How Do you Make A Unit Remain in Animation

[RoleplayingKing]

(Excuse my noobiness)

For my Heroes RPG, (i will be posting that soon), I'm going to have dead body props, but how do you make a unit play the death animation, and stay there forever? I would enjoy the help dearly, thank you all.

1) make a unit not decay and not raise... if it dies it will stay there (dunno how long)
2) make a unit play death animation and never ever reset it and dont move (make it not to flee, locust and invulnerable owned by neutral passive and pause it)

guess that may do it

EDIT: either of those
EDIT2: you can also change its animation speed to 0 (after the unit has actually died)

Play the unit's death animation, the unit must have locust ability, no attack and belongs to neutral passive.

Hope it helps

Thanks guys, i haven't tried yet, but i'll get around to it tonight.

EDIT:
Whats the locust ability? Locust swarm?

Do NOT double-post. Use the Edit button.

when creating the unit go to normal abilities> go to units and select locust ... that will make the unit untargetable invulnerable and with no collition (even thought make it invulnerable )

Ok, um, been a while, but how do you make it play an animation? Trigger? Something?

EDIT:

Nevermind, got it to work.

Thank you all for your help, I couldn't have done it otherwise.

Locust makes the unit 'Un-click-able'- And just 'pause' then unit, when it dies. (Plays the anim)

Wow, doesnt this all seem a bit much. Why not just use the create body trigger?
