Custom Vehicle Animations

[Homefry 0]

Does anyone know how to make a soldier in a vehicle's cargo play a custom animation, much like with the BAS Blackhawks? Much help would be appreciated....

(crew _heli select 2) switchMove "my_animation.rtm"

"select 2" can be any number, depending on which crew member you want to select

Not my thread, but thanks hardrock. I would have been posting something like this in a couple of days for my truck....

Just reading my answer and I notice that it was trash what I said.

You can't write

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">(crew _heli select 2) switchMove "my_animation.rtm"

It has to be without the ".rpm", and the animation has to be defined in your config.cpp or description.ext of the mission in CfgMovesMC

for example

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class CfgMovesMC

{

class Default {};

class States

{

class my_animation: Default

{

file="my_animation.rtm";

speed = 2.1; // Speed of the animation

looped=false;

duty = -2.1;

interpolationSpeed=2;

connectFrom[]={Stand, 1, StandVar2, 1, StandVar3, 1};

connectTo[]={Stand, 1, StandVar2, 1, StandVar3, 1};

interpolateTo[]={StandDying,0.1,StandDyingVer2,0.1};

};

};

};

then you can write

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">(crew _heli select 2) switchMove "my_animation"

and it should work.

Ah, shows how much help I would have needed. Thanks again.

Would I be able to put that line anywhere? If I wanted the passenger animation to change when a certain even happens I could put another line like that in the script and the crew member would start using the new animation?
