How can I play a unit's animation starting from animation point?

[streetpunk]

For example I want to play the animation starting from the half of the animation to the end, instead of starting in the beggining.

To be more especific I want to play the animation from 1 second of said animation and beyond. So the animation will already start at it's half.

I don't think i've been very clear.

Thanks in advice!

AFAIK there is no way to do that - or at least I have never seen it.
An option could be to modify the model, copy the animation you want, edit it and then you would play the modified animation. But that's quite complicated if you're not familiar with model animating.

Well, thanks anyways! modifying the model would take way too much time, first I would need to learn how to do it. Plus I want the default animation as well.

Would be interesting to test:

Set the animation speed really really high. Set the animation. Start a timer for like 0.01 seconds, then set it back to normal.

I have no clue if it works, but it could be worth a shot. There is probably a limit though.

If it's a Cinematic, you can use the fading " Cinematic - Fade in over 1.00 using black mask... ", then play the animation you want, after it get half of that animation, set " Cinematic - Fade out over 1.00 using black mask... "

Notice : the fading timer depend on how long the animation take to get half of it.
