[Solved] Setting Unit Animation

[Mr_Bean]

Hello,

How can I set a unit's animation to "walk" without pausing it?
I am setting the unit's co-ordinates periodically, and I want it to look as though they are walking.

Using SetUnitAnimationByIndex does not work.

Thanks,

Mr_Bean

When you create the unit, use SetUnitAnimationByIndex. It will be playing than animation until it gets another order.

Then use SetUnitX and SetUnitY to move the unit.

 

[Mr_Bean]

The unit isn't being created; it's for a hero ability.

use SetUnitX/Y to make a unit/hero play animation while moving.Also,this ignores pathing but can be a bit ugly when units/heroes are ordered.

Also,you are not getting it.
Do you use SetUnitPosition?

 

[Mr_Bean]

What are you talking about?
I know how to move the unit...just not how to make it play its "walk" animation.
I use SetUnitX and SetUnitY.

Interesting, thanks.
How would this translate to vJASS?
A timer with a 0.0 second duration?

 

[Maker]

Yeah, that should be it.

Thanks so much, works perfectly
