[Trigger] Play a specific unit animation?

[Renschi]

Hey Guys,

this is a problem I've tried to solve for long, but I've never managed to solve it.
So:

I want to play a specific stand animation of a Militia (Stand -4). The "Play Animation" Trigger doesn't work, I mean, it just does nothing. Is there a way to play unit animations like Stand -4 and so on?

Greetings, Renschi

Try using the JASS function SetUnitAnimationByIndex and go from 0 up until you find the correct index of the Militia's stand-4 animation.

Do you need help on how to implement this JASS?

Well, if there is no way to do it with GUI, yes. I've never worked with Jass before.

you can do it in GUI using the GUI action "Custom script", under the general tab...

though you would need to do trial and error on this...

• Actions
  • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex( unit YourMilitia, integer animationindex)

just change unit YourMilitia to the variable pertaining to the militia, and play with the value of integer animationindex

Thank you, Adiktuz =)
