Smooth, Unarmed Transition from On Back to Standing

[HateDread 13]

Hey all,

As the title suggests, I'm trying to get a smooth animation transition from a player lying on their back, to standing. The problem is that I can't seem to find a way that's compatible with the lack of weapons.

I'm currently using AinjPpneMstpSnonWrflDnon_rolltoback, at mission start, so player begins on their back. On queue (as a result of an addaction), I want the player to stand. I tried using AinjPpneMstpSnonWrflDnon_rolltofront to get the player into a position from which he can normally stand, but the animation requires a weapon - in my attempts, the player is holding an invisible rifle.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Cheers,

EDIT: Using the animation viewer ( ), I have managed to find some useful animations. (Namely AinjPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon_rolltofront instead of AinjPpneMstpSnonWrflDnon_rolltofront, etc.

Now I i'm wondering how to tell via script commands when the rolling to front is completed, so I can execute a stand. How does one determine when the animation is finished? Is it Animationstate? And if so, how does it determine the animation has ended? I thought the animation continues until told to stop?

Cheers.

Record yourself doing this and put it in as a video cutscene. Or just play some news footage of people standing up. Precise and fluid animations is not one of ArmA's strongpoints. :)

Animationstate is for stuff like "is the landing gear down" not "is whatever move completed".

Okay, how about...

How do I tell the player has stood up? :)

waitUntil {animationState _unit != "AinjPpneMstpSnonWrflDnon_rolltofront"};

_hasStoodUp =
{
    _unit = _this;
    _anim = toArray(toLower(animationState _unit));

    _return = false;
    if (count _anim > 7) then
    {
         _anim = toString([_anim select 4, _anim select 5, _anim select 6, _anim select 7]);
         if (_anim == "perc") then
         {
              _return = true;
         };
    };
    _return
};

waitUntil {_unit call _hasStoodUp};
// ...

Deadfast, you're a digital god. Thank you.

Now my question is, what is the anim for 'standing' once lying on stomach via AmovPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon_healed. Is there a player playmove "stand" or something I can use?

Cheers.
