I am trying to make Zakhaev unarmed, i removed the gun from his hands but i don't know how to let him use an unarmed_ animation that are located in the xanim folder. Can someone help me with that?

I removed the gun from his hand by using this small line:

animscripts\shared::placeWeaponOn( self.weapon, "none" )

Try;

ai_entity gun_remove();

thanks for the fast reply, it has the same effect as what i had first (alot simpler though). But zakhaev still thinks he is holding his AK74u.
so how can i change his default idle, walk and run animations into the unarmed animations located in xanim

when i tried to change the animtree of zakhaev ( i'm just messing around )
by using this:

#using_animtree( "civilian" );
zakhaev()
{
level.scr_animtree["zakhaev"] = #animtree;

}

-----------------------

self UseAnimTree( level.scr_animtree["zakhaev"] );

i got an Error:

cannot change the animtree of classname 'actor_enemy_villian_zakhaev': (file 'maps/test.gsc', line 52)
 self UseAnimTree( level.scr_animtree["zakhaev"] );

I m not sure but i think these animtrees are used for script_models like doors,chairs or the single arm-model from zakhaev...not for the actor.
other questions..on which entity do you try to play the unarmed animation? script_origin,node,actor? is zakhaev a spawner?

ok thanks for the reply, i'm trying to play the unarmed animation on one actor, a hostage/vip. which basically is the zakhaev actor but by using a targetname and changing his .team to allies i try to let him look like a vip.

i dont know if this will work for you because u dont explained the scene around zakhaev...so i would try it in this way with a trigger for the player and a node which play the zakhaev animation if zakhaev trigger this node...there are other ways but i think this one is easier for you

-place the actor in the map
-add a targetname for the actor (e.g. "zakhaev" )
-place a simple "pathnode" on the same position as the actor
-connect the actor to the pathnode(select actor,select node + press W)
-build a "trigger_multiple" or a "trigger_radius" somewhere near the actor and add a targetname like "zak_trig" (this trigger is for the player)


as for scripting(mymap.gsc example only!):


#include maps\_anim;
#include maps\_utility;

#using_animtree( "generic_human" );

main()
{
maps\_load::main();

prepare_zakhaev();
play_zakhaev_anim();
}
prepare_zakhaev()
{
level.zakhaev = getent( "zakhaev", "targetname" ); //define the actor
level.zakhaev.animname = "zak"; //define the animname of the actor
level.zakhaev putGunAway(); //put the gun away(not sure if this will work / called from _utility.gsc)
}
play_zakhaev_anim()
{
level.scr_anim[ "zak" ][ "zakhaev_anim1" ] = %unarmed_cowerstand_react; //should be moved to your mymap_anim.gsc (define the animname,animscene & animfile)

zak_player_trig = getent( "zak_trig", "targetname" ); //define the trigger for the player to start the animation
zak_node = getnode( self.target, "targetname" ); //define the node

zak_player_trig waittill( "trigger" ); //wait till the player hit the trigger
zak_node thread anim_single_solo( level.zakhaev, "zakhaev_anim1" ); //play a single anim on zakhaev
}


If you still have no luck and you are better in scripting take a deeper look into the sniperescape map gsc's.
