I have custom skinned Civilians(using a BI model and hidden selections); which I have configed and pbo'd into the game. They work great, look great; but I'd really like to give them some different animations -- just move forward and rotate for navigation, maybe an idle or two as well. I have the animations I need in the correct format, I just can't seem to find anywhere which details the way to config in custom unit animations to be used by my custom skinned civies. I have looked at pretty much everything on google for "Arma 3 Custom Animations" and have been to the wiki several dozen times (this morning) and looked at the required configs, which did not help much. Lots of stuff on CfgSkeletons / CfgModel but not much on making them animate any differently than what is defaulted by BI. Not much out there on CfgAnimations. If I could find the default BI config for unit animation not in binary form I'd probably be able to swap out the few animations I need relatively easily. Maybe someone could point me to a resource? Thanks.

Here's a basic guide on how to configure your own VR training courses: On biki: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma3:_Virtual_Reality_Custom_Courses If there are some community Courses configured, a new selector will appear with a list of the Courses. This selector will have different colour than the official ones. Config class CfgVRCourses { class Default; class MyCourse1: Default { title = "Course Name"; icon = "\A3\Structures_F_Bootcamp\VR\Helpers\Data\VR_Symbol_default_CA.paa"; class Stages { class Stage1 { title = "Stage 1 Name"; function = "BIS_fnc_VRFunctionName1"; }; class Stage2 { title = "Stage 2 Name"; function = "BIS_fnc_VRFunctionName2"; }; class Stage3 { title = "Stage 3 Name"; function = "BIS_fnc_VRFunctionName3"; }; }; }; }; icon: Path to icon that will be shown on a billboard throughout the Course. title: Text that will be shown ingame during Course selection or when loading a Stage. function: Function to run for each Stage. Must be defined in cfgFunctions (see https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Functions_Library_%28Arma_3%29#Adding_a_Function, VR functions are usually defined in category "VR"). Functions Stage functions are typically FSMs (you can get the FM editor here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BI_Tools_2.5). There are certain guidelines to follow: - player's starting coordinates are always markerPos "BIS_center" --- you should use coordinates relative to this one for spawning your assets - there is a brief timeout before player gains control in a Stage - you can spawn all your assets during this period --- you can determinate the moment player gains control by checking variable BIS_interruptable for TRUE --- any mission tasks or hints should be created after this period, once player is actually ingame - there is a logic unit used for icon helper (group icon) - BIS_icon and its group, BIS_iconGrp --- do not delete these! --- example of use: BIS_icon attachTo [bIS_UAV, [0,0,-3.5]]; BIS_iconGrp setGroupIconParams [bIS_TT_colorWarning, "", 1, TRUE]; - if player wanders too far away from his starting position, he is automatically moved back - default allowed radius is 100m --- this can be changed via variable BIS_stageArea in a Stage function --- example of use: BIS_stageArea = 150; - any assets you spawn will be deleted automatically when the Stage ends - a Stage is completed by using this code: call BIS_fnc_VR_stageDone; - always make sure you've properly terminated your function upon Stage end; keep in mind player can fail a Stage too --- for Stage failure, use code before you terminate the function: [] spawn BIS_fnc_VR_stageFailed; --- condition to check player's "death" or him leaving the Stage: damage player > 0.015 || !BIS_interruptable --- you don't need to call any code in this case, just make sure to properly terminate the function Stage function example To help you understand how a typical Stage FSM may look like, here's a link to a basic Stage function (it's a slightly tweaked Stage 2 of the Launchers Course): https://www.dropbox.com/s/5429wbhsl4f0sky/fn_VRCourseExample.fsm The End I hope I covered everything here. Have fun creating your own VR Courses!
