Attack slam animation tag help

[Stefan.K]

Hi, there is model that has attack slam animation but how do i use it when casting spell such as "war stomp"? When i write "attack, slam" in animation tags it plays slam animations.

I have come to give you these words: 'I have no idea!'

I humbly apologize for being unable to answer yer question, good sir Stefan. My knowledge of spell animations is as limited as a brick in a dish-washer.

 

[Stefan.K]

Well, okay. Someone else may help.

If it's in Object Editor,
You should put at Animation side

Spell
Slam
instead of Spell Slam

 

[Stefan.K]

No, you got it wrong, i want to use Attack Slam animation, not Spell Slam. The model has both, but even if i type Attack, Slam in object editor it plays Spell Slam. If i change name of spell slam to attack slam in magos will it do anything?

 

[Hantoo]

If you change the Animation it should work

It should, yes. I don't know why, but sometimes WE flat out refuses to use the Attack Slam and uses Spell Slam instead.

So, i just need to switch the names betveen them. Thanks all +rep.

You need to do it in 2 entries.
add tag "attack" confirm then add tag "slam" confirm in animation tags.Not "attack , slam" in one tag it doesn't work.
Tauren chieftain use attackslam for his shockwave ability.Take a look at how it's done for his shockwave.

Tried everything, it won't work. I just changed the name in magos.

Maybe because the attack slam of the model is wrongly named.
The sequence name must be "Attack Slam" and not Attack - Slam"

Maybe it is because of that. I thought it didn't work because the model has both "spell slam" and "attack slam".

When you use attack animations for spells and triggers the units seem to only be able to use the attack animation for the current animation tag applied to them instead of what you put in the trigger or ability.

You could name the animation Spell Slam, much easier. Attack Slam is the animation used for critical hits.

Edit: I see the model already had a spell slam animation. You can name it Spell (any other animation token).
Examples: Spell Channel, Spell Gold, Spell Lumber, Spell Alternate
