[Trigger] Animation Index

[xDeathKnightx]

Okay, i am using the Villager with 185Animations, and i went through them, listing them down for about an hour, so i could use animation Indexing and make a really cool fight scene to test it with, and it doesn't work.

The trigger it's self works fine, because i applied cameras and stuff, and it did them, but the villagers don't do the animations.

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Camera - Apply Camera 002 <gen> for Player 1 (Red) over 0.00 seconds
    • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(gg_unit_H004_0002, 55)
    • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(gg_unit_H004_0001, 55)
    • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(gg_unit_H004_0005, 55)

Could someone help me out here? They are supposed to all do roundhouse kicks, but they don't do anything.

The Map also saves fine, so the trigger and the scripts aren't wrong.

Could you provide a test map?

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Yeah i'll send you the map i am working on, it's already set up, for the testing of this.

Set the units into variables at map initialization and use the variables. That worked for me.

How would i use the custom script with a Variable?

 

[Weep]

GUI variables in JASS/Custom Script are just called udg_ and then the variable name, eg. ThisPeasant would be udg_ThisPeasant. (udg = User Defined Global)

I suspect the problem is happening because you don't reference those pre-placed units anywhere else in GUI, just in custom script. Strangely, the editor only makes those variables for pre-placed units if they're used somewhere in a GUI trigger element, so in effect, you're trying to apply animations to units that have never been defined as far as WC3 is concerned.

Or, if that's not the case, then I dunno.

 

[Maker]

^Yes, that is the issue. I've seen it happening before.

If you make a GUI trigger and then delete it (using the unit-variable) it will also solve the problem. This always happens to me with preplaced units.

this happened to me before in which gg_unit_??? cant be loaded...better make a GUI variable and reference it that way (udg_BALHHH)...
