Switchmove skips

[marki980908 23]

I am trying to make an animation for an execution, for some reason, when I try to execute a sequence of animations, it gives me an error and just plays the last one, here is my code:
 

shooter switchMove "Acts_Executioner_Kill";
shooty switchMove "Acts_ExecutionVictim_Kill";
sleep 1.733;
shooty switchMove "Acts_ExecutionVictim_Kill_End";
sleep 2.7;
shooty switchMove "Acts_ExecutionVictim_KillTerminal";

Shooter being the executioner, and shooty being the victim. What it does now for some reason, it just starts playing Acts_execution_KillTerminal emote without anything above
And gives me "Error generic error in expression"

Show the complete error message copy/pasted from .rpt file!

But I guess there could be an invisible character on the position of the hashtag (or maybe the < sign) in the error message.

Here is how rpt file looks like

Suspending not allowed in this context

this is the important information...

 

You are using a suspension method (sleep in this case) in an unscheduled environment. This is not allowed as you can read in the biki entry of Scheduler.

 

Therefore you have to ensure that your code runs scheduled. You can achieve that with a simple spawn:

private _dummy = [] spawn 
{
 shooter switchMove "Acts_Executioner_Kill";
 shooty switchMove "Acts_ExecutionVictim_Kill";
 sleep 1.733;
 shooty switchMove "Acts_ExecutionVictim_Kill_End";
 sleep 2.7;
 shooty switchMove "Acts_ExecutionVictim_KillTerminal";
};

Thanks it worked, any idea how to add sound to that?
Like:
 

private _dummy = [] spawn 
{
 shooter switchMove "Acts_Executioner_Kill";
 shooty switchMove "Acts_ExecutionVictim_Kill";
 sleep 1.733;
 playSound3D [getMissionPath "sound\exeshot.ogg", shooter, false, getPosASL _this, 5, 1, 0];
 shooty switchMove "Acts_ExecutionVictim_Kill_End";
 sleep 2.7;
 shooty switchMove "Acts_ExecutionVictim_KillTerminal";
};

Gives me generic error

getposASL _this? ....  _this is what?

Thanks, but I have solved it, I noticed it maybe 30 seconds after I started looking into logs. Thanks anyway, it worked perfectly, that code above does a pretty nice execution with sound and stuff, if you have ogg file

This will work for the sound.  Its for the in-game .45 pistol.

_s = "a3\sounds_f\arsenal\weapons\pistols\4-five\4-five_01.wss"; 
_unit = shooty; 
playSound3D [_s,_unit, false, getPosASL _unit, 1.5];

I had a custom sound file, but yours is even better thanks!
