Question about adding to a demo

Animations can be added to a character model through the MOV command. For example, if we want your Lord Recluse to dance, we would add the following line:
1000 2166 MOV D_MONKEY
Looking at this line, note that the first number stands for time (in milliseconds). Right now it's at 1000, which means it will happen 1 second after the previous line.
The second number here is the ID number associated with Lord Recluse in your demo. Note that it's almost always going to be a different number from one demo to the next- it's just what the game happens to assign to the model.
The rest is pretty self explanatory- MOV just tells the model to animate, and D_MONKEY is the name of the animation. The model will do this until the animation finishes or is told something else to do.
That all said, I've taken what's needed from your demo and put it all together, adding in what I believe you're looking for. The result is the following:

You can just copy/paste this chunk into notepad, save it as a .cohdemo file, and it should be good to go. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask

Thats hawt.
Its the exact animation I needed.
Yer the man!!
I have this here demo record that I made as a test.
demorecord
Its lord recluse standing on a truck then laughing.
If you download it give it a sec, it has recluse hovering for a bit then he'll laugh. But thats the whole movie.
I figured that much out, my question is: How do I add animations to the model?
What I want is to have lord recluse punch the truck he is standing on. So I need the Statesman ground punching animation.
Which means I actually have two questions.
Anyone have the animation string for the Statesman ground punch power, and how do I add it to the model?
Thank you for your time.
PS the website I have to upload files is not the best. You gotta click on it and wait like 15 seconds. I know its not the most convinent, sorry about that.
