detect unit has finished animation?

[userid907]

can we detect if unit has finish his attack animation then deal X damage, can we?
except using wait.

 

[Warseeker]

You mean the animation duration, you can see that in World Editor by selecting a unit then where you can find his animation, see how long an animation takes (Ex : Attack - 1)

 

[userid907]

no, i want to create a spell.
when unit cast the spell, we force it play his attack animation, after the "attack" animation finish we damage the targeted enemy.

 

[The_Silent]

One ways is to queue another animation, than detect if the newly queued animation is running, if it is, the other stopped. Then just reset animations before the queued animation actually shows ingame.

Edit: There seems to be no direct way to detect current animation of an unit..

 

[userid907]

i dont know what your mean.
how can i do that?

 

[The_Silent]

i dont know what your mean.
how can i do that?

Tested it, it sadly doesn't work since there is no way to test for animations at all apparently.

 

[userid907]

oh, no.

 

[Chaosy]

There is no good way to do this as far as I know.

You can manually check how long the animation lasts in the model preview window and then just wait that long with the code. However all units do obviously not have attack animations that last for exactly the same time so in some maps it wont work.

If you decide to wait for one second it will more or less suit most animaions because they are between 0.8 and 1.5 seconds most of the time.

I'll assume you want to deal damage after the animation, then in that case you could use:

• Events
• Unit - Unit Finishes Casting An Ability

with the Channel Ability with a Follow Through Time.
The Follow Through Time will dictate how long the unit will play the animation before the effects start, so go trial and error until you find the appropriate Follow Through Time that matches the animation.

Note: It may not match every unit type's attack animation.

here is my spell description : Barbossa's favorite gun. he use it to shot his enemy arm mainly to disable their attacks. enemies arm that got shotted from this gun receive damage and get their attacks disabled for 2 Second if the target range is less than 800 range. but if the enemy range is far more greater than 800 range, Barbossa will use his scope to get the better view of his target, and after few seconds, he will shot the enemies vital spots. deals greater damage and instant kill if the enemy hp is below 15%. max 1500 range.

if distance between target and caster is > 800, caster will shot target (Spell Chain) else caster will play scope animation (Spell Channel) after animation end, caster will shot target (Spell Chain)

sadly caster does'nt do anything.
and if i use wait, the spell not MUI anymore

I'll assume you want to deal damage after the animation, then in that case you could use:

• Events
• Unit - Unit Finishes Casting An Ability

with the Channel Ability with a Follow Through Time.
The Follow Through Time will dictate how long the unit will play the animation before the effects start, so go trial and error until you find the appropriate Follow Through Time that matches the animation.

Note: It may not match every unit type's attack animation.

and this does'nt work ;-;

 

[Kakerate]

As other have said, you can find the duration of a specific animation. All you should need to do is just play that animation and start a timer for the duration of the animation. Hook the spell onto a trigger that runs when that timer ends.

 

[userid907]

if i use that trick, my spell still MUI?

 

[Kakerate]

You might have to use an integer or real if you want it to be MUI, and make a timer using them. If the animation is 0.66s long, you would pry want the periodic trigger run every 0.03s, and set the integer for that instance at 22.

Every time it runs, it checks to see if the integer is at 0, and if it is then run the spell or whatever. The integer variable would have to be an array, of course, but this could definitely be MUI.

A common misconception

and this does'nt work ;-;

After reading the description, I'm pretty sure my suggestiion would work. But meh, too lazy to create a test map.

It would not.

The animation duration is (likely) not the same of all units. Thus the animation is not necessarily finished when the spell goes on cooldown. Do not confuse animation with cast time.
Would be kinda funny if stormbolt had a 1 second cast time (due the animation being 1 second long) while it has a 2 second casttime for a paladin (just an example).

That's why I said do a trial and error until the follow through time matches the animation duration. He's using it for a single unit (Barbossa)

And it's channeling time not casting time, they're different.

what would the array refer to? the TempInt?

yeah, i know we can use Magtheridon96 Mui Triggres with Waits tutorial, but my trigger has Loop, how can i do that?

I should use Kakerate suggestion first
