spell question :/

[pomop]

well i made a few spells for my ORPG im making, and every time i cast any of the "melee" spells, it still shows the caster animation.. this is my current trigger, i have tried to do other variations but :/ (base spell is fireball, but there should be a way to change the animation)

Go actually into the spell through the object editor and change the animation there to a sword swing or something. I don't look at those spell casting type animations that often so i don't know whats there but there might be a melee sorta cast looking thing in there if you look hard enough

You can easy set the animation in object editor in your spell in a line "animation names"

i have tried.... i just cant seem to find it... the closest thing i have found is the Art - Animation Names.. but i dont know what to change it too, i removed the default action of it but it still plays the animation :/

The Animation names can be seen if you look at the models through the object editor, well, most common names are:

attack (plays attack animation)
spell (plays spell standard animation)
spell channel (plays channeling animation)
stand (plays stand animation)
spell slam (plays another spell animation)
walk (plays the walk animation)
morph (for example for the demon hunter, plays the morph animation for metamorphose)

That are the most common ones.

For your purposes put here: Art - Animation Names this: attack

You can see animations when you click on a unit, than it shows the model of that unit and you can browse between animations, than when you ind the animation you like, just rewrote the text above model, but im not sure how to define attack - 1, attack - 2
