[General] How to make buildings to work?

[Fatalbiscuit]

I want to put some buildings in work stance becouse I want to animate a little the area.

How can I do it?

maybe Animation - Play unit animation( work ) or whatever the work animation is called. You can see the animations name if you make the unit in world editor and click on it then a picture of it will show up in bottom left corner of the world editor window and you can select different animations there and see what they look like and what they're called

I looked at the ancient of Wind, it's work animation is called "work alternate animation". I found this by placing it on the map in the world editor and then selecting it to see the details on the left.

To make the unit play this animation in your map you can try using the following trigger action.

• Animation - Play Ancient of Wind's stand work alternate animation

To make the unit play this animation in your map you can try using the following trigger action.

• Animation - Play Ancient of Wind's stand work alternate animation

this will play only the animation once.
the recomended action would be:
Animation - Queue unit animation

• Animation - Queue Barracks 0000 <gen>'s Stand Work animation

But this will queue only a single unit anim.
you better use Unit Group action to pick all the unit in certain region and then queue the picked units animation...

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in Buildings Region <gen> matching ((Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Barracks)) and do (Animation - Queue (Picked unit)'s Stand Work animation)

Warning: this action leaks

So, to prevent leaks... Your final trigger would be:

• Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in Buildings Region <gen> matching ((Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Barracks)) and do (Animation - Queue (Picked unit)'s Stand Work animation)
