Animation Problem (making a hero loop Spell Stand)

[sebbestuffa]

Hey, I have a little problem. I have Arcimonde standing in the middle of my map, but he is just standing there. I want to get so that he repeat an animation all the time. Ex, Spell Slam. How do I do that?

 

[Absense]

Triggers! lol

But you can do it this way I think to
Get an auto cast spell-Cold Arrows
change around the effects and all buffs damage all that radious stuff like that
and make it so that the mana cost is 1 and the units mana is 1000000 with 10000 mana regen there your done and then just make sure autocast is turned on and there but use triggers so it just attacks or makes the spell target himself? try that anyway GOOD LUCK!

Yes, but i need the "Slam Spell" animation.

set the used animations to spell and slam

dont use cold arrows, u need a target for that
do sth like berserk or such

• Events
  • Time - Every x seconds of the game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Animation - Play Archimonde's Spell Slam animation

Where x is the time the Spell Slam animation takes to complete. You can check this by choosing a model in the Object Editor, mark Archimonde (don't select), alt+tab to your main Word Editor screen (with the terrain) and use the arrows near the animation name that's above the unit preview (to the left of your screen).
In case you can't find all this, I looked it up for you: It's 3.133s. So set the the time in the event to 3.133 (or 3.13)

If you want him to start/stop, just turn that trigger on/off.

 

[darkrider]

perhaps you want to make an string array variable... store there some animation names... and inside the periodic event trigger use a random number between the minimum array value of your string variable and the maximum... this will make your unit to play a random animation every time the triggers fires...

 

[doom_sheep]

give him "channel" ability

usually it channels likie 160 secs or something but if u put it to 0 i believe he will repeat the animation endlessly.

and order him to "special - channel" in the beginning, obviously.

 

[Palaslayer]

not every x seconds

it does it the whole time as far as i know until u reset it, what u, of course, not do

 

[Avator]

No. It only plays the animation once until you give it a new order that involves any animation.

 

[Palaslayer]

so you have to know how long the animation lasts

i think u can find and manipulate the data under the object data of tthe unit, right?

 

[Avator]

You can't change the animation speed of a specific animation. You can however check the speed, but I already explained that in my first post.

Thanks for all the help I got, but now the problem is solved
