[Solved] Triggering animation for spell

[WarCortez]

I'm trying to create a spell animation for a bandit-type hero (since bandits don't have casting animation) but it persistently defies me. Is something wrong with the trigger or it's just bugged?

• Assa animation
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Casting unit)) Equal to Assassin
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Grenade (assa)
  • Actions
    • Animation - Play (Casting unit)'s attack animation

Id just add to the spells Art - Animation names: Attack
This will cause the bandit to do the attack animation when casting the spell.

I dont think your trigger is bugged but you may have to do it with a different timing/in a different way. I used animations a lot with triggers before. I did it this way though.

• Lava Creature Nourishment
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Nourishment (Lava Creature)
  • Actions
    • Animation - Play (Triggering unit)'s morph alternate animation
    • Animation - Queue (Triggering unit)'s stand animation

Thanks, man, simply adding the attack to art animation fixed the issue nicely.
