Blademaster critical strike without slam animation?

[hobbles]

Like the title says, how do I have the blademaster do critical strikes but with a normal attack animation as opposed to his slam animation?

• Critical strike
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Critical Strike
  • Actions
    • Animation - Play (Triggering unit)'s Attack animation
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Animation - Reset (Triggering unit)'s animation

This trigger over-rides the attack slam animation, so it should work.

It won't work with Starts the effect of ability for a passive.

Click on the Crit Strike spell then at the very top of the fields there is a Art - Animation Art, change that to attack, not spell slam.

Using Wait in triggers is highly discouraged also.

Is this swedish??

 

[hobbles]

By default, the animation is set to nothing :S...

Also, adding attack to the animation list didn't work

 

[Sparten1one7]

hmm, ok ill look into to it, I just said that without opening WE.

EDIT: well it doesn't seem to work so, what are you using this spell for? To show the damage of attacks by setting the multiplier to 1? or you just don't like him jumping up like that?

Are you proficient with triggers? You could make a dummy critical strike ability.

 

[Sparten1one7]

That would mean that you would have to recreate the hero stat build and current stats which could be a whole waste of time.

Via the Object Editor select your ability. First data on the list is "Art - Animation Names". The default for Critical Strike are "attack" "slam", delete the "slam" so it will show regular attack animation.

 

[Interceptor]

Error. Art - Animation Names in Critical Strike is empty.

 

[idodik]

?! That's weird... Does changing to "attack" work?

You'd better read other posts before replying so fast

Not at all. It's not the most efficient or best system but it's doable, and since it seems to be the only way to do it...

Of course, you'd only want to do it if it's very very important that the slam animation not play, 'cause GUI critical strikes are abusable in a lot of ways and don't sync up.

well, you can create custom critical strike based on damage detection system...~

Yeah, I'm using Drunken Brawler to show the damage done. Normally, I wouldn't care if he jumped up or down w/e, but it kind of detracts from knowing when spells are cast because one of my blademaster's abilities is based off pulverize, which is passive and has the slam animation

 

[Sparten1one7]

Well that makes it alot harder. I don't know what too do, I suppose using a different model without attack slam, but yea, i dunno, That or you could make the pulverize use the spin move, that makes sense as a aoe damage move.

 

[hobbles]

Bump. Anybody?

 

[Maximilianx]

Only way to fix this is editing the animation names for the model.
No way to make critical strike/pulverize/bash/cleave play any animation other than attack slam unless you program your own.

:O
