Animation Help!

[Akula]

this is so confusing im about to shove my MX down my throat!

How do i get the animations from the Animation Viewer onto the AI Init box, i tried copy+paste but it tells me that "Animation set not recognized".

For Example, the one i wanted was Acts_Abuse_Abuser.

Please Help?

i am embarking on making a short movie about Australian Involvement in ArmA III's campagin and i need to know this.

so you putting down in the init.....?
this switchmove "Acts_abuse_abuser"
you could try playmove instead of switchmove
or could try removing the _ in name.

[Akula]

so, what would i write in the init? switchmove "Acts_Abuse_Absuer"?

Also, big fan hash, Fatigue is reasonable!

[Hash]

so in the unit you want to animate put..........
this switchmove "Acts_abuse_abuser" or this playmove "Acts_abuse_abuser" try that if not could be animation name, i cant seem to find, so try enougher maybe, heres a good vid on viewing the animations in game.....

ok thanks man
so nothing else in the init, just; Playmove "example"?

[Hash]

dont forget "this" lol sry,
so "this" is refering the line to the unit.......

this switchmove "Acts_abuse_abuser"

if you where runnig the line in a trigger you would name the unit say soldier1 and the onactivation line in trigger would be......

soldier1 switchmove "Acts_abuse_abuser"

so if none of that dont work try diffrent animations and\or swap switchmove to playmove have no idea what diff it does but has worked for me at times in A2 but not touched animations so far in A3.

[Akula]

says Missing ;

Wat do!?

[Hash]

hmm are you running more than that line in Init that normally means you running more than one script line, if you are you will need to put ; between seperate line example.....

this switchmove "Acts_abuse_abuser" ; this setbehaviour "combat"

also be sure to only put the animation name in "" example.... "animation"
Ill load A3 up now have a look..

Also just noticed you can view animations just by pressing escape when previewing from editor and select animations and will take you animation viewer.

No dont think so you would have to run the command again i think, or possibly even look at running the commands in a external script should be easier.
