Structure use shared birth animation?

[Rhamos Vhailejh]

Hey. Just wondering if there's a way to assign a building-type to use a shared birth animation? There doesn't seem to be a field for it in the Unit Editor. Maybe there's some kind of ability or string or something? I just want to get a building that uses a model with no birth animation to use the standard undead birth animation, but to not use any triggers for it. If I have to code for it, then I can, but I'd rather not if I don't have to. Thanks.

There is definitely some way, because undead buildings use this.

A buildings birth animation is an inherent animation of the model, If you what to change it you have to reanimate the building.

The instructions here might help you. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/northrend-undead-building-birth-52788/

Check the undead and the night elves.

Only Undead buildings and Night Elf buildings share similar birth animations.

Undead has one for all their buildings, and Night Elf has two. One for non-ancients and one for ancients.

(I think)

That can be done with Model Editor (by Magos), by adding/copying a Birth animation, adding an attachment with this path SharedModels\UBirth.MDL, and then changing the visibility of the attachment to be only visible during the Birth animation.

Night Elf has two. One for non-ancients and one for ancients.

Both Ancient and non-Ancient Night Elf buildings use the same birth model. (SharedModels\NEBirth.MDL)
So, adding a Night Elf and Undead birth is simple, but adding Human and Orc birth animations require more complex model editing.
