How can I STOP unit freezing after that unit plays an animation?

[Yoysu]

I'm creating a cinematic whereby a unit (in this case Thrall) is casting a spell, hence I've got him all wired in to play the animation.

• Animation - Play CineThrall's Spell Animation

Problem is after playing it, he doesn't return to breathing and his looping stand animations, he just freezes. In the interest of everything looking as natural as possible, I'd really like to get him, y'know, doing his whole standing around and breathing thing.

I've come across this problem before and just got frustrated by not being able to find an answer. So could somebody please enlighten me on how to correct this issue?

I apologise if this question has already been asked as I'm sure it's a very basic fix that I've overlooked, but I'm unable to find a fix by searching myself. If I have missed it I'd be unbelievably grateful if someone could link me please.

Many thanks in advance!

You should queue the "Stand" animation, so that it'll play the "stand" animation when it finishes the spell animation. It should be under "Animation - Queue Animation" (if the GUI function exists).

I don't remember what the GUI function for it looks like (or whether it exists in the first place). In JASS, it would look something like this:
call QueueUnitAnimation(udg_CineThrall, "stand")
You would just add it after the "Animation - Play CineThrall's Spell Animation" line.

Thanks, that's awesome, I've just put it in as Custom Script and it works perfectly. Thank you very much

In GUI you can use Reset Unit Animation.

There is queue animation action for GUI.

In GUI you can use Reset Unit Animation.

Better ask the unit to "stop".
Or just use the myth : call IssueImmediateOrderById(udg_unit, 851973) to prevent any order to come and so stop the unit.
