Sometimes (or is it always?) switchmove animations don't work from the init field.   Give the loon a hold waypoint at his start position and put the code in there.   Use a switch trigger to get him out of the hold waypoint and into (say) seek and destroy if the enemy is detected nearby.

you cannot put the switchmove or playmove commands in a units init, they must be placed in a trigger

Only if the loon don't have the appropriate behaviour, e.g. "safe", "aware" and so forth... some switchMoves have other conditions that needs to be fulfilled in order to work in the initField, but your method is also correct and simpler. I allways set the loons various behaviours in the "init.sqs": "_x setbehaviour ""safe""" foreach [eg1,eg2,eg3] <--------- Groups asigned in the array
