Animations in bis_fnc_holdActionAdd

[BadHabitz 235]

I'm running into a problem trying to get the player to start an animation while using a bis_fnc_holdActionAdd. Should be specifically line 6 and line 9 in my code in the spoiler. I did try player switchMove "Acts_millerDisarming_deskCrouch_loop" and it didn't work. So I'm at a loss. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

[
/* 0 object */                _object,
/* 1 action title */            "DOWNLOAD INFORMATION",
/* 2 idle icon */            "wipe.paa",
/* 3 progress icon */            "wipe.paa",
/* 4 condition to show */        "true",
/* 5 condition for action */        "true",
/* 6 code executed on start */        "player switchMove 'Acts_millerDisarming_deskCrouch_loop'",
/* 7 code executed per tick */        {["Computer", "Downloading in progress"] call BIS_fnc_showSubtitle},
/* 8 code executed on completion */    {null = [] execVM "briefingCrash.sqf";},
/* 9 code executed on interruption */    "player switchMove ''",
/* 10 arguments */            [""],
/* 11 action duration */        10,
/* 12 priority */            0,
/* 13 remove on completion */        false,
/* 14 show unconscious */        false
] call bis_fnc_holdActionAdd;

I think you need to do it like this:

 

[
/* 0 object */                _object,
/* 1 action title */            "DOWNLOAD INFORMATION",
/* 2 idle icon */            "wipe.paa",
/* 3 progress icon */            "wipe.paa",
/* 4 condition to show */        "true",
/* 5 condition for action */        "true",
/* 6 code executed on start */        {player switchMove "Acts_millerDisarming_deskCrouch_loop"},
/* 7 code executed per tick */        {["Computer", "Downloading in progress"] call BIS_fnc_showSubtitle},
/* 8 code executed on completion */    {null = [] execVM "briefingCrash.sqf";},
/* 9 code executed on interruption */    {player switchMove ""},
/* 10 arguments */            [],
/* 11 action duration */        10,
/* 12 priority */            0,
/* 13 remove on completion */        false,
/* 14 show unconscious */        false
] call bis_fnc_holdActionAdd;

If switchMove isn't working, try playMove or playMoveNow. I've run into situations where only one of those 3 can be used for certain animations.

 

If you want an example of one that worked for me, I used this in one of my recent missions to play an animation while the player is holding the action button:

[
this,
"Disable Gun",
"\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\actions\repair_ca.paa",
"\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\actions\repair_ca.paa",
"_this distance _target < 3",
"_caller distance _target < 3",
{_caller playMove "Acts_carFixingWheel"},
{},
{mnk_aadisable1 = true},
{},
[],
15,
10,
true,
false
] call BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd;

^that one does not use anything to stop the animation because I was having issues getting the animations to transition smoothly upon interruption, so I abandoned giving the player the option of doing so because I didn't like the way it looked.

It works. I'm using playMove for the starting animation, and switchMove for anything that alters that. Thanks!
