Hello Matteo,

You need to give a little more information about the model before you can get any
help.Is it based on a unit setup,with named selections for arms,legs,head,etc?

Hi there, I'm right now working on robot units, too, so...

-First of all you'll need a 3d model with different selections (legs, arms, head, etc.)
-RTM files for the animations (standing, running, dieing)
-Config.cpp definitions - and I think that's what you're looking for. The animations have to be based on a base class (CfgMovesMC) - and the easiest way is to take a template and just change the names of the animation files. To make it even easier, you can base the robot on standard ofp models, so that it'll work with standard animations, too. In that case you don't have to have animations for everything. Ah, yeah, and don't forget adding moves="NameOfCfgAnimations" in your unit's config section.
