Oh man, I've wanted this too. If Anton doesn't already have a solution, I might be able to poke this issue this weekend.

Feel free to tackle it if you'd like. I just don't have the time to fiddle with it ATM.

So I've been researching into the problem but haven't actually had the time to fully tackle it. Figure I'd put up what I've found in case anyone has any insight they can contribute:

BIS_fnc_ambientAnim - Best set of continuously playing idle animations. Units are unable to leave animation or react to anything while in these. I also had an issue where some of these animations weren't propagating to all players on the server ("REPAIR_VEH_KNEEL") while others would play for a while then just stop ("KNEEL_TREAT"). There's no direct command to leave animations, but something like this:

{dude enableAI _x} forEach ["ANIM","AUTOTARGET","FSM","MOVE","TARGET"]; detach dude; dude switchMove "";

might work.

BIS_fnc_ambientAnimCombat is similar with animation end conditions, but has a much smaller list of available stand/watch animations. I'm not yet sure what a good universal end condition will be for this, if used.

playmove and switchmove are, of course, available for playing from the larger list of animations, but they do not run continuously and would require a loop solution. Not sure if this would run at risk of causing lag.
