Play attack 1 then attack 2 then attack 3

[Greedy Procrastinator]

Can a unit play animation in order rather than random?

And does this apply only to custom spells.

If it works without custom spell, I would ask that attacks do diifferent damage like

1x > 1x > 1.2x

There is the function PlayUnitAnimationByIndex which you can use to play any specific animation a model has if you know what its index value is. This cannot be applied to animations triggered by abilities, as those do not allow you to choose an index just a name/tag. I believe GUI does not have access to this function directly.

Yup that's not a thing in GUI. I'd use defined animation tags (attack gold, attack lumber, attack flesh etc.), keep track of the attack number and add/remove tags dynamically

Sorry, I didnt put an example.
Take for an example Kael'thas's auto-attack for he has three of them.
I'd want him to do attack in order 1>2>3 then return to start again?

If you mean regular attacks, then I don't think that's possible.

For triggered abilities, that's possible though I don't know any resource in the Spells & Systems section that do this but I know it exists atleast. I seen a couple of cool abilities in Anime AoS/etc maps for example.

I think only by editing the model to rename them away from being attacks and then using some code to recreate autoattacks/projectiles while manually playing them. You could toggle between normal attacks and attack,slam (I think?) by using a 100% 1x critical strike ability.

Had this test map with a similar problem so I made a few improvements. It uses the animations from model as mentioned. The idea is to add/remove sub animation at a certain time. I also implemented barrage to damage self which detects when the attack has executed. The part I am unsure of is the Damage trigger itself. The report said the damage was Splash damage and that Attack damage was detected but there is no IsDamageSplash and IsDamageAttack returns false. The damage report reports splash damage when code, attack and spell returns false.
