want an interactable npc where the player and npc do an animation (e.g. handshake, high-five, etc.), but i've got no clue where and how to start. (artist's (mine) rendition of idea provided below)
any links/videos that could help? (singleplayer game, does not need to sync for other players)

teleport both characters to correct position for the animation, then play an animation on both characters at the same time. or (way more advanced technique) use ik and a bunch of movement ai to make them walk to good-enough positions and then play the animation.

#

or, even easier, clone both characters into the correct location, then play an animation on both characters and the camera, so the camera is actually looking at 2 dummy humanoids, and the actual characters are off screen or invisibile or whathaveyou.
