I put this keyframe on a timeline and ran the button to the keyframe but he does nothing when I press square. In fact he randomly does the keyframe animation about 2 seconds after posessing him when nothing else is pressed. I also have the animation on loop because I want it to happen every time I press the button and to happen over and over again if the button is held. Also how can I add a sculpt to appear only in the keyframe for this action. Tried to just sculpt it while editing the keyframe but it wont let me sculpt or paint. I wanted him to throw discs or bombs or something. Thank you for any help!

Regarding showing a sculpt while keyframe is active, you just need to keyframe the power button on the sculpt's tweak menu.

Awesome I got it thanks davidnorth!!

To clarify I got the sculpt to show up during the keyframe by using the power. I dont think you can delete it permanently? Any idea how to find it once its powered off? Haha and I still have the original question.

Is your button wired to the keyframe inside the timeline, or just to the timeline power?
I've found looping animations aren't great for a button press, because the timeline stores where the playhead is at - so you could get half way through an animation, let go of the button going back to default pose, and then when you press again you're part way through the animation. Maybe you could also create logic to reset the playhead after button-off, but that's an extra step.
