How to make a unit lie down...

[bjartmar]

Well, the title itself says what i want, but i need to know to to make the units lie down... but NOT dead, no no, i mean alive...

Tnx for the help i get... IF i get some...

 

[Mechanical Man]

Only with creating new animations

 

[bjartmar]

kk... i am not so good at animations

 

[PurgeandFire]

Just set his pitch angles to something like -1.57 and he/she should be sideways looking as if he/she is lying down!

Well, I remember a loap where you could like make them lay down...But it kills them making blood...But they were alive...If that helps.

Set the unit's animation to "death"

 

[bjartmar]

ehm, i am not so good at those codes... actually i am a newb at triggers, models and so on...

 

[RedBlade]

Its easy. This is the trigger :

- Event : (e.g) Player chat message lie
- Conditions
- Actions : Play animation for (the unit u want) 'death'

It will be alive. It will play the death animation like if it died, but it wouldnt. The only problem is that ... i dont know if death is the right code. U try.

Well, best way to do it is as RedBlade suggested:

• Events
  • Map Initialisation
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Animation - Play (any unit you like)'s death animation

Also, it is known that most (if not all) Ogres have an extra "sleep" animation.
Use it like this:

• Events
  • Map Initialisation
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Animation - Play (any Ogre unit)'s sleep animation

It only works with ogres though. Hope this helps! Have fun!

bjartmar, you mean LIKE IT'S DEAD (ex. sleeping) or being prone and looking around?

 

[PurplePoot]

More units than ogres have sleep animations.

Alot of custom models do, and golems do. I'm not sure if anyone else does.

 

[bjartmar]

well, i mean alive, but is making a trap like it as dead...

P.S. hope you understand what i mean...

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Well if you want it to look like it is dead, Ste@lth gave you the trigger you needed. That will make the unit "die" and it will lay there until you tell it to do something else.

Put art - maximum pitch angle to -90?

 

[Marcelo Hossomi]

To use pitch angle you'd have to modify the terrain, I guess.
The best way is INDEED setting the animation to 'death', as people have already said, or the 'sleep' animation.
