hey

btw this is in the wrong section so it will be moved sooner or later.

To use anims give your unit a name.... lets call him bob.
Now in a trigger type in the On Activation: bob switchmove "ANIM"

Just set who you want to activate it 1st, i.e. west/ east etc.

There is a list of animations in the Ed Depot.   Also a demo mission showing them all in action.

Some of them don't work from the init field of a unit.  Some require the unit to be in a certain state before they will work.

Can you be a bit more specific about what is going wrong?

cheers for the response, the problems that i want a unit to be standing around relaxing but they just stand there with their gun ready, and i cant get units to stay croughed, they just stand, crouch and then instantlyu get back up

Hi

If you dont want soldiers to have guns ready just put the soldiers behaviour to safe in the waypoint options.Or like stated above look for the anim list.
To make a soldier crouch.Put this in the init field of the soldier

this setbehaviour "combat";this setunitpos "up";this switchmove "combattocrouch"

However they more or less always stand up,so you need to remove their grenades.If you dont know how to do this i suggest looking in the ed depot,its a never ending tunnel of ofp knowledge.

Hope this has helped.
