About Animation

[.mitsuki]

I've made two spells which are different from each other, I used two animations of the hero which is Attack 1 and Attack 2. The problem is, the animation doesn't work. The two spells just get random animation Attack 1 to 3 (There are three attack animations in the model I'm using)

I set the spell animation names to
String List ( For the first spell )
- Attack
- 1

String List ( Then the other )
- Attack
- 2

As far as I know, setting spesific animation at Art - Animation name is not possible. You can only define that is uses attack animation, but no which attack animation for example.

What you can do is use Unit begins casting an ability event, your ability as the condtion. Then start a timer that expires after 0.00 seconds. When the timer expires, use this:

• Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(unit, animationIndex)

You need to set the unit and the animation index correctly.

Can you give me an example? for where will I put the "animation names".

Can you give me an example? for where will I put the "animation names".

i think like this

• Set unit = (Triggering unit)
• Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_unit, 1)

 

[.mitsuki]

is the animation name only 1?
will not include "attack" 1?

 

[Heaven Editor]

the animations are indexed which mean the number you set in SetUnitAnimationByIndex parameter determine which animation.

for instance.. demon hunter model... if i do this call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(Demon_Hunter_Unit, 16) will make demon hunter attack in alternate form...
