Emote

[MiRai]

My first post and I'm not 100% sure if this is the place this belongs but I'll ask anyway. I'm trying to create a machinima scene and I'd like some NPCs to /kneel and stay kneeling. After doing numerous searches for emoteid lists there seem to be 2 possible emoteids for this which are:

EMOTE ONESHOT KNEEL : 16

EMOTE STATE KNEEL : 68

Now if I use 16 they will /kneel as they should but they stand right back up a second later. Unfortunately, emoteid 68 seems to do nothing for me even though numerous lists show it as the state to make NPCs stay knelt down. I tested the emoteid 68 on a few other emulated servers and it does nothing as well. So I am confused as to whether my emoteid is incorrect or I am going about this completely wrong. So my question is: Is there a way to make NPCs /kneel and stay kneeling down until I change their emoteid?

Thank you.
