I need an animation where an archer shoots while he is walking. Is there such unit available for download? or is there a way to merge the leg bones of a unit while walking with the arm bones of the unit that attacks?
 
Usually you can only do this for tank-like units/models due to having full control over the head bone of a model then using a dummy unit to play the bottom half's animation.

You can try using set unit x/y to have movement and allow the archer to shoot or use a custom projectile/attack system that is instant or something while moving.

If you want to do it perfectly, you indeed need SetUnitX() and SetUnitY() as movement and have a special animation Walk+Shoot
Then the unit facing should be the direction where it walks to and use the "Lock Body-Part Facing" function to make it aim at the target spot.

... kind of a request for a models animation.
