In 3den editor, place a blufor unit (B_soldier_A_F) near a camping chair (land_campingChair_V2_F).
In init field of the unit:

[this, "SIT2"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim; 0 = this spawn { waitUntil { behaviour _this == "combat"}; _this call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim__terminate; };

When this unit is aware of a threat, he will quit the "ambient animation" and will able to return fire.
Note: BIS_fnc_ambientAnimCombat doesn't need this script but the list of animations is limited.

To make this command working in MP (hosted server tested)

[this, "SIT2"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim; // wrong! the first JIP will throw the unit to position [0,0,0] if (isServer) then { [this, "SIT2"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim; }; // wrong! only player located on server will see the animation if (local this) then { [this, "SIT2"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnim; }; // OK, best way if (isServer) then { [this, "SIT2"] remoteExecCall ["BIS_fnc_ambientAnim"]; }; // OK

Be careful using this function multiple times on MP, it creates a Logic using createUnit (which is global).
If you use it on 20 units, 20 additional logics will be created.
