Custom Ability Help

[CrazyCon]

I am trying to create a custom Bladestorm type of ability. I'm using it on a footman-looking character. I test it out in my map, but every time I select the ability, absolutely nothing happens. I can't figure out how to animate him so that he does the whirlwind thing, and it doesn't seem to be damaging them either. Help?

Actually, it is damaging them and stuff, but it's really the animation that I can't get.

(Sorry didn't realize there was an edit button)
Darn, well is there some other animation I could use to at least show that something is happening?

I don't know about the footman model, but you could try different spell animations, such as "spell slam" "spell channel" etc.

i suggest this is better. Just insert it via triggers.

maybe these could help:
Custom Bladestorm Models
Blademaster Bladestorm Model

attach the effect to your unit for the duration of the spell

Thanks for the help, but for some reason I just can't get the dumb thing to work. I'll just lose the bladestorm idea and instead put in something more simpler. Thank you though.
