Introduction
cfgMoves is the nerve center of all skeletal character animation. The animation of human characters that is - not the simple, procedural animation of objects (e.g. raising/lowering a barrier, opening/closing of an aircraft canopy).
cfgMoves has two major sections: Actions and States.
Actions
It is where the character animation state machine is set up. It's a bit confusing that BI called the animation state handler "Actions", and the actions are called "States", but this is what it is.
What this thing does, is configure all the possible animation states (e.g. standing upright with a rifle, kneeling with a pistol, parachuting), and define for each of them which animations can be played in and from that given state.
For instance, from the kneeling with a pistol state (PistolKneelActions), you cannot directly go into crawling forward on your stomach with a rifle (even if you have a rifle). First you would have to holster the pistol and grab your rifle, then lie down, or viceversa. Similarly, if you're prone (whether unarmed, or armed with a pistol or rifle), you cannot salute - first you'd have to stand up.
What animation can or cannot be played, in what situation, is set up here in Actions. Player input (key presses, clicks) are then directed to this state machine, which interprets them and decides what action/animation the avatar will perform next, according to these rules. Same rules apply to AI players.
States
In this section, each animation file (RTM) has a corresponding entry. Animation properties, such as playback speed, interpolation rules, blending times, collision shapes to use during animation, etc.., are configured here.
These animations are the ones referenced in the Actions section above. While Actions represents a complex graph, States is more like a list of items, even though some rules are also set up here (see the ConnectTo[] and InterpolateTo[] properties).
cfgGestures is similar to States, it holds the bone-masked or layered animations introduced in Arma 2. Welcome to reloading-while-running.
Namespace of anim classes and files
A...P...M...S...W...D[_A...P...M...S...W...D][_Comment]
A: Description of the animation type, i.e.: mov for movement, cts for cutscene
P: Stance: erc for erected, knl for kneel, pne for prone
M: Speed of animation: stp for stopped, wlk for walk, run for running, eva for evasive
S: Weapon holding: low for lowered, ras for raised
W: Weapon: non for unarmed, pst for pistol, lnr for launcher, rfl for rifle.
D: Direction of movement: non for no direction, f for forward, etc.
- If there is a second movement definition named [_A...P...M...S...W...D] after the first one, the animation is a transition from the first animation to the second.
[_Comment]: additional comments, if required.
Example: AmovPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon means: Movement - Prone - Stopped - civil (no weapon) - no direction (due to being static).
Alphabetical Order
A
access
- Type
- Integer
- Description
- See access (CfgVehicles).
access = 3;
actions
- Type
- String
- Description
- Sets the action class/group to which this state belongs to.
actions = "PistolStandActionsRunR";
actions = "RifleStandActions";
actions = "InjuredManActionsnon_norot";
actions = "SitActions";
aiming
- Type
- String
- Description
- This property references BlendAnims class entries to use when aiming up/down. These are sets of named selections, with weights associated to them, defining how much should the bodyparts move while aiming.
Notice how for instance aimingDefault[] sets up increasing weights for bones: Spine (0.3), Spine1 (0.4), Spine2 (0.5), Spine3/Head/Neck (0.6), shoulders and upper arms (0.8) and finally forearms, hands and weapons (1). This makes for a smooth arching of the body while aiming.
aiming = "empty";
aiming = "aimingDefault";
aiming = "aimingNo";
aiming = "aimingCivil";
aiming = "aimingLying";
aiming = "aimingPistol";
aiming = "aimingLauncher";

interpolateFrom[]
- Type

interpolateTo[]
- Type
- Array
- Description
- Found in States; defines edges in the animation graph which should be interpolated immediately instead of connected at the end of this animation. As with connectTo, the numeric value specifies the cost of the transition.
Typically, animations will play to the end, then another animation will be played. Sometimes though, it is important to be able to just cut the current animation short, and immediately change to a different animation.
A good example would be death animations: if the character is half way through "eating a kebab" animation and the kebab explodes in his face, he won't continue munching. Instead he will play a death animation and fall to the ground right away.
To make the cut between the two animation less visually jarring, a couple of frames of transition/interpolation is provided.

leaning
- Type
- String
- Description
- Found in both Actions and States, references BlendAnims class entries. Defines how much each bone/bodypart should be influenced when leaning.
Leaning, similar to aiming, is not an animation played back from a file. It's procedural, if you will, and so needs extra setting up in the config to look it is best.
leaning = "leaningDefault"; // Default
leaning = "aimingLying"; // AmovPpneMstpSrasWrflDnon_injured
leaning = "empty"; // class AmovPpneMrunSlowWrflDf - disables leaning while prone

- Type
- Float
- Description
- Appears only once in both ArmA & Arma 2, no variation across States or Actions.
leaningFactorZeroPoint = -1;
leanLRot
- Type
- Float
- Description
- Found in Actions, sets the amount of lean possible and the angle of leaning.
With a value of 1, the character will lean about 70 degrees off vertical, looking like it just broke it is back, so the more reasonable amount to lean is about half of that. Doctor's orders.
leanLRot = 0; // NoActions, RifleProneActions
leanLRot = 0.5; // RifleBaseLowStandActions
leanLRot = 0.57; // CivilStandActions
leanLShift

leftHandIKBeg
- Type
- Boolean
- Description
- Found in States, appeared in ArmA, complemented/superseded in Arma 2 by leftHandIKCurve[].
These properties set whether at the beginning and end of the animation, IKs for both arms are enabled or not.
left/right-HandIKCurve[] allows for a more complex and detailed control of FK/IK (see below for more details) blending.
Typical uses:
leftHandIKBeg = true;
leftHandIKCurve[] = {1};
leftHandIKEnd = true;
leftHandIKBeg = false;
leftHandIKCurve[] = {};
leftHandIKEnd = false;
leftHandIKBeg = false;

leftHandIKEnd = true;
leftHandIKEnd
- Type
- Boolean
- Description
- See above.
leftHandIKEnd = 0;
leftHandIKCurve
- Type
- Array
- Description
- As the name suggests, this array describes the curve controlling FK/IK blending on the left arm.
Every pair of values describe a 2D point, with the first number representing time (horizontal) and the second being the weight (vertical).
Time ranges from 0-1, where 0 is animation start, 0.5 is half way, and 1 the end.
Weight also ranges from 0-1, where 0 means animation is taken from RTM file (FK) and IK is disabled, 0.6 meaning a 40% blend of FK and 60% IK, and 1 is 100% IK.
Let me interpret the last example below (the long one). The curve has 4 points [0, 1], [0.05, 0], [0.95, 0] and [1, 1]. When the animation starts playing, the IK takes full effect, but is gradually disabled by point #2. It stays disabled until point #3 towards the end, when it is weight starts climbing again. At the end, at point #4, the IK is fully on again, overriding all FK.
leftHandIKCurve[] = {}; // IK OFF.
leftHandIKCurve[] = {1}; // IK fully ON.
leftHandIKCurve[] = {0.1, 1, 0.15, 0}; // IK fully ON one-tenth into the animation, but disabled soon afterwards.
leftHandIKCurve[] = {0, 1, 0.05, 0, 0.95, 0, 1, 1}; // IK ON at start, but soon disabled. Re-enabled towards the end.
legs
- Type
- String
- Description
- Found in States, references BlendAnims class entries. Used for deforming the character on sloping surfaces (hillside, stairs, etc..).
Most of the RTM animations have been recorded in a motion capture studio, on a perfectly flat floor. When standing on a slope, the character would normally have one foot sinking into the ground, while the other would be hanging in the air. So BI devised this system for deforming the bodyparts that have contact with the ground.
When standing upright, it is just the legs. When prone, it is most, if not the whole body. Like everything else in BlendAnims, it is a list of bones, with weights (amount of influence) associated.
legs = "legsDefault"; // Deafault
legs = "legsNo"; // DefaultDie

V
variantAfter[]
- Type
- Array
- Description
- Found in States when there are several variations on the same animation (usually idles) that can be played randomly.
Minimum, average and maximum - these are the inputs for the random number generator, similar to how trigger timeout/countdown works in the mission editor.
variantAfter[] = {5, 10, 20}; // Default

variantsAI[]
- Type
- Array
- Description
- Found in States when there are several variations on the same animation (usually idles) that can be played randomly.
It lists the animations to be randomly cycled. The numbers represent the probability of that animation being played, the higher the number, the more likely the animation will get to play.
The sum of these numbers is always 1.
