Voxel Animation Rate

Another newbie question, but how do I actually Edit a voxel its movement animation rate?

I tried Rate & AnimRate, but that isn't working.

IdleRate / WalkRate (I believe former is used in every situation where the unit is not moving, which is when WalkRate is used) in rules(md).ini can be used to control this to an extent. Since the values influence how many game frames it takes for the SHP / voxel animation to advance to the next frame, 1 is the smallest value you can use while still displaying an animation and you cannot use this to make the animations faster, only slower.

Ares also adds AirRate to the mix, which only takes effect when the unit is in air.

Ohhhhh. I am dumb. I thought WalkRate was only used for SHP based units.
Apologies and thank you. Very Happy

With idlerate on the unit is playing movesound even it's not moving which is annoying

The HVA animation speed depends on the game speed, and affected by rendering delays while in action. IdleRate tells the unit to keep pretending it is still active when stopped, which isn't exactly the same when it is pausing hovering.

I use IdleRate to keep certain helicopters from "turning off" when landed, which produces a spin-up and spin-down cycle during that state, but when hover idling there is no spin-down effect just a reduced continuous rate.
