- Hey guys in this video I go over how to make AI perform certain animations and how to make it so when performing these animations they will enter combat if alerted by an enemy.
As always if you see something I said wrong or know an easier way to do something, I encourage you to share!

![Tutorial: Eden 3D Editor Making AI Sit [Arma 3]](/img/n.gif)
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 had no idea that the functions list was there. This... this changes everything. Liked and Sub!
haha awesome glad to have helped!
+Schlimster also, do you have a mod list? That M-4's texture looks a lot better then the CUP models.
+Joel Sullivan np Ill give you a list when im back home
CUP Units
CUP Weapons
TRYK's Multip-play uniforms pack
RHS: Armed forces of the russian federation
RHS: United States Forces
I have other mods too but I believe these are the only ones that would effect m4.
My best guess is its RHS: United States Forces, its on armaholic and maybe steam too
@@Schlimster Thank you so much for this tutorial!
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
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
ASIS means "as is" ;)
lol that makes sense
this is fricken amazing. I have been trying for hours to figure out where people did the coding. You are the best man.
Congrats you now have your 901st subscriber!
Nice! Hope you do more of these. Not a lot of Eden tutorials around yet.
+Jon Stone Thanks for watching man. Yeah I'm not sure how many I'll do yet. I try to research and see what people really have done a lot of yet so I'm not just recycling information. But I have to make sure I know what im talking about and have tested stuff in the Editor before hand too:P
Schlimster Ya roger that. But most of my "Arma 3 Eden tutorial" searches turn up nothing so it seems like pretty open ground. I know a lot of it has been covered in 2D editor but still it's nice to see how it translates to Eden. Cheers.
first animation tut I watched and it helped a lot! thanks ❤ cool video
Great video, I didn’t know I needed to do this until just now!
Thanks man a lot. More help than any other videos. I had the same problem you did so it helps a lot
I didn't even know there was a functions list. Thanks for your vids.
Man I chose the same yt outro when I was 11, great video though, thanks.
Man thank you so much I was getting so frustrated with all the other videos I've seen on this
Your videos have been a big help, thanks man!
Awesome glad to hear man!
Awesome video dude, thank you! It will help with my little ARMA 3 videos I'm practising to make
last update has removed these ambient animations from coop multiplayer
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.
Thanks DreadBeard!
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 !
Thanks a lot Majk I'll definitely think about it!
I did some guys sat down the found this video and didn't even know there was all of those different scripts
thanks man this video is very very helpful.
that was legit. Thankyou.
Perfect this is what i needed ! THANKS
This video is amazing!!!! WELL DONE and thx so much
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!
Mega helpful thanks thanks a lot 💚💚💚
Dude!!! Thank You So Much!!!
np brotha!
wat US army mod do u use
Looks like RHS
Commandopro90 I'm pretty sure it's CUP
Nevermind it's rhs
Very useful, thanks.
Good tuto! Thank you!
Thanks! keep up with good work!
My functions viewer will not open
thanks a lot
this really helps :D
Thanks m8, this video helps a lot!!!
+Unknown man003 Glad it helped!
Thanks man
Freaking great tutorial man!
Thanks man!
+Schlimster Just tried using the "SIT_U1-3" and its not working, the "SIT_U1" works fine, Don't know if you have tried that one yet
great vid has helped alot
Thank you man the video very helpful
Rad! Thanks for the tip! Gonna have to try that ambient flybys shit for my mission.
Cool shit dude,, had no clue.. Thanks...
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.
I'll have to check this out, is this with the enhanced eden mod only?
+Schlimster Hi, i'm not sure, but i found this out 2 day's ago by accident :-). If you place down a AI then double click it, scroll down, find "object ambient animation" and write down the anim you want and activate it. It works rite away in the editor.
Good tutorial. Literally laughed out loud when he said ASIS.... bro - "as is".
DUDE! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
THX SOOOOOOO MUCH
+SpudScene No problem!
thanks for this! very helpful.
Awesome glad it helped!
Doesn't work for me. I wanted to make an multiplayer mission,but it doesn't work. Only in singleplayer.
Good stuff ty.
that was cool thx
Thank you veeeeery much!
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
In multiplayer games the AI decide to ignore their given animations and run around. Help.
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 this doesn't work with rhs
Damn that is complicated enough, like if you are actually a game developer or programmer
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
Good explanation! Yes haha I did know that this was the case I just did a quick "test" for you guys to show some don't work with the combat version. Thanks for the info definitely will help somebody because I don't believe I was very clear to that point
Thanks, i forgot to say, it's a good tutorial you explained it well ... You can only fit so much in a tutorial without straying or causing people to brainbleed xD anything i've said is probably verging off-topic.
i guess i'm hopeful if someone new to programming is watching they might get something out of my comments... (the takeaway: Errors are helpful / run the game with -showScriptErrors enabled from the launcher xD )
I'm pretty sure the original operation flashpoint is one of the things, unknown to me at the time, helped developed my programming 'skills'.. So with that said, here comes the standard disclaimer: anything i'm advising could be total shite.
great trick, to bad some of them don't work.
Thanks !!!!! very much
More of that please!!
Thank you !!!
Very gud
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?
+Vesell11 Not sure on that one Vesell11. Some of them just take away their rifles in order to do the animation I believe. You can maybe try setting his gear to make sure its not on none and maybe that will equip them with a weapon to pull out after?
I got a small problem when I used the animations, there's a message saying animation set not recognized! How do you fix that?
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?
It does not work on multiplayer for me. How can i fix this?
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?
Thanks :D
Thanks for watching!
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😂
Sit 1-2 is there
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?
How do I reduce spacing in formation?
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!
haha I've had that problem to with any unit interacting with an object like that. I haven't been able to fix it yet but ill get back to you if I do;) Thanks for watching!
You have to set altitude :)
Are these the only animations you can do or can you use the ones from the animation viewer when you preview the game?
Yes you can :)
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
and when i try to add the functions like stand or kneel they dont change at all even when i copy past the example
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.
hello, good friend but a question video that use mods ?? for units..... excuse me for my bad English
Bohemia Interactive made that? There's a typo. "Wothout"
Did you use a AI combat mod?
Thanks. You said, "A-SIS or whatever." Just FYI, that's "AS is". Make sense?
For some reason the function viewer doesn't open..
while following your tutorial, I learned, when someone JIP (join in progress) all animated ai will disappear.
Maybe if you start the editor mission in multiplayer first before creating? not sure havent messed with it multiplayer
HEY capaz no me entiendas pero muchisimas gracias kpo
hey ma men can i ask how to use the polpox calm soldiers script? Thanks for this tutorial by the way. :D
When I add Combat it doesn't work. I'm using the Unsung mod, but it shouldn't change anything.
get eden enchanced.
Wait, this isn't working for me anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
theres an "enhanced eden editor mod" in the steam workshop that makes this stuff a lot easier. I have not tried it but I guess you dont need the code with that so try that out!
+Schlimster I tried but it won't work, I think it's something to do with my PC
yeah i think it is
Sigh
I need to make you clear, what problem exactly?
Does it need a mod? My function viewer just wont open.
how to make them push up?
you are a fucking legend
What do you press to play test within eden editor?
Thanks, please how can I get this game engine?
hmm, when i take Combat in the end there they dont do the animation anymore, solution?
I assume you tried to use an animation that doest work for combat, only some of them work with combat if you go into the functions list and look at animcombat you can see the list of ones that work. Tell me if this helps or not!
seems right, but it doesnt allways work anyway though maybe a bug somewhere? im using mods too so, but great video anyways!
+yeinzy Hmm I'm not sure man I'm sorry I cant be of more help. Just make sure all the code looks the same and that you are using the right ones for combat. I have also heard that if you use the extended eden editor mod or something like that you dont even need to use the code its built in so you dont use that, so you could try that.
+Schlimster no problems! this video helped me alot actually :) but will try everything, thx för the help :)
+yeinzy awesome glad to hear:)
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.
I need ace to do this? can you elaborate?
+Crimbyte I believe he is saying it is the ACE mod that is doing this. I am not entirely sure which mod it is because I had many installed. This is ACE:

It may be on steam too.
thank you ill try it out
Hi :) can u give us a link for command lines ? thanks...
get eden enchanced. t
How do u copy and paste
Can someone send a link to the Takistani Militia? I can´t find on steam or Armaholic?
+Sylle I believe it is this: www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=29301
which mods are you using? map and weapons
He was using RHS USAF and another RHS faction I believe. He was on a custom map found on the steam workshop(description). He seemed to be using a custom wounded system...
All these mods can most likely be found through the steam workshop.
Heres the code [this, "Animation"] call BNS_fnc_ambientAnim; #2019
For that video you needed 10:48 minutes? 1 Minute would be enough...
this dont work in muliplayer only in singelplayer
i heard there was an update that screwed it up too but i never tested these for coop/multiplayer. only single, sorry
this is not tragic. But i build a Multiplayer mission for my Arma 3 tactical clan and i need animation how works in multiplayer ^^. Can you help me ?
+TalkTV Sorry I cannot, havent been on Arma in a while:p
:D ok
Where do you get the U.S. Army men from?
+Kurtis King it's a mod mate
did u get it off Community or armaholic
+Kurtis King get Community Upgrade Project (CUP). There are three parts: Weapons, Units and Terrains. You need the CBA mod and CUP Units is dependent on CUP Weapons.
+Kurtis King oh and you can get it all off the community workshop.
+Kurtis King this is the us army mod used in the vid www.rhsmods.org/
