Help with animations

[esdo]

Simply put, I want to play a unit's animation while its moved by SetUnitX/Y. Im using SetUnitAnimationByIndex(), but its not working.

My spell is a backflip, so when the caster uses it it performs a backflip, moving backwards a lil bit. Im using the troll warlord model, so the flip animation index is 2. However, the animation does not play at all during the "slide" ( or, while the unit is moving ) - It only plays after the slide ends. It seems as stand animation variants cannot be played while the unit is moving.

I have tried pausing the unit, it does not work.

Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure SetUnitAnimationByIndex works with SetUmitX/Y without stopping the animation. Charging Spells uses that principle.

Can you post your code?

Im sorry for bothering, it was really my mistake. I fixed it now, ty for the reply

Charging Spells uses that principle.

Yes, but I believe they use SetUnitAnimationByIndex() in the loop, so its constantly updating.

How did you fix it?

Depends, but as far as I know, Walk animation are looping so you only have to do it once.
