Play animation for 0.01 second?

[Lord_of_sausage]

Hi all.
Im working on a map, where you control a unit with arrowkeys. The movement works fine, but i would like my guy to play his walk animation when hes moving. I got the triggers, but for some reason, "Animation - Play (unit)s (walk) animation" doesn't work. Or, it doesm but the animation stops like 0.01 second after its started! Any clues? Im using an "Move unit" trigger every 0.03 for moving the unit.

Maybe because your unit is walking in near distances... Give triggers so we can see plz

do Custom Script - call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_MyUnit, <walk animation index>). The walk animation index varies per model, but I'm sure you can find out the index for the walk animation of your model either by opening the model file and looking at the animations, or just by asking in the modeling section of The Hive.

I hope it works, but i have problem. How do i set (Interger A) into the unit? My Unit is Uni_Rifleman[Interger A]. Somehow (Interger a) dont work :/

Btw, i also need a script that stops its walk animation. Else i will just find the index the "Stand"

Tried:

call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Uni_Rifleman[Interger A],1)
call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Uni_Rifleman[Interger A], 1)
call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Uni_Rifleman[IntergerA],1)
call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Uni_Rifleman[IntergerA], 1)

bj_loopIndexIntegerA, I believe, but I'm not positive. And to stop it you can just do Unit - Reset Unit Animation (or whatever it is, the normal one that stops animations)

EDIT:
It's not bj_loopIndexIntegerA, it's bj_forLoopAIndex

It wasn't : ( Rep for trying, though

Anybody else knows?

See my edit

Thanks alot!!!

It works perfectly now, and so beautifull!

Cant rep you for it, though

 

[Element of Water]

no problem, you already repped me

 

[M_reaper]

I'm trying to do this as well, could you tell me what the method to get the "walk" index is?

I'm using a Demon Hunter btw.

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

just keep trying with different numbers.

And please don't necropost

 

[M_reaper]

If by "necropost" you mean "revive thread" then, well this thread hasn't been dead for THAT long. Sure, a couple of months, but that's nothing.

Anyway, yeah, I tried different numbers, and they work, but now I have another problem.
You see, I'm making this pretty cool shadow following effect a lá Protoss High Templar, but with a Demon Hunter, and while I got his following to work thanks to this thread, I'm also trying to make a jump spell for him. I succeeded by replacing him with yet another dummy unit and hiding him, but the following units just won't adjust their height!

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Are they remmember to give a unit "Crow Form" unit abillity, before you edit their flying hieght.

 

[M_reaper]

I tried that, but it didn't work. However, I got it pretty much working now. The trick was to put the height adjustment action before the movement action for some reason.

Anyway the following units already had flying as movement type, so crow form wasn't needed.
