Surrender Animation

[Hellbender]

Could someone tell me if there's an animation in Arma similar to the FXStandSur (surrender) animation from OFP?

I need this for some cutscenes but now it seems I have to start all over with animations in Arma

Any help on this or ref. to lists on the topic is very welcome!

Try this one

unit  switchMove "TestSurrender"
That does the trick.

Alright, thanks!

But I can only get this to work using a trigger which is a bit odd! I doesn't seem to work in the init field, or in waypoints. Do you know why, or how I can get around this?

For some reason switchmove and playmove does not work in init. 

I use "Talk" waypoints for playing animations, and it always works for me. 

The Talk waypoint is good, because the unit is not directed to move anywhere, which would ruin the animation.  If you want  a series of animations, you can use a series of talk waypoints, using the min/max second values to delay a desired period between animations (example would be to have a unit sit for awhile, then stand up and check his watch, etc.)

Alright, thanks guys!

Problem solved!

Somebody made an animation viewer for ArmA but I can't recall who was it. I have to check this evening at home so I might be able to post a link. With that tool you can view all animations possible in ArmA with the respectice code snippet. I'm at work now therefore I don't have the possibility to send this link right away.
