[Trigger] Animation related problem

[Marsunpaisti]

I have made a charge ability that moves unit periodically towards point for 1 second. But the problem is here that the hero just moves forward and plays no animation and when I put Animation - Play units walk animation in the trigger, the unit still just stands and keeps moving forward.

Some more details about your trigger would be nice
It makes it a lot easyer to help if we can see it instead of having to imagine it

You need to use a custom script line:

• Set YourUnit = ...
• Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_YourUnit, <animation id>)

You have to check the unit's walk animation id. You can get it by converting that unit's mdx file to mdl, open it in notepad, search the "sequences" part and find "walk", the first animation listed there is 0, then it goes 1, 2, 3.... count until you get to the "walk" animation and that is the animation id. You just put it instead of the "<animation id>".

The variable doesn't have to be named YourUnit, you can name it whatever you want, but change that part after udg_ to the new variable name as well.

If anything's not clear, I can explain further.

Do you set the animation that way after you move it, or before?

 

[Silvenon]

Huh? You do that when you want the unit to move, it will play the "walk" animation until you reset its animation. So I guess the answer is "before". So in the beginning of the charge.

I am sure you dont need to search in notepad.

Usually it is in order like it shows in the left panel of the WE.

like
stand
stand - 1
attack
attack - 1
attack - 2
walk

so ID should be 5

 

[Silvenon]

Yeah, most of the times it's in the order in which WE shows it, but you can never be sure....
