Might be easier to make it a stand-alone mod you can drop your models into

Sounds pretty awesome! Be happy to give this a swing :).

I feel the opposite. Easier to check a box in your mod options when you want to work on animating your units instead of copy pasting stuff to another mod.

Just a gadget and widget

I guess you use CallAsUnit to avoid having to use a unitscript? Didnt think/know about that when I made first version

because

looks like this: http://pastebin.com/12H8EpPU (unitscript for the dancing lolimod girl)

Only the create() and animatederp() functions are written by hand.

But maybe not if you don't already run Chilli?

ctrl+A, ctrl+c, ctrl+v is then probably simpler.

N.B. In no way am I dissing Chilli

fun fact: over spring.exe you cant set modoptions and zerok lobby wont let you host local "being worked on" mods.

I find having a "editor mod" easier to use then putting gadget etc in the real mod: Just copy over 3d model + texture and adjust object3d="blabs3o" line in some unit def.

i'll dis chilli. if it uses chili then make a blank mod with chili in it so people can throw their crap in there, otherwise you have to download some one else's game with all the excessive bullshit attached and modify it just to run your tool.

Now in ZK

Car, to stop the unit from doing its normal animations while you pose it try
Spring.UnitScript.CreateScript ( unitID, table callIns ) -> nil
This deletes the unit's current script (whether it's a COB or Lua script doesn't matter), and sets it up with a brand new Lua unit script, initially registering the call-ins given in the table as (string, function) pairs.

(ie make it load an empty.lua)
