• 4 - rtmStep: Vector3D - rtm step (how many meters the unit will move after finishing the animation)
• 5 - gestureProgress: Number - gesture progress in range 0-1
• 6 - gestureTime: Number - gesture elapsed time (gesture progress * gesture duration)

index: Number - index of property from the main syntax

Return Value:

Anything - Value of the requested property, or Nothing if index is invalid. See the main syntax.

Examples

Example 1:

// Getting the move velocity of the animation private _animInfo = getUnitMovesInfo player; // velocity = displacement / time private _animVelocity = _animInfo # 4 vectorMultiply -1 / _animInfo # 2; // -1 is because man model is reversed // so the rtm animation moves "backwards"

Example 2:

getUnitMovesInfo player params [ "_moveProgress", "_moveTime", "_moveDuration", "_moveFactor", "_rtmStep", "_gestureProgress", "_gestureTime", "_gestureDuration", "_gestureFactor" ];
