Using Attachment Animations

[maskedpoptart]

how would you go about making an attachment play different animations? in my map, a hero can pick up a chainsaw item. when the hero is just standing around, the chainsaw should not be running. once the hero attacks, the chainsaw should run.

i know that i could do this using triggers and two chainsaw attachments with different stand animations, but i guess my question is: is it possible to make one attachment play different animations besides 'stand'?

No. The only thing you could do is to make it two attatchments, with one having the chain spinning as the "stand" animation, and the other being the same standing still.
This can be done easily in magos, ask me if you dont know how this is done and i will help you.

well, for sure there is some workaround...
but the straight way like you stated wont work as there is no "play attachments anim" trigger (you might want to ask someone with jass knowledge though)

I guess you would need two attachment models of the chainsaw both having a different animation.
