Help: Make unit do animation when ability is cast

[Hinte]

I want to make my abomination do his attack - 2 animation when he uses an ability. I can only make it so he randomly uses either attack 1 or attack 2 animation but i want it to be attack - 2 all the time, any help would be sweet.

Im pretty sure this will work

Event- Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability

Conditions- (Unit type of (Casting unit)) Equal to Abomination

Action- Play (Casting units)'s attack animation

Yes but then he will randomly use one of his 2 attack animations, i want him to use a certain one 100% of the time.

Well... there is two ways: One: If the unit has a actual selectable Attack 2 animation, that will usually be "attack,slam" if using spell animations. Buuut most units DOESENT have as such animation, and any attack animations on such units are made to be random. (even though i am pretty sure the abomination has one) Two: You need a Jass/vJass trigger. And that i am unable to help with =(

Or you can simply swt "Art - Animation Names" to Attack,2.

Look at the image:

or just use the jass script, cos "play animation" sux hard.

Works fine for me.

It depends on base ability. I tested on Firebolt.

Coolio =)

That doesnt work for me
If i put it as attack,2 he still randomly uses either attack 1 or attack 2.

Well then maybe if we combined the posts into one maybe it migth work
LIKE THIS!!!

Action- Play (Casting units)'s attack,2 animation

But idk if it would work D:

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(GetTriggerUnit(),4)

That works for abomination, for other units you'll have to change the "4" to something else.
