Forcing animations...

[Kingz]

I tried forcing a walk animation on the priestess of the moon unit but it does nothing?
Anyone knows animation tag which would make her play the animation or a why the GUI commands doesn't work?

umm,
Event:
-Time
--Periodic event, every 1s? of game time

Action:
-animation
--Play units walk animation

not sure if the event is needed

but if it is, then the animation will only play once, that is probable the reason you dnt see it.

make the trigger i wrote above
then activate it through the original trigger using action:
Trigger, run trigger.

I think you can't play walk animation by triggering unfortunatly.The unit must walk all the way.

 

[Day-Elven]

Yea. You can set a very low movement speed and a very fast movement animation =)
So unit will run without moving.

+Rep to Callahan
@cool_is_i
I tried that already...

I think I managed playing the walk animation by editing the model and renaming the animation to something else. It was some versions ago though, so it may not work anymore (or my memory could be wrong)

 

[Kingz]

Well i won't configure the models, still it's the thought that counts^^

I had the same problem, but using the Jass version of play animation works.
2sec, and ill get you the code.

call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_YOURUNIT,1)

The "1" is the animation index. Just keep testing/changing the number till her walk animation plays. I guess her walk animation is 6.

You can use the Animation - Reset (unit) animation
to reset it back to what shes doing.

So using that jass funtion i could force blademaster to play attack slam animation while he is walking (moving to a point), to create a jumping slam?

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Yep. I used it for my map, wich uses a sliding like movement (Moving a unit ever 0.03 sec).

Also, just to notice. When using the gui "Play units animation", it actuallly plays. But its revered to its normal state about .01 second after. I really dont know why : /
