Find an animation you want, click on it, hit CTRL+C, leave the animation viewer, and then put your mouse over a unit and hit CTRL+E.

[Duke84 3]

thank you!

I believe Ravage mod causes the issue.

Confirmed and fixed. Hotfix will launch soon.

[POLPOX 778]

*cough* failed to update once. It should be fixed now.

[Rismarck 1082]

Thank you, this mod is awesome. A real huge time-saver.

[Thumperdevine 143]

I laid off downloading this because I didn't quite understand what it did, but I thought I'd give it a try. 

 

Bloody hell, this is an essential piece of kit. For anyone like me who mostly uses Arma 3 like a giant toybox and screen shot generator this is just unbelievably useful. it's so good it's got me hungry to make static animations again.  

 

Superb work. Now, if anyone can make a mod allowing us to make new animations 'on-the-fly' within the game, I'll be set for life. :D

[POLPOX 778]

I am happy to introduce this: I am now taking a part of an Arma 3 community Discord channel A3 Hub!

I'll post some developing diaries about my MODs, you can report issues, discuss and suggest about them!

 

Enjoy your stay from here! https://discord.gg/dyXnZ8u

[POLPOX 778]

In case you've missed, I am making a new function: Simple Effect Creator (working name)!

[POLPOX 778]

Update is available now, I hope I can support your weekend creation!

Changelog and description will be frontpaged soon.

[Zhivets 2392]

Thanks for your hard work!

[POLPOX 778]

Alright then, here's the way to use the new function.

In the initialization of the man:

[this,0,0.3] call PLP_fnc_fireWeapon

In the initialization of the arrow:

[this,[["Blood"],["BloodMist"],["Meat"]]] call PLP_fnc_effectDropper

 

And also, Fake Weapon Fire function is not working properly. Hotfix will launch soon.

 

Note: PLP_fnc_effectDropper is obsolete now.

[Flinty 454]

Hey, I was wondering if you could provide any assistance/guide to using the effects properly? I'm a tad confused on how they are added in :P

[Shiloh 102]

Love this mod so much, thank you! Also just so you're aware, it looks like some of the effects may be throwing errors. Every time I try to use the "projectile" effect I get a "generic error in expression", specifying line 787.

Confirmed, please use spawn instead of call along to projectile argument for now.

[Shiloh 102]

I also had a question: When animating a unit, how do I make them use a pistol instead of their primary weapon? IE: I'm trying to use an animation where the unit is holding a handgun, and he has one in his inventory, but in the animation his hands are empty.

I don't think this is a problem the MOD related. Please contact the author of the animation. Or you can place certain handgun via Editor as a prop.

There is no way to do it other than placing a pistol as a prop and positioning it manually.
