how to make this units attacks with the other attack animation?

You can use the other animations in several ways:
  • Add animation tag to the unit
    • For example if you add "Third" animation tag to the unit, it will use the wide slashes as default attacks.
    • Note that this will make the unit stop using its actual default attack animation.
  • Play animation with triggers
    • Just use a trigger to play the "Attack Second" or "Attack Third" animations when needed.
  • Use abilities with the animations
    • Many abilties play the spell animation upon casting.
    • This can often be changed to an attack animation in the object editor at "Art - Animation Names" data field for the ability. Just set that field to "Attack Second" or "Attack Third".
  • Or simply rename the animations
    • Open the model in magos model editor and remove the "Second" and "Third" from the attack animation names.
    • Can be done from the "sequence manager" window.
    • This will cause the unit to use a random attack animations for every attack, but you'll lose the capability to control the attack animation type with the other methods mentioned above.

You may need to save the map and restart world editor before it will display the new model.

and where can i add the animation tag? (first option)
  • Select the unit in object editor and add the tag in "Art - Required Animation Names"
OR​
  • Use the trigger action "Animation - Add/Remove Unit Animation Tag"

Thank you so much for making this epic model! I absolutely love the animations and found them super useful for cinematics in my recent Rpg... Also love the female version too! :)
I just wish the portrait was a little closer.
