Freeze animation

[Chaosy]

EDIT:
I solved it. You have to see the unit when he started to play the animation apparently..

Instead of making a new thread I will post my new issue here instead.
I want my unit to carry a torch in his hand, I made a custom ability based on item attack +1 and changed it, but it wont display in game.

original post

I tried to freeze a unit in the middle of an animation for a cinematic visual effect, however it does not work for me.
I made three tests, two do not work while one work.

does not work #1

works for some weird reason

I can't use the working trigger though because I need another event..

There is no attachment point on the doodad torch model. Ask a modeler how to add one. It's very simple, and I've don it before, I just forget how. It will take like 2 minutes, but you need vertex modifier. Please tell me you are making a jungle book map and Mogli fights Sheer Kahn with a torch

Nope.
But I found a torch model in the model section and now it works fine.
