What am I doing wrong?

[Dyne 0]

Ok, I searched the forums for this...but to no avail!

So here's the question...

I want some of my troopers to be doing push ups at the base at the start of the mission...so I typed this into the init field...

unit1 playMove "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_exercisePushup"

however...at the start of the mission, the unit is not doing the action.

Can someone please help me out?

I'm not up on the animations yet, but did you name each soldier, then change the "unit1" to each soldiers name?

[squeeze 22]

it won't work like that....

best thing to do is add your line to a trigger....

Activation: Anybody

On Act: unit1 playMove "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_exercisePushup"

then place this trigger where it will go off on start....like on a player.

Or just use it on a waypoint .

Animations don't work from the init line.

Well, Metal Heart, could elaborate on how to use them then?

Perhaps if everyone was less stingy with information, there would be less questions.

ArmaVidz - thanks for the props. Know easiest way to screen-cap that into a .wmv or .mpg, etc etc?

Or can you just "do it" for me hehehe

Thanks!

Hey Satexas69, np np. Sorry for the uber late reply here. Just incase you didn't find the answer. Best way to screencap that is to use FRAPS, then import the .AVI file made by FRAPS into Windows Movie Maker 2, which when you "Save Movie File" creates an high-quality .WMV file automatically.

You can also try the switchMove command as well as the play move.

Also if you use triggers, like i have to make ai do pressups, set the activation to true, suppose it would save cpu knowing it was true rather checking condition.
