Looping Animations and animating a scene

Support Animation and Rigging

I’m getting ready to animate a fight scene and I’m trying to figure out what the best way to approach it would be and if certain things are possible (this is my first time attempting to animate a whole scene). I have a few questions about animating that I haven’t been able to find any real answers for using google.

How would i go about having a character repeat/loop an animation (such as walking/running) to a location and then have that animation stop looping and continue with another animation (like character repeats walk animation until they reach their destination, then they jump and do a flip, or something along those lines)?

and my second question is is it possible to store multiple animations in some sort of an animation library? Like animating a walk cycle which I can reuse whenever I need it it?

Ok, for the first problem, just go into the Dope Sheet and box select (keycut ‘b’) all of the points that make up the animation you want to copy then just paste them until you have as many as you want. For the second thing, just save the animation as an action (http://www.panduaji.com/2012/08/save-animation-action-in-blender.html). Hope that helps.
