- 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
- Stance (of weapon) low
- Weapon rifle
- Direction forward.
