Description needed
Groups:: Animations

Syntax:: Syntax needed
Parameters:: object: Object
: [source, phase, speed]: Array
: source: String - common source
: phase: Number - wanted animation phase
: speed: Boolean or Number - When true animation is instant. Since Arma 3 v1.65.138459 Number > 0 is treated as config speed value multiplier
Return Value:: Return value needed

Example 1:: house animateSource ["Door_1_source", 1, true];
Example 2:: Create UGV and manipulate its turret (Currently not possible to do with animate command. See 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: //--- init of the Bar Gate if (isServer) then { _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]" ]; };
