Remove blood when playing animation

[Lej]

I want to simulate falling asleep by playing the human priest's death animation:

• Actions
  • Animation - Play Priest 0001 <gen>'s death animation

The problem is that it plays a blood spurt and then makes a pool of blood. When watching the animation in the editors model window it doesn't have any blood. Is it possible to play the death animation without blood without editing the model?

You have to edit the .mdx and remove the Event Objects hat spawn blood.

Blood and spawn effects are internal event data within the model, I dont know if there is a way to turn it off... So i really doubt you can.. Rdz may know.

Any recommended program? Can't seem to find a way to do it in War3ModelEditor.

You could make a trigger where if the event happens, some invisible unit that's hidden on the map would put the sleep spell on the unit that you want to go to sleep....if you want I'll post the trigger.

Just casting sleep on a unit it doesn't make it lie down on the ground.
Also using sleep in this case could result in problems so I'm pausing the unit and adding the zzz as a special effect instead.

That is how you do it..
Node Manager, go to the camera things, prolly near the bottom.
Find all of them that start with either SPL or SPN. Click on them, and if they have anything to do with blood, delete them.
If you also want to remove the Sound he makes upon death, remove the Event Object that starts with SND that has something to do with death.
Keep in mind this makes it so they NEVER bleed, unless you add a new death animation to them and add the blood for that track.

Thanks. Removing the sound node saves me from importing an empty sound to overwrite the death sound which I was doing until now. Not bleeding at all is not a problem in this case.
