"switchmove" does not work

[KokaKolaA3 394]

Hey, i have a little problem with the animations from Arma 3, the "switchmove" command does not work, i tried these things:

 

this switchmove "Acts_NavigatingChopper_loop";

this switchmove "Acts_A_M01_briefing";

this switchmove "Acts_AidlPsitMstpSsurWnonDnon01";

this switchmove "Acts_listeningToRadio_Loop";

this switchmove "Acts_Kore_TalkingOverRadio_loop";

this switchmove "Acts_PercMstpSlowWrflDnon_handup1";

this switchmove "Acts_PercMstpSlowWrflDnon_handup1b";

this switchmove "Acts_PercMstpSlowWrflDnon_handup2";

this switchmove "Acts_PercMstpSlowWrflDnon_handup2b";

this switchmove "Acts_ShieldFromSun_loop";

this switchmove "ShowingTheRightWay_loop";

this switchmove "Acts_SignalToCheck";

this switchmove "Acts_StandinSpeakingUnarmed";

this switchmove "AmovPercMstpSsurWnonDnon";

this switchmove "AmovPercMstpSsurWnonDnon_ease";

this switchmove "HubBriefing_think";

this switchmove "HubBriefing_scratch";

this switchmove "HubBriefing_stretch";

this switchmove "HubBriefing_pointLeft";

this switchmove "HubBriefing_pointRight";

this switchmove "HubStandingUC_idle1";

this switchmove "InBaseMoves_HandsBehindBack1";

this switchmove "InBaseMoves_repairVehiclePne";

 

 

only the first command does work:  "this switchmove "Acts_NavigatingChopper_loop";"

 

here is a video:

so since you are using "this" as the unit variable i'm assuming you are doing it inside hte init line?

 

i might be outdated here but if i remember correctly the init line has problems with that command caused by its timing in the whole execution order.

 

try either a trigger or similar ot put this inside the init line:

0 = this spawn
{
   sleep 1; //add this sleep, if it doesn't work without it
   _this switchmove "animationclassname";
};

Try this mate, put down two unit one as player and the other one as non playable unit, give a name to the non playable unit like s1 or whatever you want then use this command in a trigger or in the debug console:

 

 

s1 switchMove "anim name"; s1 disableAI "anim"

 

 

i made screenshots and i use animations a lot so i use always this command and it's works fine :D

 

Also i see the video, it's ok the way you use but remember to use also the disableAI "anim" command like this:

 

this switchMove "anim name"; this disableAI "anim"

Ok it works perfectly... Only 1 thing left, how can i animate my player? for example when im running around in my mission, i want to let my player perform an animation via debug console, how do i do this? 

 

p1 = name of my player

 

p1 switchmove "Acts_PercMstpSlowWrflDnon_handup2b";  (i don't need p1 disableAI "anim" right?

This is a problem mate, some animations works with the player other no, other animaitons instead stuck the player in a position after they are ended

Ok thanks! Im asking all of this because i wanted to make a mod that allows you to perform animations, like the animation where you signal a helicopter to land, or other stuff like pissing :P 

So it does not work as player (or in mp) in any kind?
