RequestAnimSet vs RequestAnimDict

What is the difference between

RequestAnimSet

void REQUEST_ANIM_SET(char* animSet);

RequestAnimDict

void REQUEST_ANIM_DICT(char* animDict);

I see both and they both seem to work… one for scenario and one for anim ?

its for this… and also to understand how things work

  function loadAnimDict(Anim)
    while not HasAnimDictLoaded(Anim) do
      RequestAnimDict(Anim) -- RequestAnimSet
      Wait(100)
    end
  end
2

Request it then wait, don’t loop while it’s not loaded then request.

  function loadAnimDict(Anim)
    RequestAnimDict(Anim) -- But should i use this instead --> RequestAnimSet(Anim)
    while not HasAnimDictLoaded(Anim) do
      Wait(100)
    end
  end

The natives is unclear for me…

RequestAnimDict is used to request the dictionary of an animation, so you will then be able to use TaskPlayAnim.
RequestAnimSet is used to request a clipset of a ped movement so then you will be able to use SetPedMovementClipset.
