[Spell] Change of Model file after Locust Swarm

[Fjoelnir]

Hello

I'm trying to make a spell of my own based on Locust Swarm and I have been struck by this problem where my hero turns into a Hawk(Thunder Bird) after using the ability. My hero uses a custom made Model File and I tested with the basic Locust Swarm ability without any changes.
However after the ability comes to an end it seems my hero goes back to his normal self again.

Could anyone shed light on this?

Thank you for your help

Casting locust triggers a unit's alternate form - so a demon hunter would go into demon form. I don't know if that can be changed.

You could change the ability to say fan of knives and make a dummy to cast locust swarm, then set a trigger to move the dummy to your hero every second.

That is exactly what I want to change - I don't have any other problem with it, just that my hero turns into a Hawk.. I did not know that casting Locust Swarm triggers the transformation because Anub'arak doesn't seem to change. =/

Anub'arak changes too. His wings flap around every time he walks. I thinks that's why his dig animation was so buggy in the first place. Anyway I'm nit using my computer but maybe there's a required spell animation tag in Locust Swarm? Just delete it and the alternate animation won't be shown. Alternatively, you can remove the alternate animations of the model if you don't need it.

I was looking for the slot where it says 'model' or 'animation' on the spell page but I couldn't find anything related. There's no mention of animation, and the missile art is empty.
And I don't know what the alternate animations of my hero's model either-I wonder if it's something under 'Art-Special' ?
My hero's base model is Kael the BloodElf Prince but I'm using 'Bloodelf Wizard' model created by General Frank here on hiveworkshop.

My bad. I was thinking of Required Animation Names which is only for units. I guess the easy way to solve this is to delete the alternate animations of the model. The hawk bits are the alternate animation of that model. You can use mdlvis to delete those animations instead.
