HotS King Varian Wrynn + alts

This bundle is marked as pending. It has not been reviewed by a staff member yet.
Heroes of the Storm King Varian Wrynn by Blizzard Entertainment.

This pack includes:
- King Varian Wrynn
- Footman Varian
- Grand Marshal Varian

Varian comes with three stances: Protection, Arms, and Fury. By default he will use the Protection stance; in order to use the Arms stance go to Art- Required Animations and add the tags "Upgrade, One" and for Fury add "Upgrade, Two". The stances are not meant to move across each other so generally you're going to have to pick one and roll with it (the tags can also be added at run time by adding Animation Tags to the unit, or removed by removing Animation Tags in the same way).

I am deliberately avoiding using 'Alternate' for one of the stances because some abilities like Avatar and Locust Swarm always refer to it. If this is your desired behavior you can edit the model to change the tags of the stance you require.

Technically he has a 'fourth' stance which is really 'no stance', but it is not included because it would bloat the file size even further. If you must know it's two-handed sword in the Protection stance.

Fun trivia: Varian's Arms stance attack animations are identical to War3 Paladin Arthas' attack animations.

UD 7/6/2021: Fixed Stand Channel in Upgrade stances by adding them. Added Spin animation. Changed Spell Throw for dual wielding to something more appropriate.

Does it do it in game too, or just in the editor?
 
I've made a Reforged HD version of this model using your SD version. Would you have any objections to me uploading this (and potentially some others)? I will of course give you full credit for the original model, it would be more of a texture pack and upgrade for some features. Here's a gif for you to see (if you're on the RMS discord I left instructions on how to do the texture editing in the texture showcase).

A question, how do I do it with the other two Varian models, that is, Grand Marshal Varian and Lackey Varian, so that they appear? Do I have to use an alternate route by chance? :peasant-thinking:
Their file names are different so they won't collide with eachother, you can use all 3 variants in the same map easily.
Just make sure you set the correct path for their textures:

units\HotS\Varian\VarianGrandMarshal.blp
units\HotS\Varian\VarianFootman.blp

Bro, they don't appear to me. I put units\HotS\VarianFootman\VarianFootman.blp like this for the Lacayo Varian model and nothing and I also put what you put and nothing, they don't appear to me.

Please read again, more carefully, the texture paths that I wrote to you.. units\HotS\VarianFootman\VarianFootman.blp
You added another Footman in front..

Bro, the Varian Lackey model doesn't work for me. I put the route that you wrote me correctly and nothing. The Grand Marshal Varian model did work for me with the route that you wrote me, but the Varian Lackey model doesn't want to appear. Sorry to bother you so much.

Can you try this variant then? the texture path is (with nothing else ahead of it):
VarianFootman.blp
