Play animation on player

[gc8 981]

Hi

I'm trying to play repair vehicle animation on player but don't know how to do that. I tried probably all the animation commands there are but nothing happens

 

I tried these from console:

 

[] spawn { sleep 2; player playMove "inbasemoves_assemblingvehicleerc"; };



[] spawn { sleep 2; player playMoveNow "inbasemoves_assemblingvehicleerc"; };



[] spawn { sleep 2; player playAction  "inbasemoves_assemblingvehicleerc"; };



[] spawn { sleep 2; player playActionNow   "inbasemoves_assemblingvehicleerc"; };



[] spawn { sleep 2; player switchAction  "inbasemoves_assemblingvehicleerc"; };



[] spawn { sleep 2; player switchMove   "inbasemoves_assemblingvehicleerc"; };

 

How do you make it work? Any tips are welcome as I am lost with these animation things 🙂

 

thx!

@gc8 switchMove

 

You may also need to add player disableAI "anim" and maybe "teamSwitch" but I think that only works on AI. Plus this might work, never used it on a player: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_ambientAnim

switchmove doesn't work. I tried:

 

[] spawn { sleep 2; player disableAI "anim"; player switchMove   "inbasemoves_assemblingvehicleerc"; };

I believe some animations are specifically configured to not work on players. The workaround is to make the player unit an AI. You can do this sort of seamlessly by unselecting the player's current unit as player, using selectPlayer if I remember right, and forcing the player's camera to the old unit. Then play animation. I'm at work but it'd be written sorta like this:

 

 

private _oldUnit=vehicle player;

 

selectPlayer objNull; //May be better to select an actual disabled simulation unit that already exists

 

_oldUnit disableAI"anim";

_oldUnit switchCamera "INTERNAL";

 

_oldUnit switchMove"inbasemoves_assemblingvehicleerc";

 

_oldUnit addEventHandler["AnimDone",{

if(_this#1=="inbasemoves_assemblingvehicleerc")then{

removeEventHandler["AnimDone",_thisEventHandler];

selectPlayer(_this#0);(_this#0)switchCamera"INTERNAL";}

}];

@phronk wow that's complicated. All I want is to play repair animation or whatever build animation there are available for the player

Is there a list of animations that can be played on player? (Like first aid animation.)

if not some one should definitely make one 🙂

I found the page I asked about and it has animations that work with playaction on the player. Link: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/playAction/actions

 

But I haven't yet found repair animation. Any help is appreciated
