Help with mdlvis animating

[EdgeOfChaos]

I have a problem with mdlvis: any animation I make won't show up in WC3. It's like it doesn't detect it as an animation. I even tried just re-naming one default animation, and it doesn't show up now. Is there some list you need to add animations to, for them to play in WC3?

Can you attach an example model?

There's an animation "Shock Wave" which is a renamed and slowed down spell animation. It doesn't work at all.

"Shock Wave" is not a valid animation name. Rename it to "Spell Slam" or something.

So what format do the names need to be in to be valid?

I asked a similar question and I got some helpful replies.

I just tried to make one for Dragon Turtle with animation "Attack Slam" but it still doesn't work. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? It doesn't show up in WE, and when ordered to play the animation, he does a normal attack.

(Ignore how bad it is )

What do you mean? It shows up for me. Have you tried restarting the editor?

I'm not an expert on this, but I think you need to use an animation index. For more information read this, this, this and this.

Thank you, I got it to play!
