Attack Animations with Items

[Jackhamme]

Sorry to post another thread so quickly but I really need to know how to change a units attack animations when he has an item equipped. I am now using the Villager 255 animation model, when he doesn't have weapons he attacks using his fists (this is default and it is fine left like this) but when the player picks up a weapon I want him to use different animations he has for the item when he attacks.

Anyone know what to do here?

view the model of the villager then view the terrain editor.
Now read the animation strings above the model
You can also use animation index but i dont know how to get them

Add custom Bash ability to the item, set all the fields of the ability to 0 except chance to bash. Put that to 100% and set the animation names of the ability to animation you want.

So if I set that to multiple animations will it randomly pick one?

Edit: randomly pick one of the animations every attack*

It should (I didn't test it yet.) Let me know how does that works for you

 

[Jackhamme]

it doesn't seem to work at all :/

 

[Jackhamme]

if the animation I want to play is called: Attack Morph 3

then should i make the Art - Animation Names: attack, morph 3 ?

here is a test map, you can play with the 'Integer' variable, until you find the right animations. currently i set it to random number from 20 to 30.

pick the Claw of attack +15

You should use SetUnitAnimationByIndex(GetAttackingUnit(),integer) with the event EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_ATTACKED

In GUI it would be kinda like this:

• TempTrigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Attacking unit) has an item of type Your Item) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set TempInteger = 0
    • -------- TempInteger is the index of the animation you wanna play --------
    • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(GetAttacker(),udg_TempInteger)

And if you wanna do it in more than a single item:

• TempTrigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • ((Attacking unit) has an item of type Sword) Equal to True
        • ((Attacking unit) has an item of type Dagger) Equal to True
        • ((Attacking unit) has an item of type Bow) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Attacking unit) has an item of type Sword) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Set TempInteger = 1
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Attacking unit) has an item of type Dagger) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Set TempInteger = 2
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • ((Attacking unit) has an item of type Bow) Equal to True
              • Then - Actions
                • Set TempInteger = 3
              • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(GetAttacker(),udg_TempInteger)

I have all the animations I want written down. I just want to know how to make the villager use specific animations when he picks up an item.

For example: There is a one handed sword in the game he can pick up, when he obtains it, it gives him the model I have added to the sword but he still punches and kicks rather that uses the animations I have set in the option in object editor Art - Animation Names.

I want to know how exactly do I change his animations for auto attacking with different items.

 

[Jackhamme]

You should use SetUnitAnimationByIndex(unit,integer)

How exactly do I implement this into the map?

Please dont double post.
You will get banned for double posting.

Mods,merge the posts please

My computer is freaking sorry if it looks like I am posting 1 million times

Thank you so much wi3122! + rep

 

[Almia]

you can implement SetUnitAnimationByIndex using the trigger action Custom script.

 

[Jackhamme]

I am terrible at custom scripts... It keeps giving me an syntax error with the custom script even though I have modified it. I has set it as:

SetUnitAnimationByIndex(GetAttacker(),udg_Temp_Integer) because the variable I am using is Temp_Integer...

What am I doing wrong? (probably everything )

Edit: I wasn't adding in the call at the start...... I haven't done map editing in a long time lmao. Thanks to everyone that has helped me!

 

[wi3122]

• Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(GetAttacker(),udg_Temp_Integer)

Remember put call


You should set it as:

call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(GetAttacker(),udg_Temp_Integer)

 

[Almia]

why no calls?call SetUnitAnimationByIndex?

 

[TwoVenomous]

errr, i already attached a test map there, but you didn't give attention at all..

anyway, glad you found the solution.
