Stopping animation?

[shruikahn]

Hey lol i've ran into another dead-end in my map
I have some sentry guns that, when there is no power,
they don't attack and they don't play their stand animation either
I tried to just use:

• Events
  • Map initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Animation - Play Sentry Gun (Long) 0001 <gen>'s stand animation
  • Animation - Play Sentry Gun (Short) 0005 <gen>'s stand animation
  • Animation - Play Sentry Gun (Short) 0004 <gen>'s stand animation
  • Animation - Play Sentry Gun (Short) 0006 <gen>'s stand animation
  • Animation - Play Sentry Gun (Short) 0007 <gen>'s stand animation

So i thought that this trigger would make their stand animation play once,
and then after that no animation would play unless they attack/animation
is reset.
However they seem to just act normally

Animation - set unit animation speed to 0%

i think you cannot really stop animation if your unit moves or attacks

do you want to to freeze him?or make him always play stand animation

if yes you will need

unit is attacked/begins casting an ability
attacking/casting unit equal to (your unit)
-play attacking/casting unit stand animation

else you can play stand animation every 0.10 seconds

Why don`t you use

• Unit - Pause "your unit"

And when power is back

• Unit - Unpause "your unit"

Yeh the unit won't attack cos its neutral passive
ill try setting anim speed to 0
