Custom Berserk Buff Animation

[mythplatypuspwned]

I'm trying to make a Skill with the Berserk Effect, but with the animation for Bloodlust.
I modified the Berserk buff animation to use the Bloodlust animation.
But when I use the skill, the animation won't work right. Only one of the unit's hands gets the glowing effect, and the unit doesn't get bigger like in Bloodlust.

Try triggering it:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Berserk
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the right hand of (Casting unit) using >>>The effect here<<<<
    • Set Effect[1] = (Last created special effect)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the left hand of (Casting unit) using >>>The effect here<<<<
    • Set Effect[2] = (Last created special effect)
    • Wait >>Duration of ability here<< seconds
    • Special Effect - Destroy Effect[1]
    • Special Effect - Destroy Effect[2]

You can either use waits or timer. ANd fill

Or you could make a spell that creates a dummy to cast bloodlust on you? That could work.

Yes but that would double the effect of increases, make sure to remove the effects of Bloodlust only leaving the animation buff

Or you can remove the Berserk buff when the spell Is casted and add Bloodlust Buff.

That's exactly what I did before posting this.

How about trying my trigger part?

Sorry, I'm a little sleepy.
I looked back at my map and that wasn't what i did.

So I tried what you said, and now both hands have the effect of Bloodlust, but the unit still doesn't get bigger like in Bloodlust.

Just add this trigger:

• Animation - Change (Casting unit)'s size to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) of its original size

Just configure the Percentage if you want so you can experiment with it.

Okay, thanks. It works. I also used the trigger to make the unit bigger, and then smaller again when the effect wears off, but the unit doesn't get smaller again.

Does "change unit's size to 100%/100%/100% of its original size get it back to its original size? Or does it just make the unit the same size it already is?

And is there a way to use the animation from Bloodlust that makes the unit look like its growing?

For the returning to normal size, after the wait or timer in the trigger put another trigger on changing unit's size but for the percentage, all 100%.

Growing like not instant that it will grow? I fear there is no way...

Note, that the size % in this action

• Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s size to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) of its original size

is the original size of the model you use, not original size of the unit. Meaning that if in Object editor you set the value "Art - Scaling Value" to for example "2" and then use the action like this

• Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s size to (130.00%, 130.00%, 130.00%) of its original size

then you will scale down the unit by 70%.

Basically
Size 100% in that trigger action = "Art - Scaling Value: 1" in Object editor.
So 200% = Scaling value 2


You can make unit "grow" but it requires more complex trigger, where you periodically increase his size by 2%

Didnt know that so thanks for the additional information, the OP would appreciate it more with these additional infos.

No I meant that you use an instant spell that does not require buffs and make a trigger that makes a dummy cast bloodlust on you.

Okay, weird glitch.
I set the trigger to make the unit 100% of it's original size again. But what happens is it's actually smaller than before.

And lol I'm the OP

Well, thats what you want right? When the spell ends return to normal size so getting small? Or does it get smaller than the originaal size?

And yes you are the OP, for long terms, Original Poster! =)

 

[mythplatypuspwned]

I'm using Berserk, which doesn't require casting. I just want to use the special effect of Bloodlust, not the skill itself.

Not glitch. Look what I wrote a few posts above

Yes, you actually need a periodic trigger, a real variable and unit variable for each unit that casts it (if this is supposed to be MUI, you will need to make them array and index them)

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Size = (Size + 1.00)
    • Animation - Change Unit's size to (Size%, Size%, Size%) of its original size
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Size Greater than or equal to 30.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • Else - Actions

this is a simple trigger for 1 unit to make it grow by 30%. Size is real variable that is set to 100 in initial trigger, just like Unit is a unit variable set in ini trigger as well.

Thanks, Nich!

Oh okay! Hope you get what you want. that is all

Thanks, the scaling's fixed now.

Very good! So does it mean problem solved or is there still some problems?

Well, I think I can use this now, but I just wanna ask if there's any way to use the animation from Bloodlust where the unit looks like its growing.

I fear, no.

Okay, thanks ^^

No problem, bro!

Okay, but how do I mark the thread as solved? Or can only admins do that?

Only the admins can do that. Just wait for them to mark this. =)
