Create a unit to come up from the ground

How to create a unit from the ground to come up? For example, a tree grows from the ground

 

[IcemanBo]

Play tree's "birth" animation and change unit's animation speed to your needs. A unit could work similar if it has a suited animation.

or use the crypt fiend ability but the unit will burrow again at low health if you do unless you delete the ability after its use

how ?

I still don't understand what you mean

 

[Armelior_is_back]

I mean the enemy AI will always try to save a unit before death by making it burrow if it can, which can be annoying if you don't have detection. If it's player controlled, no problem.

And the unit must have an animation for that of course and there aren't that many : crypt fiends, scarabs, some custom models here on hive... What unit do you want ?

I want the unit to be a tree with a gold miner growing from the ground, does it depend on the model?

 

[Gnuoy]

how?

something like this:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Animation - Play Footman 0000 <gen>'s birth animation

problem is, i don't think most units have a birth animation?

------------------------------

does it depend on the model?

yes and the easy way you can check what animations a model has is in World Editor, select the unit you want in Window -> New Palette -> Units
and on the left you can view its animations:

that's not always true, depends on the AIs settings:
