[General] Priest Sit Animation.

[BeeszBuzz]

You know how Priest units idle sit down, crossing their legs?
I'd like to know the name of that animation. Thanks!

Well in world editor there is something called model preview on the left everytime you select a unit, you can play the animations and see the names.

It says Stand - 4, now what would I type into (NOTE Stand - 4 does not work)

• Animation - Play Old man 0013 <gen>'s Stand - 4 animation

if that doesn't work you could export the priest model, change the animation name in the model editor and import it again. Maybe it's the name including the "-" that makes it not work.

I don't think you can specify the number of an animation with a trigger. You can only order the model to play one of any Stand animations, you cannot directly order him to play Stand - 4 animation.

If what I am saying is true (which I'm not sure off ) you would have to export the model and delete Stand 1, 2, and 3 animations so that only Stand 4 remains.

iirc You just have to use the internal name, which I think would be either Stand 4 or stand04 (No capitals or spaces) instead of "Stand - 4"

Using animation names with that action IS case-sensitive, so if you want to be triple-sure on what the animation name is, extract the model and open it.

Huh, I didn't knew that. It's a great tip, I'll keep it in mind, thanks

Why is everyone suggesting to edit the model? Reimporting a model just to be able to play an animation sounds crazy in terms of Filesize optimization.

BeeszBuzz, do this;

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set u = Old man 0013 <gen>
  • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_u, udg_i)
  • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(i))
  • Set i = (i + 1)

Then go ingame and press Esc until you get the animation you want. Note the last number that appeared. Say that was animation number 5. Then, when you want the Old Man to use that anim, use this Custom Script:

call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_u,5)


(just be sure you're setting the Global Variable u to the Priest Unit.)

^^^^^^^

that's the answer

 

[Deccazz]

follow up question to the priest sit animation, is there a way to make him stay down like that, maybe like freeze the animation or something?

 

[Acutesharpness]

If you use a periodic event and a real data storage you can time it right when he sits down and set the animation speed to 0% or 0.1% which ever is better ;p
