decay anim problem

[Sephiroth_VII]

I made a decay animation that is 23,000-80,600 frames long at 960 frames per second. which is 60 seconds long. NonLooping.

But in the game when the unit dies the flesh quickly goes down underground and then reapears like two seconds later and then slowly goes underground like its supposed to. Why does it go down quickly at first?

Warcraft 3 has two decays: A decay flesh and a decay bone. It all depends on the Combat - Death Type of the unit. I think for one decay anim you want "Cannot raise, does decay". But try all 4.

Thx for help donut it worked.

Now another question: In warcraft I want my model to decay slower than the 2 seconds that wc usally uses. But If you change the decay time in the advanced properties in we it changes it for all units. How do you make just one model or unit decay slower or faster?

I don't think making the sequence longer or shorter affects it much because in magos the decay is much slower like I want it, but in game it scales it to the 2 seconds..

It will automatically decay the flesh and bone to set times; sorry, this is global.
You can, however, using triggers suspend corpse decay, or create a permanent corpse.

but why on earth are you animating at 960fps?

I dunno, wc uses 960 frames per second and I read it from some tut a long time ago. Its what I'm used to. Doesn't really matter does it.

yes it does matter...it's easier to do at a normal 30fps...it's ridiculous to have 900 frames for a single second if you're not going to use them...just look at the huge time intervals you have! At a normal framerate, 80,600 frames = 45 minutes!! I don't think you're animating speeding bullets or something. Don't know where you read that (though I remember reading it too a long time ago), but it's bogus, at least if you use art tools.
