Play unit animation problem

[Microdragon6]

I've only been working with the editor for a few days, so this might be an easily fixed problem but... I'm making a trigger that when a skill is cast on a target, the casting unit goes into unit animation. So I did

Animation - Play (Triggering unit)'s spell 2 animation.

When it works it looks great, but it really only works some of the time. The reason is that the triggering unit that has the skill has 3 spell animations, and so it only does the one i want 1/3 of the time.

So my question is, is there a way to make it so it only plays that certain animation? Or possibly just deactivate all the others. because I don't really need them.

Try playing the unit's spell - 2 animation for 3 times

 

[Microdragon6]

well that doesn't help with the problem of getting rid of the other animations, i just want it to show the one spell for the animation. Best case scenario for that is it plays the animation 3x.

 

[Ribenamania]

Change the animation name of the spell to the animation name you want ?

 

[Microdragon6]

is there a way of doing that other than making it a variable? I tried making it into a variable and it worked sometimes, but not 100% of the time.

swt =.= you don't understand .. it's easy, don't even need a trigger

Just go to your spell , got to animation place and add spell, looping and then add the name of the animation you want.

Woop I didn't read you right lol. I'm trying it now.

 

[Microdragon6]

Yeah thats not working for me... Can't give a spell the animation of a unit i don't think, unless you know otherwise

Ok so I can put a unit animation for the skill and that'll make it work? I'm editing this because I said "thats too hard to see" but I put it into paint and zoomed in and I could so nvm...

Thats basically what i've been messing around with. The que animation is something I just put in there as one of my attempts to make it work. I've tried it without it also.

Or use this script to play the unit animation.

call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(unit,index)
