A class with the same source name should also be present in main config in [[CfgVehicles]] ''AnimationSources'' and have to be bound to the "user" controller for the command to work. If in order to animate door in example below using [[animate]] command it would require 2 calls:
<br><br>
<tt>house [[animate]] ["Door_1_rot", 1];</tt>
<br>
<tt>house [[animate]] ["Door_Handle_1_rot", 1];</tt>
<br><br>
With [[animateSource]] this would require only 1 (provided everything is configured correctly):
<br><br>
<tt>house [[animateSource]] ["Door_1_source", 1];</tt>

If you don't know much about model config you can use this page [[createVehicle/vehicles]] for reference. Some of the ''AnimationSources'' are listed with the class names of the available assets in Arma 3. If it says "user", the chance is it could work with [[animateSource]] (see example 2).

Description

Description:
Process an animation of the object. If animate uses class name from CfgModels Animations, animateSource uses name defined by the source property. AnimationSources can animate multiple animate Animations. AnimationSource is defined in CfgVehicles' AnimationSources (see Arma 3: createVehicle/vehicles).
Arma 3
It is recommended that animateSource command is used instead of animate whenever is possible, as it is more efficient and optimized for MP
⚠
Mixing animateSource command with animate command to animate the same part may produce some undefined behaviour.
Groups:
Animations

Syntax

Syntax:
object animateSource [source, phase, speed]
Parameters:
object: Object
source: String - common source
phase: Number - wanted animation phase
speed: Boolean or Number - (Optional, default false)
  • Boolean - when set to true, animation is instant
  • Arma 3 logo black.png1.66 Number > 0 is treated as config speed value multiplier. Since Arma 3 logo black.png2.10 values <= 0 will instantly reset animation to initPhase.
Return Value:
Nothing

Examples

Example 1:
house animateSource ["Door_1_source", 1, true];
Example 2:
Create UGV and manipulate its turret (Not possible to do with animate command. See Arma 3: createVehicle/vehicles for reference)
ugv = "B_UGV_01_F" createVehicle (player getRelPos [5, 0]); ugv addAction ["Show Turret", { ugv animateSource ["Turret", 0]; ugv animateSource ["MainTurret", rad 0, true]; ugv animateSource ["MainGun", rad 0, true]; }]; ugv addAction ["Hide Turret", { ugv animateSource ["Turret", 1] }]; ugv addAction ["Turret Left", { ugv animateSource ["MainTurret", rad 90] }]; ugv addAction ["Turret Right", { ugv animateSource ["MainTurret", -rad 90] }]; ugv addAction ["Turret Up", { ugv animateSource ["MainGun", rad 30] }]; ugv addAction ["Turret Down", { ugv animateSource ["MainGun", -rad 20] }];
Example 3:
barGate animateSource ["Door_1_sound_source", 1]; // Open barGate animateSource ["Door_1_sound_source", 0]; // Close
Example 4:
Open/close Bar Gate automatically:
// Bar Gate init if (isServer) then { private _gateTrigger = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getPosWorld this, false]; _gateTrigger setVariable ["BarGateObj", this]; _gateTrigger setTriggerActivation ["ANYPLAYER", "PRESENT", true]; _gateTrigger setTriggerArea [5, 25, getDir this, true]; _gateTrigger setTriggerStatements [ "this", "thisTrigger getVariable 'BarGateObj' animateSource ['Door_1_sound_source', 1]", "thisTrigger getVariable 'BarGateObj' animateSource ['Door_1_sound_source', 0]" ]; };
