Need help with cut scene animations

[Drunk_Irishman 0]

Hello all!

 

So I am working on a mission and I want to do some animations in the mission itself. Now in the mission an independent group leader is betrayed by opfor and it shot dead. I am using this animation "Acts_ViperMeeting_A_End" but when the gun appears to fire nothing happens. I have looked into other posts about this but nothing I found helped so here I am looking for answers.

switchMove

and

playMove
Don't think playGesture works anymore lol, don't think it ever did.

Animations are animations. You can find some BI trailers with weapons firing during an animation but there is no simple way to add a shot during it. forceWeaponFire perhaps, with no aim of course.

Yeah so that's what I did! It was a pain in the ass to do but it took like 20 minutes, no joke, of tweaking to get it perfect haha and its not even perfect in my opinion. Thanks a bunch guys

wait you what now? Are you sure it's actually firing the weapon? I have never seen this work, other people on other threads have tried the same thing with no result 

I'm happy that you got it to a point in which you like  though.

I used this script and it worked fine "unit fire weaponName" you just have to time it
