[Solved] How can i make unit pause at exact moment.

[JFAMAP]

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Storm Bolt
• Actions
  • Animation - Play (Casting unit)'s attack animation
  • Wait 0.05 seconds
  • Unit - Pause Blademaster 0033 <gen>

I want to make it pause during attack animation. It does not matter how many seconds put in wait it always resets attack and pauses.
Blademaster swings his blade and i want to make him pause this exact moment. How can i do that?

"Pause unit" does not stop animations.
You need to change the animation speed to 0.

• Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s animation speed to 0.00% of its original speed

Yes it worked. Thank you so much. By the way i have realized it plays attack 2 animation too. I just want to make it only attack animation. How to do that?

There is a function. Idk if it's in gui triggers or only code. I can't see it on 1.32 in gui trigers.

SetUnitAnimationByIndex(whichUnit, whichAnimation)

This function plays a specific animation but it takes a number rather than a name, and you have to guess which number corresponds to which animation.

I am not familiar with this system. Currently i cannot save the map like this. I have tried many combinations still i cannot save.
When i pressed ESC

Custom script: SetUnitAnimationByIndex(kenshin, attack)

kenshin = Unit

Custom script: SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_kenshin, 0)
Custom script: SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_kenshin, 1)
... and so on
Try that

 

[JFAMAP]

Custom script: SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_kenshin, 0)
Custom script: SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_kenshin, 1)
... and so on
Try that

Still syntax error. Tried it until 7 or 8

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Custom script: SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_kenshin, 0)

Add "call " before the function if your map is in jass and not lua.

• Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_kenshin, 0)

Sorry. I was copying the code. I wasn't knew it was wrong.
Now everything works fine. Thank you both of you and have a nice day.

Note that the Pause action is generally avoided since it:
1) Pauses expiration timers, buffs, and basically anything that would happen periodically.
2) Messes up animations like if the unit dies while paused (this may be the only case).
3) Most custom spells/triggers will not play nice with this action. For example, a custom spell that uses a Timer/Wait to track the duration will NOT get paused.

It's still a useful action if you know what you're doing.

But it looks like you simply want to stun the Blademaster which could be a safe alternative to pausing. On patch 1.31+ we have a function called BlzPauseUnitEx() which acts like a triggered stun that doesn't come from an ability and is applied instantly. I often use this when I need to disable a unit and play specific animations, for example with a dash or leap spell. Since you're on an older patch you'll need to rely on something like a Dummy unit casting Storm Bolt.

@Uncle Or at least i can make caster invulnerable for a moment. Thank you for your warnings.
