[Spell] Spinning Wards

[Hive_Parasite]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a ward, using Blackrock Blademaster skin from WC3 editor. It has Permanent Immolation on it.

How can I make this Blademaster constantly spin in GUI?

Do I just add "spin" to Animation Name segment?

Yeah, use Animation - Play _your_unit_ 's spin animation

Just make sure player cannot give your unit any order canceling animation.

Well, the base unit is a Sentry Ward.

Ward command cards are disabled so you should be fine.

Thing is, I suck at triggers and everything I tried so far did not work.

So far, I've been having a go at it in GUI because I failed in the past on multiple occasions to make sense of (v)Jass.

You can make your unit spin constantly by adding a "spin" tag in Art - Required Animation Names in the object editor.

If you want to make it start or stop spinning on command, use the action Animation - Add/Remove Unit Animation Tag in the trigger editor to add or remove a "spin" tag.

Do I need to use a specific ability as the base for this?

No, you just add it as an animation tag directly to the unit in the object editor as so:

That was exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks for that.
