setFaceAnimation

[The_Mark]

How can I make a soldier to blink his eyes/keep them shut, as the Setfaceanimation doesn't seem to work?

For example:

Code: [Select]

soldier setFaceAnimation 1No effect.

Code: [Select]

soldier setFaceAnimation 0No effect.

Code: [Select]

soldier setFaceAnimation 0.5No effect.

Is the command obsolete/just simply doesn't work, or is there something wrong with the code?

Hey, The_Mark :wave:
The Setfaceanimation command has been replaced with the setMimic command.

Syntax
Unit setMimic "Mimic"

The "mimics" you can use are:
Default, Normal, Smile, Hurt, Ironic, Sad, Cynic, Surprised, Agresive, Angry.

Hopes this helpes a bit

Thanks, but that's not what I need. I need the soldier to close his eyes, which, as far as I know, cannot be done with the setMimic command.

Using the animate command could do it, if I only knew the animation name for the eye blinking..

Hmm... Theoricaly, setfaceanimation should work:

----------------------------------------
person setFaceAnimation blink

Operand types:
    person: Object
    blink: Number
Type of returned value:
    Nothing
Description:
    Set facial animation phase (eye blinking). blink in range 0 to 1

Example:
    setFaceAnimation 0.5
-----------------------------------


But we know how OFP is...

Now, about animate: No Mark, it wouldn't work. animate is a limited model animation method, whose animations can only be set at the config.cpp according to the model's memoryLOD and selections definition (which requires Addon making knoledge :-\).

I hope you find the answer.
