undocumented player animations (aka hidden)

[d3nn16 3]

Before patch 1.03 I used the evasive forward key to do one special move which is side leap. After patch 1.03 it didn't work anymore but instead I accidentally pressed the new key combination.

After a few tries I discovered the keys combination (although it seems there are more).

Toggle in walk mode, keep "move left" key down.

In a second or so press "move forward", release "move left", push "move right", release "move forward", release "move right". Your soldier should do a right side leap.

You have to press and release forward key almost instantly and the left and right key a bit more time

It also happens in sprint mode but it is too difficult to reproduce.

I wasn't able to reproduce a left side leap although I think I noticed it when accidentally pressing the combination.

Anyone knows more about this ?

It's in the controls - Evasive move forward, I think.

Read carefully. He said that this key isn't working in 1.03 anymore. :D

I found out by looking at the ArmA profile file this :

keyEvasiveBack[]={};

I didn't see any action in Controls menu corresponding to this so I copied another key code in the brackets. It does something similar to side leap but backwards.

Reminds me of guitar tabs.... :D

Neat find. Double plus good.

I forgot to mention you have to press and release forward key almost instantly and the left and right key a bit more time

Found the left side leap combo :

---[F]

[L]---[R]

---[F]

[L]---[R]

---[F]

[L]---[R]

---[F]

[L]---[R]

---[F]

[L]---[R]

---[F]

[L]---[R]

It's the same timing as for right side leap, imagine [L] became [F], [F] became [R] and [R] became [L]

This makes me think of a rotation to the right, hmm maybe if I rotate again I could find some other animation :D
