Give something a death animation?

I created a building and used a doodad as its model, but when it dies it just stays there for about 10 seconds then dissapears, how do I give it a death animation?

hold shit + enter (on art model file) and you will get the code for special effect you want

EVENT-unit dies
CONDITION-dying unit equal to (your unit)
ACTION-
set POINT = position of dying unit
create (any special effect you want) at POINT
destroy (last created special effect)
call RemoveLocation(udg_POINT)

I did this, but when the unit dies it just stays there for a few seconds, how do I get rid of this?

does it play its death animation after doing that?
if not try adding this trigger on its death.

• Events
• Unit - A unit Dies
• Conditions
• (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) equal to YOURDESIREDUNIT
• Actions
• Animation - Play Unit's death animation

i think the one that irritates you is the corpse of that dying unit.
maybe this trigger could help

• Wait 2.00 seconds
• Unit - Remove (Decaying unit) from the game

swipe5weep, use a local variable to make it multinstanceable

if the model doesn't have a death animation it can't play it so it stay on in the game for a while.. there is nothing you can do if you don't want to edit the model and give it some animations.

Guys, when it comes to special effects as dummy units, the only way to kill them even by sight, is "Unit - Kill unit" or "Unit - Add expiration timer" and then instantly add the action "Unit - Remove unit from the game".

Just create special effect when your unit dies -.-
