Hello my friend, today im tell you about how i swap animations inside Char_ and NPC_ Packages.
1. we need to identify what animation inside package , we need to use tool which called MK9AnimationRenamer tool by Zepterrian
In folder you need nametable.txt of character, *.animsequence files and renamer tool

Thank you 4 the tutorial. So this method changes only the char's animation but not the projectile? Or it depends?
