[Unsolved] Play unit animation problem

I've only been working with the editor for a few days, so this might be an easily fixed problem but... I'm making a trigger that when a skill is cast on a target, the casting unit goes into unit animation. So I did

Animation - Play (Triggering unit)'s spell 2 animation.

When it works it looks great, but it really only works some of the time. The reason is that the triggering unit that has the skill has 3 spell animations, and so it only does the one i want 1/3 of the time.

So my question is, is there a way to make it so it only plays that certain animation? Or possibly just deactivate all the others. because I don't really need them.

Try playing the unit's spell - 2 animation for 3 times

well that doesn't help with the problem of getting rid of the other animations, i just want it to show the one spell for the animation. Best case scenario for that is it plays the animation 3x.

Change the animation name of the spell to the animation name you want ?

is there a way of doing that other than making it a variable? I tried making it into a variable and it worked sometimes, but not 100% of the time.

swt =.= you don't understand .. it's easy, don't even need a trigger

Just go to your spell , got to animation place and add spell, looping and then add the name of the animation you want.

Yeah thats not working for me... Can't give a spell the animation of a unit i don't think, unless you know otherwise

Like this wor

Ok so I can put a unit animation for the skill and that'll make it work? I'm editing this because I said "thats too hard to see" but I put it into paint and zoomed in and I could so nvm...

Thats basically what i've been messing around with. The que animation is something I just put in there as one of my attempts to make it work. I've tried it without it also.

Or use this script to play the unit animation.

call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(unit,index)
