(A3 1.26) To sort animation state by keyword, use BIS_fnc_ambientAnimGetParams ("KNEEL" call BIS_fnc_ambientAnimGetParams) select 0; //return: ["amovpknlmstpslowwrfldnon"…] Useful keywords are: "STAND", "WATCH", "GUARD", "LISTEN_BRIEFING", "LEAN_ON_TABLE", "LEAN", "SIT_AT_TABLE", "KNEEL", "PRONE_INJURED", "BRIEFING" ect.

In case you need to get the animation name including upper cases: configName (configFile >> getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf _unit >> "moves") >> "States" >> (animationState _unit)) //e.g. "AmovPercMstpSrasWrflDnon" Opposite to regular animationState return value: animationState _unit //e.g. "amovpercmstpsraswrfldnon"
