AnimationTitles

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. The second move does not contain character definition again, as the character (e.g. man vs. woman) cannot change during the move.
(Some of these movement types are only available in ArmA2 or VBS2.)

The prefixes describe

• CHARACTER - Unit type (e.g. soldier, civilian)
• ACTION CLASS - 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)
• HAND ITEM CLASS - Weapon in use (e.g. rifle, pistol)
• DIRECTION - Where the character moves (e.g. front, left)
