Defend Animation

Hi!

I've added the Defend (footman) ability to a Hero I've created. Is it possible to give the model a change in color or any other effect while the defend ability is being used. How could I do it?


Best!

You can try to change the color of the model with a trigger:

• Changing color when defending
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to Your_Hero //I didn't understand if you want to change the color only when a specified hero uses the ability, if you don't want this just remove this condition
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(defend))
      • Then - Actions
        • Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s vertex coloring to (50.00%, 50.00%, 50.00%) with 0.00% transparency
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(undefend))
          • Then - Actions
            • Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 0.00% transparency
          • Else - Actions

Ok, pretty cool!

I'll have a look at that, still a noob and don't know much about triggers. I've checked the footman unit and the defend ability and I can't even find where it select a different model (animation) when the defend ability is being used, maybe it's also in triggers.

Thanks man!
