Crypt Lord Alternate shell model

[Kam]

A long time ago I saw the Shell model that the crypt lord morphs into somewhere, but I can't seem to find it and haven't been able to for some time.

Anyone have it?

The animations are already on the Crypt Lord

• Morph (Morphs into the defensive position)
• Morph Defend (Morphs back into a Crypt Lord)
and the
• ONHOLD Stand Spell Defend Alternate (Morph without the "digging" animation)

You ment this right? Or do you mean something else?

 

[Kam]

That's what I mean. I was wanting to make a morph spell like Raven form, etc. I remember seeing a separate model.

 

[takakenji]

so when it moves its still underground?

 

[Kam]

What I'm looking for is for the CL to morph into a stationary shell that still has use of it's abilities.

 

[Zpider]

Is that not what ONHOLD Stand Spell Defend Alternate animation is for?

 

[Kam]

I can't seem to get it to work with Bear form, could you attach a test map with it functioning correctly?

Also, where do you see the onhold animation - it's not listed on the models animations.

It's one of those uncommon animation names that World Editor nor the Wc3 engine don't recognize very well (like the bla animations from the Storm, Earth and Fire Pandarens). You can only see these animations in model viewers and editors (Magos War3 Model Editor for instance).

The only way I know how to make the alternate animation work is to edit the model and rename that animation to a more compatible name such as "Stand Alternate" and import the edited model.
And yes, this involve a filesize increase in your map.

Perhaps there's an alternative way where you could do some trigger tricks to activate that animation, but I'm no expert of triggering stuffs. So I don't know.

Well I could get around that if there was a separate shell model. I'll experiment with triggers but if We doesn't recognize it I don't know how it would work.
