[Spell] Triggering Custom Attack Animations

[Davy Jones]

Hey I am making a creep-unit without an attack animation and want to trigger a different animation to overwrite his current (He doesn't play any animation).

Here's the Trigger. But it doesn't work.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Creep
  • Actions
    • Animation - Play (Attacking unit)'s stand 3 animation

Can someone help me?

Animation - Play (Attacking unit)'s stand 3 animation

You have it playing the stand animation, change that to attack and it should work.

But it doesn't have an attack animation.

Check your animation box (when you've a unit selected to place, on the left hand side of the screen) and scroll through the animations to get the desired name of the animation you wish to play and trigger that to play... as far as any other animations, I'm not sure what you're trying to do. As far as I know, custom animations have to come with the model?

But the animation won't play for no reason. Is there an error in the trigger?

I just want it to play it's stand 3 animation.

I just want it to play it's stand 3 animation.

there is no error on your trigger, i've tested it and it worked well.

maybe it has something to do with the model's animation itself.

Well looks like it does play a stand animation, but not the specific stand 3.

Well looks like it does play a stand animation, but not the specific stand 3.

maybe it's because the GUI function didn't know what's stand 3.

here, don't use this

• Animation - Play (Attacking unit)'s stand 3 animation

use this instead

• Set Creep = (Attacking unit)
• Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(Creep, Integer)

play with Integer (1,2,3,...,n) until you find the right animation.

i just tested it for Footman.
Integer = 1 is for Stand 2
Integer = 2 is for Stand Victory
Integer = 3 is for Stand 4
etc, etc.

all of units have different animation indices, so you will need to do trial and error until you find the right animation (stand 3). i hope you understand this.

Well that works!

Thank you!
