Using Avatar but not the Alternate Animation

[dratiny]

Hey,

I am currently working on a RPG-style map, and one of the heroes uses the Ancient Protector's model (not alternate), and I gave him a spell that is basically Avatar from the mountain king.
But the problem is, whenever I use this spell, the Hero uses alternates animations (and thus looks like a building), and I don't want that, I want him to keep the *not alternate* look.
I tried to find if that was caused by the "Animation tag" field, but it's empty on both Hero and spell...

Does anyone know how to fix that ? :3

Actually, you will have to mess with the Ancient Protector's animation in Model Editors from what I know. It cannot be done without doing that.

 

[dratiny]

I guess I don't have the choice then... Thank you

 

[Binsu]

But I think that will mess its all through animation when you used as buildings also.

There is a version of Avatar spell that human hero Lord Garithos uses. That spell only increased his size, but did not change animations... try that Avatar.

 

[Binsu]

Hmmm, I see.... also worth a shot.

This works.

Untitled Trigger 103 Events Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability Conditions (Ability being cast) Equal to Avatar Actions Wait 0.00 seconds Animation - Remove the alternate animation tag to (Triggering unit)

A 0.00 timer would be even better.

The Lord Garithos version does also use Alternate Animations... I guess you can't see it because Lord Garithos simply doesn't have any Alternate Animations...
I'll just go with the trigger version, thank you

Oh, and by the way, is there a way to change the text on the bar under your hero's name, when you use Avatar ? (at the moment it says "Avatar")
I looked into the thingy with all the game's text, but couldn't find it.

Go to Buff/Effects in Object editor and create a new buff based off Avatar. Change its ingame name. Then add that buff into Buff field of your custom Avatar spell

 

[dratiny]

Nah, already tried that, it's not about the buff

 

[pOke]

Change the tooltip of the buff to whatever you want the bar to say.
