[script] needed some triggers

[griwes]

i need some triggers, best JASS functions.
1. how to change attack animation (not missile)? (from i.e. Attack 1, 2, 3 to AttackRange 1, 2, 3)
2. how to change attack type?
3. and, finally, how to change missile model?

1. You need a model with a set of animations with the 'alternate' tag. And then to switch to the alternate set of animations just use:

function foo takes unit u returns nothing
    call AddUnitAnimationProperties(u, "alternate", true)
endfunction

2. You can't directly do this in-game with functions. You could make a different unit type with the alternate attack type and when u need to switch replace the unit with the other unit type.

3. Like with 2, this can't be done with functions in-game. A workaround is the same as the one for number 2.

3. can be done via adding an orb based spell to the unit with no affect and just different art.
If you want to change it, simply remove that orb ability and add another.

@up: great idea.

@aznricepuff: how to add animation tag in model file? in model editor, but which function?

Lol, sorry, but I really don't know crap about making models; I'm a programmer, not a 3d design artist. Hopefully some1 else can answer that for you.
