First, playMove playes the move animations and switchMove switches character immediately to the position/stance.

Salute action
Description: Causes a person to salute. AI controlled units will only make a momentary salute, unless the AI is in safe or careless behaviour mode.

Syntax: unit action ["salute", targetUnit]
Where unit is any unit (no animation is performed), and targetUnit is the person to make the salute.

Example: soldierOne action ["salute", soldierOne]

Thanks for help Snakeman,
I want to ask another things about that dialog scene.

-Commander talks about 1 min. and this is too much for dialog.is it possible to make it shorter?

-I want to add about 5-6 lines text dialog in this scene .But using triggers for every line is very useless.İ want to use scripts.Can you post a simple codes?

Thanks again.

In OFP I used just titletext. So in ArmA it should work like this:

Code: Select all

titleText ["Russians invited NATO commanders for negotiation table.","PLAIN DOWN",2]
~3

titleText ["But can they agree on anything?","PLAIN DOWN",2]
~3

Of course you should use SQF scripts instead of SQS ones which my example points as there are the ~ delays.

Anyways, titletext should be your way to go.
