Mountain king avatar model. Where?

[Rektis]

I want to use the mountain kings' avatar model as a model for a custom unit, but i don't know where the model file is.

It isn't an alternate file of the mountain king / muradin broncebeard.
There's no other model file which includes the avatar model.

Does anyone know where I can find it?

you use triggers

ok, if your unit is already placed on map then its easy

make a trigger on initialization, and the action Add animation tag and add the tag "alternate" no "" and add it to your mountain king.

Found it! There's a way without triggers! Make your unit's model a normal Mountain King, look for Art - Required Animation Names and put in "alternate". In WE, you will see that your unit is a normal Mountain King, but ingame, it will be an "Avatared" Mountain King.

ha well that works too.

It works, and its simpler than with triggers.

Ah, true. I already mentioned that it isn't the alternative model of the mountain king, but that was wrong - it is. I added the "alternate" tag in the editor before, but I didn't test it, sry.
Hm, but I'm wondering why it doesn't show the mountain kings alternative model in the editor, normally it works, too (e.g. the troll spearmens alternative model, the berserker, is shown both ingame and in the editor).

Ingame it shows the morphed mountain king, the editor just shows the normal model.

Well done, thanks.

This thread can be closed now.

Oh, +rep.

Because the Berserker model is completely different, whereas the Avatar model is about the same, just different size and color!
