Is it possible to mix animations between units?

[Avantel]

I'm trying to make it possible for Boris to swim, and I thought making him use the seal swimming animations would work perfectly for that, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to use animations across units. It either ends up with Boris having weird glitchy movements, or just straight up not visible on the screen.

 

So far the main work-around I've come up with is to just replace the Boris unit with the arctic seal, keeping all the voice lines and attacks from Boris, but then I wouldn't have the seal recolor for their standard use.

 

Any help would be appreciated

It's not possible to mix animations between units.

The numbers in artmd.ini refer to the frames of the SHP file. If you want to give boris swimming animations, you need to extract boris's SHP and the seal's SHP, copy-paste the swimming frames from the seal's SHP into boris' using OS SHP editor.
