How to play this animation?

[RobertMKD]

How do you play the animation for "Stand 2" or "Stand 3" for a unit through triggers?

Writting it down like that does not work.

PlayAnimationByIndex(unit, index)
or something like that.

Time and time again people ask about specific animations. I will not try to dig for old threads, we only need moderators on HIVe to remove them so that the fucking memory space dont fuck up like they are right now. Anyway back to the point about animations. You can use custom script to play animation by Index which I need someone else to explain as I forgot wait let me check my book . .
call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_leaper, 1)
you can use GUI variable but remember to include udg_ infront that is a code that will use the GUI variable. Enjoy

Wait, so, first I set the unit animation by index, and the play it by index when I want?
So, I need a variable for the unit only right?

 

[Acutesharpness]

yep and use the custom script in the trigger

No, SetUnitAnimationByIndex plays the animation of a unit based on the frame sequence. So if "Stand" animation is from frame 1 to 1000 and "Walk" is from frame 1001 to 2500. Then SetUnitAnimationByIndex(unit, 0) will play "Stand" animation while SetUnitAnimationByIndex(unit, 1) plays the "Wallk" Animation. Just view the animation sequence in Mdlvis or test each index until your desired animation is played.
Note that each model file can have different frame sequence.
Therefore, index 0 may play "Stand" to some units, while it may play "Attack" or "Spell" or "Walk" to other units. It all depends on the model it is using.

Okay but this PlayAnimationByIndex(unit, index) does not work.. I don't know why

 

[Nichilus]

because as others pointed out it's SetAnimationByIndex. I wrote that command from the memory, but wasn't sure if I have it correct (hence the "or something like that")

 

[Acutesharpness]

used the exact words
"call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_leaper, 1)"
in the custom script, make sure you use GUI varial leaper (leap is a unit variable)

Okay, I know that thank you all
