Finding Animation Index

[PrisonLove]

How can you find an animations index without just blind guessing?

I need to use call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_WhichUnit, udg_Integer) for multiple units and I would prefer not to blind guess what number the animations are.

Thanks.

I think the only way is to convert the model to a .mdl, open it with a text file and look at the animation index in there.

I just create triggers:

• Animation 1
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing 1 as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Unit, 1)

Repeat 1-6 or whatever.

You'd need a lot more than 6. Maybe you could make something work with arrow keys?

That method worked very well thank you.

My reply was quite incomplete however. This is what I use:

• Powah
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing 1 as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Hero1, 1)
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Hero1, 2)
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Hero1, 3)
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • ...

Then just count the animations...
