Animation Specificiation Issue

[Battlemapsta]

Hey all, I've been messing around with the editor and I'm come up with a little problem. I'm trying to make a unit I specify play an animation in specific as in I want it to play animation attack-3.

I've already read up on the custom script and everything but my guy apparently doesn't perform an animation at all.

To recap the situation I have one trigger that sets a unit variable like so.

• Set Bob = Bob

Bob the variable = Bob the guy on the map.

Now for the trigger that makes it work looks like this.

• Animation
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 0.10 game-time seconds
    • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Bob,5)
    • Wait 1.00 game-time seconds
    • Unit - Pause Bob 0000 <gen>

Firstly, this trigger is run through another trigger that simply has a run action.
I have a second wait and then a pause because I'm attempting to pause the animation at a point to make it pose. I got the integer for the animation using the viewer and the model has over 9 animations so the integer can't be an issue.

Other than that, I have no more critical information to give unless someone uncovers my issue.

Thank you in advance.

Delete the custom script the use animation - play bob attack 3 animation

 

[Battlemapsta]

Won't even work because it selects a random attack animation. The model has about 4 attack animations so by using attack 3, it chooses one of them which is why I'm using the custom script suggested by others in other threads.

 

[Gtam]

Well then im not sure the animation index number but are you sure that that is the right number

 

[Battlemapsta]

Using the viewer I see the animations of the model. There are 5 animations above it in the list so it's the 6st and because you count the first as 0 then it's 5 just like I coded.

 

[Gtam]

Quikly try it without pausing the unit. I think that stops animations playing

 

[Battlemapsta]

It did nothing.

 

[Gtam]

Wel this wont fix the problem but pausing a unit wont stop him from finishing his animation

 

[Battlemapsta]

I already stated that this was intentionally done because I am attempting to pose the unit at certain point while they perform the specified animation.

 

[Gtam]

Yes that why i say that because he wont pose he will finish his animation and i cant see any problems with what is here could you maby post all 3 triggers fully

 

[Battlemapsta]

The third trigger isn't a concern because I tested it originally with the animation command and it worked. There is only an issue within these 2 triggers that apparently result in Bob not doing any action.

 

[Gtam]

K insert this custom script in the animation triger. local unit u = udg_Bob. Then change to SetUnitAnimationByIndex((u),5)

 

[Battlemapsta]

That just gave me compilation errors when attempting to save the map.

 

[Gtam]

What error and did you put the new custom script above every thing in the actions it must be first

 

[Battlemapsta]

This is basically how it looks like.

• Animation
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local unit u = udg_Bob
    • Wait 0.10 game-time seconds
    • Custom script: SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Bob,5)

The first custom script needs a code statement and the second needs a name so the original for the second was fine before.

 

[Gtam]

The reason for the new custom script was to replace the udg_Bob part. Is bob preplaced. What varaible are you seting bob to.

 

[Battlemapsta]

I tried it both ways with and without the udg with errors, Bob is preplaced and I already said I set bob to a unit variable under a map initilization trigger.

 

[Gtam]

Cant you then set the variable again in that trigger

 

[Battlemapsta]

Didn't do anything

 

[Battlemapsta]

Sorry to double post but I fixed the issue myself. Thank you though for your effort in helping me.
