Unit animation

[Microdragon6]

Hey, I'm having a problem with my model that has more than one spell animation. I do the trigger
Animation: Play (triggering unit's) Spell 2 animation.

But since it has 3 spell animations, it only does it 1/3 of the time. Sometimes it does the spell 1 animation, spell 2 and sometimes spell 3. How can I make it so it does the spell 2 animation 100% of the time?

Try by going to your ability and edit your Art - Animation Names to what you want to use, like attack or spell. I'm not sure if you can put like attack1 or attack2 seperately, but it may work.

Try this : Do the same thing as I said before, but just have attack (eg)
Then make a trigger like this :

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Storm Bolt SPAM
  • Actions
    • Animation - Play Blood Mage 0000 <gen>'s attack1 animation

It worked for me. It did only attack1 animation.

EDIT : if spell is channeling, try using A unit Begins channeling an ability.

[Microdragon6]

Try using spell1 for example instead of attack1

spell,
second

is what I do in these situations, unless I'm understanding the question wrong.

I'd look in the world editor for the proper animation strings (object editor -> your unit -> browse to Art - Model) click, then the model apperas (o rly) at the left side of the screen and above the shown model is kinda like a bar where you can check them.
Then triggers and set the animation string to the matching string you found in the we.
I hope it helps ^^

Did you make sure that the spell being cast has no animation? It might be set to spell, causing the unit to play a random spell animation.
