Can I make a Shoot ability..

[cursed_34]

to go with this model?

Privateer - The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site

 

[RunBa]

do you mean insta cast ability or storm bolt like ability?

 

[cursed_34]

Well for my ability, the base ability was Frost Bolt, I replaced the Storm Bolt buff with Slow Poison and altered that to make it look like the target's dazed(storm bolt art), which is what I want to happen. 300 damage and slow movement speed. I added a 1 second casting time to be realistic(load gun)

My question was if I could get the shooting animation of that model to occur for this spell.

 

[RunBa]

if that model has shoot animation you can.
i can not see it right now - office...
just use triger

• Animation - Play (your shooter) Shoot(or how it's name) animation

 

[cursed_34]

K it does have a shoot animation so Yay
How would i know what the animation name is, if it isn't shoot?

 

[RunBa]

No sorry. but it is an easy treigger. wait for a moment. i'll give it to ya

 

[cursed_34]

Nvm about the trigger, it IS simple, but what would I type for the shoot animation, let's say it isn't shoot?

 

[SkriK]

Download the model, open it in Wc3 model viewer and select animation to find which it is.

For the privateer model, it's "Attack Slam".

 

[cursed_34]

two things SkriK:

Attack Slam is the gun animation?
and where would I download model viewer.

Couldnt do it earlier

First you need to setup casting time for your shoot to be equal to shoot animation length of your shooter model.
Then

• Events
  • Unit - Unit starts casting an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) equal to (your shoot ability)
• Actions
  • Animation - Play (shooter)'s (shoot animation name) animation
  • Wait for (seconds equal to your shooter model animation)
  • Animation - Reset (shooter)'s animation

That's all. ok? try it...
