Animation issues

[Abelhawk]

I'm trying to make the creep troll use its "Spell -Berserk" animation, but when I try to, half the time it does its "Spell -Ensnare" animation and the other half it fires correctly. Is the game just reading the word "spell" and guessing based on that instead of everything afterward?

I even tried this JASS function:

call SetUnitAnimationByIndex( GetEnumUnit(), 9 )

Animation 9, the ensnare one, works fine, but 10 (which should logically be the Berserk one because it's next in the order) does absolutely nothing. I'm getting really frustrated with how hard it is to make a simple animation display using triggers.

The "spell - berserk" animation is actually indexed as number 3. Unfortunately, the default world editor model viewer is not accurate when it comes to showing the animation sequence. When I need to know what's the number of a certain animation, I simply open the model using the old Warcraft 3 Viewer software and look at the animation order on the Treeview window. Alternatively, you can also save the model as .MDL and open it with notepad. Then just check the animation order.

Niiiice! How do you save/export the model as an .MDL file? This could be super useful.

How do you save/export the model as an .MDL file?

Use MPQ Edit to extract the mdx from the main game data MPQ files. Then use a mdx<->mdl converter to get a mdl from it.
