# animationNames

*Command · Animations · Arma 3 v1.58*

## Description

Returns [Array](../topics/Array.md) of [String](../topics/String.md)s where elements are the names of model animations, which should theoretically be available for use with [animate](../commands/animate.md) command.

```sqf
animationNames object
```

**Parameters:**

- `object`: [Object](../topics/Object.md)

**Returns:** [Array](../topics/Array.md) of [String](../topics/String.md)s

## Examples

### Example 1

```sqf
_names = animationNames static_AT;
```

 Returns: ["MainTurret", "MainGun", "MainTurret_destructX", "MainTurret_destructY", "MainTurret_destructZ", "MainGun_destructX", "MainGun_destructY", "MainGun_destructZ", "magazine_destruct", "ammo_belt_destruct", "bolt_destruct", "charging_handle_destruct", "damagehideVez_destruct", "damagehideHlaven_destruct", "damagehideRecoil_destruct", "Turret_shake", "Turret_shake_aside", "Magazine_hide", "Ammo_belt_hide", "muzzleFlash", "AddAutonomous_unhide", "bullet001_reload_hide", "bullet002_reload_hide", "bullet003_reload_hide", "bullet004_reload_hide", "bullet005_reload_hide", "bullet006_reload_hide", "bullet007_reload_hide", "bullet008_reload_hide"]
