The animation name consist of series of prefixes describing the contents of the move.
If the animation is a translation from one pose to another, the name contains both, the source and the destination moves, separated by an underscore.
Animation naming

The "APMSWD" prefixes stand for:
- Action - General action (e.g move, cargo, weapon operation)
- Pose - Unit stance (e.g erect, prone)
- Movement - Movement style/speed (e.g stop, walk, run)
- Stance - Weapon position (e.g raised, lowered)
- Weapon - Weapon in use (e.g rifle, pistol)
- Direction - Where the character moves (e.g front, left)
|
Therefore, AmovPercMrunSlowWrflDf stands for:
- Action movement
- Posture erect
- Movement run
