Playing a units animation via triggers

[Steven_00]

just started using warcraft editor.

how do i play a unit's stand victory animation once using triggers?

 

[mckill2009]

its in Animation category...
Animation - Playunit animation, enter the text "stand victory", depends on what text is the stand victory...

 

[Bannar]

• Animation - Play Triggering unit your_animation

Fill Triggering unit with your given unit.
In your_animation you have to type strings that refer to animations
For stand victory you have to type 2 strings:
Enter stand, victory. As you can see for entering more than one string, you need to type coma between them.

doesn't work for this one.

• Grunt
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Grunt
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Grunt for Player 1 (Red) at (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)) facing 90.00 degrees
    • Animation - Play (Last created unit)'s stand, victory animation

 

[mckill2009]

a coma works only for object editor, not on triggers so remove the coma...

Animation - Play (Last created unit)'s stand victory animation

 

[Steven_00]

still doesn't work.

 

[mckill2009]

then you have done wrong coz it works fine to me...

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Grunt for Player 1 (Red) at (Player 1 (Red) start location) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Animation - Play (Last created unit)'s stand victory animation

EDIT: @Maker I've tested with coma..it doesnt work...

• Animation - Play (Last created unit)'s stand,victory animation

EDIT 2: ok my bad, suppose to be have space "stand, victory"

 

[Maker]

It should work...does the unit have stand victory animation?

a coma works only for object editor, not on triggers so remove the coma...

Commas do work with triggers

 

[Bannar]

I'm working with comma in animation triggers usually and they do work properly, don't know why you were thinking they don't mckill2009.
Just tested in editor while ago:

• Animation - Play Grunt's stand, victory animation

Works properly, and via Warcraft3 model editor I'm sure that Grunt has Stand Victory animation.
However, comma is not required for animation to be played.

You have to have check conditions once again.

i use grunt for this trigger.

is there a difference in using effect and casting - an ability?

 

[mckill2009]

I'm working with comma in animation triggers usually and they do work properly, don't know why you were thinking they don't mckill2009.

I already said my bad, coz I did not put spaces "stand, victory", but without coma works as well...

 

[Bannar]

Ye, added that to my last post. I'm used to comma because of Object Editor which shows advanced animations with it.

EDIT Steven_00 post your map please.

 

[Steven_00]

test map

Man, summoned grunt is playing that animation you want him to play.
If you meant to order peasent to play animation refer to peasent (or Target of ability being cast) instead of Last created unit.

 

[Steven_00]

waaaa.. its not showing up in my computer. is it because of WE?

EDIT :

fixed. its in warcraft video option. mine was set to low, thats why the animation won't show up.
