I cant sleep again

[Gromash_19]

Like the tittle says, i cant sleep again, cuz i have a question. How can i put a death animation (like the naga explosion of water)? If it helps, i got magos model editor.

Just do this:

• Building Death Animation
  • Events
    • Unit - Building 0001 <gen> Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Point = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at Temp_Point using Objects\Spawnmodels\Naga\NagaDeath\NagaDeath.mdl
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point)

I'm using this on my project, so I think it could work for you. Good luck!

Thanks... respond this if you want cuz this are just dettails.

1- where says Building... it refers a building or a unit?

2- In what event/action i put the unit i want to give the special effect?

Good luck with your proyect

1- They are the same, so it doesn't matter.
2- You don't give the special effect to a unit, you create it at a position (Temp_Point), which u set to where the unit died before you create the position.

That means you have to add which unit type should have the special effect in the conditions if you use A unit dies. (Thats better then a specific unit if you want to apply it to more then one unit in the game.)

Obviously "Building 0001" refers to the building you want to put the death animation. If the units that you want to put the death animation are all of the same type, you could do this:

• Building Death Animation
  • Events
    • Unite - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equals to Yourbuilding
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Point = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at Temp_Point using Objects\Spawnmodels\Naga\NagaDeath\NagaDeath.mdl
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point)

This way all units of the same type will have the same death animation. And "Triggering unit" refers to the unit that triggered the event, in this case the dying unit.

Remove the wait function,the effect will be same so it's useless.

 

[Akiros47]

The special effect must be destroyed because if not it leaks. And I added the wait function to give the animation time to birth, disappear and then to be destroyed. If not, the animation wouldn't even have time to birth.

 

[Garfield1337]

Try removing the wait function and you'll see it's the same. Destroying the effect makes it play it's death animation

 

[Dr Super Good]

Make the units explode on death and customize their explosion animation. This is far less leaky than special effects (if it works).

Trying to act smart ?
Haha, try to create SFX and destroy it, NO WAIT BORDER IS USED
You'll see what Garfield meant

I've just said what I read in a tutorial about special effects and leaks. But whatever, he was right. No wait function is needed, so...thanks anyway ^^

 

[defskull]

But, there is a certain SFX needs birth animation before they can even properly shows up and get cleared
Well, they said that:
Experience is the best teacher in our lives
Agree ?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Destroying a special effect plays its death animation.

Thus the no wait special effect destruction is only usable on effects with no death animation.

Explosisons, most aura buffs and some instant effects are examples of where you can instantly destroy them.
Purge, bloodlust, and missles are examples of where you cannot use instant effect destruction unless you want their death animations.

 

[baassee]

Make the units explode on death and customize their explosion animation. This is far less leaky than special effects (if it works).

Or you just make the model of the unit to the desired special effect. I think that it will play its birth animation, if not, order it to play it.

 

[mckill2009]

you cant even destroy the SFX after the wait so it will leak (exept when you asign a variable in it)...

In all, you must sleeep XD...
