When a unit casts a spell he does an animation

[Beau]

Whenever my unit (a footman) casts a spell he just stands still ... I want to make it so that when he casts a spell (lets say stormbolt) he swings his sword.


Also i'd like to know how to make it when a unit evades an attack he does the defend special effect or whatever it is... also if you know how to get rid of the EVADE writing which comes up above the units head when it evades.

Thanks!

Those are actually very good questions.. The Game Interface buttons would be the most likely place for the Evade text thing. The evade animation, I think might be hard, but I am not a pro in the editor.

Look around at other spells like there is a option somewhere on the Stormbolt spell that should say something like "spell, slam".. This is simply a guess but replace that with Attack?

World Editor Help Zone may be a better spot for this thread. But it does related to animation roughly.

Thanks Hawking i got the thing where you cast a spell and you swing your sword right!
Cheers mate

Now hopefully someone can help me with the evasion thing

it's hard to detect when a unit evades an attack
but if you want to remove the text that shows up look in Advanced > Game interface and look for a field where is written miss (don't have WE open right now) then delete that text

Oddly enough I am quoting my own post.. But as you can see... I agree.. 50% of the new people on this site make the same mistake. I had to tell this to about 10 people yesterday.
