Using an effect as a death animation?

[radeonmaster]

I want to use a wall model in my map, but unfortunately, it has a lame death animation. I was wondering if it is possible to add an effect to a death animation, so that as soon as a unit begins to die, the effect - a cloud of smoke, an explosion, etc. - will occur.

Thanks.

I don't have world editor but it should be close to this.

• Event
  • Unit - Dies
• Conditions
  • Dying unit equal to (heres your unit)
• Events
  • Create special effect at position of dying unit
  • Destroy last created special effect

Use this this trigger:

• Special Effect
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at TempPoint using <Model Path>
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
    • Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game

Remove unit only if your unit cannot be revived/resurrected.

If your unit won't be removed, set ''Death Time'' to 0.01 and ''Death Type'' to ''Can't raise, Does not Decay''

For model path, I recommend:

Objects\Spawnmodels\Other\NeutralBuildingExplosion\NeutralBuildingExplosion.mdl
or
Objects\Spawnmodels\Human\HCancelDeath\HCancelDeath.mdl
