Units Animation Problem!

[VoidLordXtreme]

i have got a problem, i cant solve:

i made a custom hero which changes with a modified 'metamorphosis' skill into a wc3 phoenix...

The Problem: everytime the morphed phoenix is standing, he plays the 'stand alternate' animation
which looks crappy because hes an egg ..

i just wanted him to use his normal 'stand' animation and i tried a lot, but that doesnt worked...

so pls pls help me

i will give everyone +rep who helped ^^

Hmm :/ i can't say that i've tried this, but my logic tells me, that when the metamorphosis is cast, it's always alternate that's displayed. There might be a solution, if you can get the phoenix model out, you might be able to remove the alternate stands. But it's too much work, i reckon. It's all i can do :/

ok ty i also thought about that you got it right
but how can i remove the animation?

i dont care about how much work it is^^

AFAIK you have to make a trigger for it.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

I don't think you can make a trigger for it, unless you constantly check what animation is displaying. Else than that, i think you gotta get some modeller to extract the phoenix model, and remove the animations. I'm not a modeller, and i don't know how to do it.

• Untitled Trigger 004
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Metamorphosis
  • Actions
    • Unit - Replace (Triggering unit) with a Phoenix using The old unit's life and mana

You could do something like that, where as the Phoenix here is the same hero but with a different model but the same skills level exp etc...

I dunno, i didn't put to much thought in it but maybe it works maybe it doesn't.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

That would work, but a lot of leaks is involved there. You can only replace a unit once, and then the replaced unit can't be replaced itself. and the hero should be reclaimable. The bonus gotten from the Metamorphosis, is hard to replace triggered. and so on... But it's easier than my idea, i reckon.

 

[n00byn4t3r]

Leaks are fixable, and as long as its possible it should be okay because he told us it didn't matter how much work it was.

Little joke

• The hive workshop
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Asks for help with something.
  • Conditions
    • It doesn't matter how much work it is to fix the problem as long as its possible.
  • Actions
    • A THW member gives a solution

Or something like that
