Locality of animations

[Double Doppler 10]

Are user-made animations (defined in the model .cfg) multiplayer compatible by default? Or do they have to be defined public?

User animations are defined in the .CPP not model.cfg

to answer your wuestion best i can

class AnimationSources

{

class hide_chute

{

source = "user";

animPeriod = 0;

};

};

from .cpp so this must be global because we all see chutes close ?

useraction also for dvere because we see doors close

class AnimationSources

{

class door_1

{

source = "User";

animPeriod = 1;

};

about scripts in useractions that are triggered when <> parmaters

from Mi24_Base

class OpenRdoor

{

displayName = "Open Cargo Door";

position = "right cargo door";

radius = 1.6;

onlyForplayer = 0;

condition = "this animationPhase ""dvere_p_vrch"" < 0.5 && (getpos this select 2) < 3 && (speed this < 3) AND Alive(this)";

statement = "[this] exec ""ca\air2\Mi35\data\scripts\rdoorop.sqs""";

};

from this it would say yes this statement is triggered gobal , but i guess depends what script says ,i dont know it.

So you mean anything defined in the CPP is MP-global? (I'm new to configs, I previously had experience with SQF though)

What I mean is pivot anims, hide anims, etc all in the model cfg - they are global by default? And what your saying is that user animation sources are global by default because they are in the .CPP?

I am not giving dfinitive answer because i dont know , however i think i can see myself that animations in doors and parachutes are MP because there is no other define other than in what you see there :).

so we have to presume that animations on buildings wepaons vehicles are global by there nature , however scripts that are triggered by the result of a useraction parameter may not be MP by default depending on how they are called i guess .

someone else maybe explain more but here my guess / knowledge ends.

my thhinking is that and we ar talking animations here i believe

animationsources {}

useractions {}

are global by default

however if you then ask a useraction

statement = "[this] exec ""ca\air2\Mi35\data\scripts\rdoorop.sqs""";

the code in this statement wont simply be global by default you still need to work MP magic probably.

I only think this because i myself am trying to figure out what cost it its to use sswitchmove and playmove animation over network :(
