Using defend animation while using defend -reverts animation to stand

[rulerofiron99]

Hi

I'm making a hero that has both the Defend ability, and an ability called Shield Bash (storm bolt), which uses the defend animation.

My problem is that if I cast Shield Bash while having defend active, the animation returns to undefend after casting, even though defend is still active.

Manually adding and removing the defend animation tag doesn't work.

did you try it with SetUnitAnimationByIndex?

I want to avoid the messy business of changing animations by trigger.

Although, I haven't tried changing it when unit finishes casting a spell, which might work. Thanks!

EDIT: Worked like a charm, thanks again.
