[Trigger] Unit Move Instantly + Play Animation?

[xorkatoss]

I remember seeing this neat feature somewhere before but I'm not sure where.

So Let's say, I want Blademaster to move straight forward (with move unit instantly trigger) and play his attack animation, how can i achieve that in GUI?

If i recall correctly, It can be done using Custom Scripts.

(+2) to all that help!

Uhm, tried SetUnitX() and SetUnitY() I believe they keep animations...

Just move it to the target point and play animation?
It works totaly normally for me lol

It will play animations with out custom scripts unless you want to play Walk animation.
Using set unitx and set unity will make unit able attack and casp spells while charging.
You can also use set unit animation by index, that custom script is really useful, because you can play any animation while moving even Walk animation.
To get animation index open model with model viewer and count animation 1, 2, 3 until you get to the animation you want to play. Using magos to find animation index wont works

Here's an example Action for that problem of yours.... just set Blademaster into a variable and also the region if you want.

• Actions
  • Unit - Move Blademaster 0003 <gen> instantly to (Center of Region 000 <gen>)
  • Animation - Play Blademaster 0003 <gen>'s attack animation

Is this what you mean or is their a deeper meaning to that question?

I never knew you don't know that.

Yep,they do.

The big dif of SetUnitX/Y vs SetUnitPosition is that it takes account pathing. Its like SetUnitX/Y + Order Unit to Stop

Take note that there's a time in capturing an attack animation, a blademaster takes 1.1/sec animation so your loop in doing that should be equals or higher than that, maybe you want that animation while BM is charging?...

 

[Adiktuz]

Well, you can always check the pathing urself... as for the animation time, you can either have another variable that checks time elapsed, if its equal to the animation time, reset the animation and the variable to 0...

Move Unit (Instantly)
After the execution of this function, the unit is order to Stop, resulting in stopping of Playing Unit Animation.

SetUnitX/Y
This on the other hand, doesn't order the unit to Stop after execution, therefore you can combine this with Playing Unit Animation.

SetUnitAnimationByIndex
This function should be used to play the specific animation provided from the unit. Let's say the index of your desired animation is 4, therefore it would be like this;

• Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Caster, 4)

Animation Index starts from 0.

hmm yeah the X/Y is the one I'm looking for, where do I find that action? is it jass?

Action >>> General >>>> Custom Script then just copy the Script Code. But I think the animation index will be random as defskull said. =)

hey man thnx a lot for the help!
but I got a minor problem, it only plays animation when I order the unit to move at a point, how to make it play the animation without having to order it to move?

(+2) to all that helped, thnx!

please check the map: (nvm the leaks it's just a test)

So you want to play the animation without moving or anything? Just do Play the animation with this trigger:

• Animation - Play (Last Created unit)'s stand animation

It will play an animation but will stop when ordered to move or Move Instantly is used.
