Can you do this...

[Mr. Bob]

So I'm wondering if its possible to base wether a unit misses another unit on what animation is currently playing.

So for instance, if you have a model of a trooper ducking behind a piece of cover, and every time the trooper pops up to attack, it can be hit. But, while it's behind cover, (not playing the attack animation) all the incoming fire is a miss.

I don't want the units to not be able to fire at the ducking unit, I just want them to miss when the covering unit is not playing the attack animation.

So is this possible with triggers or code or something?

that sounds pretty simple to do. just give the unit an autocast ability that activates whenever attacked. (or a percentage chance to auto activate) and then make that "duck behind cover" animation a "spell" animation that is set to that autospell

ooh good idea...didn't think of that.

That way I can make the attack speeds and stuff upgrade and I can also manually bring him in and out. Thankies thar archy.

if in the cover add ability, 100% chance evasion, if outside the cover, remove ability...
