Model - Animation problem

[Ceday]

I put 3 seconds casting time to summon water elemental skill(or another skill nvm) with this trigger.

• cast
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Animation - Play (Triggering unit)'s channel animation

When my hero has archmage model it plays animation correctly, but when I change model to bloodmage the trigger doesn't work unless I put a wait action.

• cast
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 0.00 seconds
    • Animation - Play (Triggering unit)'s channel animation

How to prevent this?

Do this in the object insted. But I agree it is odd

Animation you write from object editor doesn't play during casting time.Problem is bloodmage again.

Try
spell channel
for the blood mage and
stand channel
for the arch mage

Archmage is fine, he is playing animations even I don't put any animation names from object editor.But I need bloodmage to play animation during casting time, spell channel didn't work.

I tought about this method too, but all units in map use this casting system so I didn't want to use many timers and look for an alternate simple solution, thanks anyway.

Actually I just realized while writing this post, not all units going to be bloodmage.I hope there is no other models with similar problems.

The system can be MUI with just one timer and one unit group. You could store the animation index for each spell into a hashtable and then load the correct anim when the timer expires.

Thanks for the unit group idea(It will help me about a few other things with this kind of timers).Problem solved.But I still wonder what is wrong with this model.
