Play Animation While Moving?

[Skulesta]

Hello, I want to ask how to play a unit's animation while they're moving.

Basically I want to use the Blademaster model and use the spin animation which works when I trigger 'Unit - Play Animation' but when I move the animation stops. I want to animation to keep playing while the unit is moving so that he is spin moving.

I tried to do 'Time - Every 0.03 Seconds' play the animation however it just makes the animation stutter instead of playing the animation fully it just plays the first 0.03 seconds and then repeats back to the start which I don't want.

Any help?

I think there's this jass command called playAnimationByIndex(unit, index), where unit is the unit in question and index is the index of the animation you want to play.

Thank you, I got it figured now

Just for others who may not have gotten all that, its:

• Custom script: call playAnimationByIndex ( udg_YourUnit, udg_YourInteger )

Of course you may just use a number rather than an integer variable. Most animation index numbers are 1-7. Just try them out until you get the right one.

Furthermore, as far as I know, the order of the Model's animation determine the index. Example a model with Stand Animation Sequence from 1000 to 2000, Walk Animation 2500 to 3500, Attack: 3600 to 4000, Death: 4300 to 5000, Then index 1 will play Stand, index at 2 = Walk, etc.

The program WCIII Viewer displays unit's animation in correct order, so you can check the model there for correct indices.
