Multiplayer Animations

[Cryptdik 5]

Looking to make simple corpses in COOP/MP missions. In SP I just used something like 

this switchMove "KIA_gunner_standup01"; this setdamage 1

Works fine, but when it comes to Multiplayer it gets a bit more difficult apparently.


SyncSwitchMove = {
	if (isDedicated) exitwith {};

	private ["_player", "_anim"];

	_player = param [0,objNull];
	_anim = param [1,""];

	_player switchMove _anim;
};

 

Tried calling it with [corpse1,"KIA_gunner_standup01"] remoteExec ["SyncSwitchMove", 0];

This doesn't work. What do I have wrong or is there an easier way?

Bumpers. Anyone know how to make animations work in MP?

Yes, it's hard to make that in MP. And I guess there are more than a single problem to obtain what you want!

Like you tried, you need to remoteExec a switchMove animation, because the effect is local, then only on player's PC (or server for an AI belonging to a group on server).

First test a current animation, something like:

if (local player) then {[player,"Acts_InjuredCoughRifle02"] remoteExec ["switchMove",0,true]}; // -2 for dedicated

Second, test with your specific animation but I'm not sure the setdamage 1 will not override it (but if ok in SP...)

Third, keep on mind the server/clients exchanges. I've been often disappointed with remote execution for some "heavy" sequences and switchmove doesn't help to do it light. There is no error.. but sometimes no animation if too busy.

 

I hope you'll find more constructive help. The topic is interesting.
