Play unit animation while unit is walking?

[Sverkerman]

Hey everyone!

I've encountered a problem that I am hoping you can help me to solve.

I want to queue a unit's stand animation WHILE it is walking. As far as I know there are two ways of doing this:

You can: change the unit into another unit that has it's walking animation replaced with it's standing animation - Problem: The filesize will be too big, it is not worth the sacrifice in my specific case.

You can: Trigger the unit (somehow) to remove it's walking animation/force it to play it's standing animation.

I am currently running a "every 0.03 seconds" trigger, in which I've tried to put a "play unit's Stand animation." action - The results are not that great, I am looking for something better, my unit gets parkinsons from this solution.

There should be some kind of JASS code FORCING the unit to que a animation, or removing it's walking animation entirely temporarily.

+rep to any participants of this solution, thank you!

Here's a suggestion: just copy the unit's stand animation and name it something like Walk Alternate (or Walk Gold or whatever) and then just add the alternate tags to the unit via trigger when you want it to slide/stand-walk.
