hi

question 1:
i want to use the attack - 2 animation of a unit if it casts a specific spell (with animation - name)
the problem is that it does a random attack animation, sometimes the 2nd only. so which string i have to use?

question 2:
how to make a unit invisible for a specific player (i have seen sth like that, it works with transparency = 0, but i dont know how)

question 3:
well i need a sand storm effect (like crixalis' one in DotA), where can i get one? a forum said that it can be done with the impale sand effect, but its a EFFECT, so it disappears after it has played his animation.

thanks

For #2
- if you are sure it's using transparency, then I guess it could be done through GetLocalPlayer().

For #3
- dunno these spells, but didn't they use a dummy unit which has "impale sand effect" model?

#2
This will be using an artificial invisibility with GetLocalPlayer() manifest.

Unit is attacked
Unit type of attacking unit == your unit type
Add attacking unit to unit group
Turn trigger 2 on

Every 0.00 seconds
Pick units in unit group

Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(GetEnumUnit, 0)
remove picked unit from group​

Turn off this trigger

Find the correct index of the animation, change the 0.
