if you mean animations as in cinematic animations: it simple, in sapien; open up the console and type the command for the animation. It if it worked the unit should then be playing the animation that was set.

i am not really sure, the animation is where two pelicans and a covy dropship take off using a recorded animation from B30. what should i type?

P.S here are the scripts:

(script startup example
(recording_play bob back_cship_exit)
(game_save_no_timeout)
)

(script startup
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects startrecording2 (players))15)
(recording_play jim foehammer_hog_out)
(game_save_no_timeout)
)

(script startup
(recording_play max back_cship_drop)
(recording_play max back_cship_exit)
(game_save_no_timeout)
)

NOTE: bob, max and jim are the names of the vehicles!

ok one problem. It should compile but max will only play the first animation. copy this instead.

(script startup example
(recording_play bob back_cship_exit)
(game_save_no_timeout)
)

(script startup
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects startrecording2 (players))15)
(recording_play jim foehammer_hog_out)
(game_save_no_timeout)
)

(script startup
(recording_play max back_cship_drop)
(recording_time max )15 )))
(recording_play max back_cship_exit)
(game_save_no_timeout)
)

EDIT: if it doesnt compile, remove the "15 )))" from recording_time script.
