Arma 3 AI Animations Tutorial 

Legit wish more tutorials were made like yours.

It's always amazing when the exact problem you were trying to figure out how to fix is shown to you perfectly! Thanks a ton!

Great tutorial, straight forward and to the point. Unlike some of the other Arma 3 youtubers out there.

I know you've received a lot of thanks for this video, but I would like to thank you too for taking the time to make this and cover each step in clear detail. I've picked Arma 3 back up recently to get some mission designing practice done and I appreciate the value in adding ambient animations. Many thanks for the explanation! +Subbed

this is fricken amazing. I have been trying for hours to figure out where people did the coding. You are the best man.

first animation tut I watched and it helped a lot! thanks ❤ cool video

Thanks man a lot. More help than any other videos. I had the same problem you did so it helps a lot

Awesome video dude, thank you! It will help with my little ARMA 3 videos I'm practising to make

Great video, I didn’t know I needed to do this until just now!

You can set a variable and still use "this", no issues if it's on the init line of the thing you want to animate

This video is amazing!!!! WELL DONE and thx so much

Your videos have been a big help, thanks man!

Man thank you so much I was getting so frustrated with all the other videos I've seen on this

Perfect this is what i needed ! THANKS

I didn't even know there was a functions list. Thanks for your vids.

thanks man this video is very very helpful.

Congrats you now have your 901st subscriber!

Thanks! keep up with good work!

Very cool. I had been playing with soldier animations in the 'object: ambient animation' field (which I think I have because I downloaded the 'Eden enhanced' mod on Steam), but this is much more flexible and offers more options. Thanks for sharing! Please keep releasing Eden tutorials.

Thank you man the video very helpful

Hey! Great video, thanks, it will help me a lot... As it is already discussed in the comments, there is not really any "in depth" tutorials of the new functionalities on Eden such as the revive and respawn functions. The upcoming Task Overhaul could also be very interesting to get a proper tutorial on. I know this is not maybe the forum for a "wishlist" but IF you find it enjoyable to make tutorials you clearly know how to explain things in a sensible and understandable way. So either way, keep up the good work !

I had no idea that the functions list was there. This... this changes everything. Liked and Sub!

that was legit. Thankyou.

thanks a lot this really helps :D

Rad! Thanks for the tip! Gonna have to try that ambient flybys shit for my mission.

Good tuto! Thank you!

DUDE! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Mega helpful thanks thanks a lot 💚💚💚

Heyo!... Once More xD... I MUST COMMENT xD so this will help with some more cinematic missions. Me and my friend every now and then decide we are going to make each other a mission to try out, and see who's is better. I'm gonna show him my mission making skills are better! xD thanks for this video man!

Nice! Hope you do more of these. Not a lot of Eden tutorials around yet.

Very useful, thanks.

great vid has helped alot

ASIS means "as is" ;)

Thanks m8, this video helps a lot!!!

Thanks man

thanks for this! very helpful.

Thank you veeeeery much!

Hi Schlimster I have just watched your TUT on animations and i am trying to make a officer sit in the new ARMCHAIR from the Laws of war DLC, but he just sit on the floor in front of the armchair, but if i use a camping chair he sits on it, do you know a way to make it work? thanks for the TUT it makes my missions look a bit more realistic.

Cool shit dude,, had no clue.. Thanks...

I got a small problem when I used the animations, there's a message saying animation set not recognized! How do you fix that?

Good stuff ty.

Thank you !!!

Freaking great tutorial man!

hello, good friend but a question video that use mods ?? for units..... excuse me for my bad English

that was cool thx

Man I chose the same yt outro when I was 11, great video though, thanks.

last update has removed these ambient animations from coop multiplayer

More of that please!!

hey ma men can i ask how to use the polpox calm soldiers script? Thanks for this tutorial by the way. :D

Thanks !!!!! very much

Dude!!! Thank You So Much!!!

when i set an enemy an animation when I test the mission that enemy will not react to me while others do. He'll just sit and watch while others try killing me what am i doing wrong?

THX SOOOOOOO MUCH

What do you press to play test within eden editor?

How do I reduce spacing in formation?

Shame that animations like Briefing doesnt work with Combat code at the end. Meaning that they don't care if they are getting shot etc. Any way to fix those animations?

I put the animations on the guy and then play it on singleplayer it works, but when I put it on mulitplayer it doesnt show up. how can i get the animations on multiplayer

Very nice tutorial, Thank you a lot ! Can you get Units to do the SIT_HIGH1-2 animation correctly ? I seem unable to get it work... I used a mod (3den enhanced) where you could set it up (incl. preview) and there i managed to get a unit performing it correctly, however, after i returned from 'play scenario' back to the editor the unit had glitched ('clipping' ?) a bit into the table (technically he then was located on a lower altitude)..and that would happen each time i quickly play the scenario...so they sink step by step into the object their sitting on and finally actually sink into the ground, which of course screws the whole point of the animation. Any Ideas ? :D Thanks again!

Some animations like Briefing,Repair_kneel or Guard delete AI main weapon. There are various ways to get him into combat state, but he'll have no weapon, and will just run around. Have you worked that out?

Hi all, dunno if anyone is still active in here but I'm having a problem with Arma animations : basically if I Select an animation that includes walking and the I apply it the characther just wont move, I mean, he'll walk but in the same place like if its "stuck" somehow. Anyone could help me?

Are these the only animations you can do or can you use the ones from the animation viewer when you preview the game?

i know it might be a dumb question but how do i get my ai to stand still ive been trying to set up a checkpoint style place with guards but as soon as i place them they dont stay in the area's where i have placed them they instantly run to the squad leader thne start slowly pacing around with their guns drawn

Very gud

It does not work on multiplayer for me. How can i fix this?

Thanks, please how can I get this game engine?

I did some guys sat down the found this video and didn't even know there was all of those different scripts

how to make them push up?

Thanks :D

Did you use a AI combat mod?

Does it need a mod? My function viewer just wont open.

In multiplayer games the AI decide to ignore their given animations and run around. Help.

How do u copy and paste

My functions viewer will not open

Brooo big thanks in 2020. Sadly tho if you give them one of these actions it stops them from going into combat.

For some reason the function viewer doesn't open..

Doesn't work for me. I wanted to make an multiplayer mission,but it doesn't work. Only in singleplayer.

You dont have to script the animations anymore, you can set the animation in the atribute screen of the ai. The anim will play even in the editor.

HEY capaz no me entiendas pero muchisimas gracias kpo

I see other levels use such better animations such as the unconscious standup animation however i cant find the animation name as just copying and pasting it from the viewer doesnt work.... Pls help😂

which mods are you using? map and weapons

Good tutorial. Literally laughed out loud when he said ASIS.... bro - "as is".

Bohemia Interactive made that? There's a typo. "Wothout"

You probably worked this out mate but if you look at the bottom of the screen when you preview... (i know you saw it) but the script error tells you that there is no 'briefing' animation associated with the Combat version of the function.. So the function doesnt work and so that ai dude is completely unaffected.. That's why he immediately turns and engages you, cus the function doesn't run and he's not playing an ambientAnim at all... The reason is (and this is some speculation on my part, but its a possible reason why the list of animations is limited) only certain animations have transition animations between them and combat/default locomotion animations... So the ambientAnimCombat function is only written 'under the hood' to transition between _acceptableStates into default behaviour... when you give it something like 'briefing' there's no animations to transition so it cant, so error. Not sure if i even 'explained' anything there :D

Hi :) can u give us a link for command lines ? thanks...

how do you make it in which you only see your mag count and not the number of rounds you have in a mag? I have always wondered.

Can someone send a link to the Takistani Militia? I can´t find on steam or Armaholic?

Damn that is complicated enough, like if you are actually a game developer or programmer

For some reason this doesn't work with rhs

When I add Combat it doesn't work. I'm using the Unsung mod, but it shouldn't change anything.

Sit 1-2 is there

great trick, to bad some of them don't work.

while following your tutorial, I learned, when someone JIP (join in progress) all animated ai will disappear.

hmm, when i take Combat in the end there they dont do the animation anymore, solution?

Thanks. You said, "A-SIS or whatever." Just FYI, that's "AS is". Make sense?

Where do you get the U.S. Army men from?

you are a fucking legend

Heres the code [this, "Animation"] call BNS_fnc_ambientAnim; #2019

this dont work in muliplayer only in singelplayer

Wait, this isn't working for me anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته كيف حالك اخي
