Needed: Kneeling Surrender Animation...

[Kundich]

Anybody know of an animation for a surrender where the unit is on his knees with hands behind his head?  As a follow up, any idea how to convert that to an animation with hands behind his back?  I want to incorporate these into a nonlethal exposition mission for campaign.

Sorry to ask, but hopefully you can help.


Thanks,

Try this demo thing from Macguba and ponq in the Editors Depot Kundich.

Thanks for the reference.  It's fantastic, although with all the different animations, it can feel overwhelming.

So I found one of the animations I want: FXExecution.  Unfortunately, neither switchMove nor playMove seems to lock the animation in place, i.e. the unit returns to standing position rather than remaining in place.  Any ideas on that?

I set it up so that the unit executing the animation has setBehaviour "SAFE" or "CARELESS"; and setCombatMod "BLUE".  What do you think?

I'm not too hot on the details, but....I think it depends where you launch it from.

trigger
waypoint
init field

etc etc.

Try them all.

I'm afraid you're right, which will needlessly complicate a script.  Oh well.  I guess I've got no choice on it.  I suspect waypoint is the one for this, but I will let you know.

I had the same prob long time ago and I found the solution, but I can't explain why it works.
Normaly myunit playmove "fxexecutiondead" doesn't work, because fxexecutiondead is a switchmove command.
but...
 it prevents the unit switch back to standing position.
I know It makes no sense but it really works

Code: [Select]

myunit switchmove "fxexecution"
~2.8
myunit playmove "fxexecutiondead"
exit

Okay, Blanco: you were right.  It worked.  You were also right that it makes no sense, but thanks for the tip and the info.
