walk/run??

[karland90]

how does w3 utilize walk and run? whats the difference?
i know there walk and run speed at the top of unit editor, but thats only animations speed, where would the difference in movement come?
i know that some models (e.g. kodo) has different animations for run and walk, does that mean that it has something to do with devour??

I think a unit that has walk and run animations will play different animations at certain movement speeds...

 

[Acutesharpness]

I don't think that makes a difference to the rest, only a few, like pit lord and ... kodo..

AFAIK, a unit that has walk/run animations will play its walk animation when its slowed by 50% of its current movement speed.

Meaning, if it has 300 and its movement speed is reduced to 150 or less, it will start to walk, instead of running slowly.

thank you for help.

so i should use somekind of ability (negative movement speed bonus aura, or dummy to cast slow wit duration 0) to make a unit walk?
and if i edit a model to have an additional animation "run" then i can use it with any model?

hey this thread sounds interesting but....few models have walk anim, right? i mean, not necessarly all.

I don't think it depends on the base walk/run speed, but on the events ingame.
For example, if the pitlord (which normally displays his walk fast anim) were to be slowed by a spell (Slow, Frost, etc.), he would use his regular walk anim.
EDIT: LordPerenoldeII, not all models have walk anims, and even fewer have walk fast anims. Consider buildings and normal units as an example.
EDIT2: Ah well MortAr- knew better
