At the moment I'm doing a spell. in this spell i require the unit to play his Stand - 3 animation but I only manages to play either his ordinary stand or his rare. and becouse of the fact that he has 2 rare animations he doesn't allways play the animation I want.

I can also say that the animation model is the forest troll just to be more thorough with my explanition.

Any help is appreciated.

In your spell select Art - Animation Names (The first bar that you can change) and click add string 2 times: |This as first>> stand |This as second>> three.

Should work.
 
okay i tried that but unfortunetley nothing happened. did i do right?

was this what you meant? or did i missunderstand?
strings:
stand
three

or was i supposed to put >> in the beginning either way nothing is happening.
 
bump

i really need to figure out a way to play this animation otherwise theres no point with finishing my ability
 
Art model = forest troll berserker, forest troll
Animation = Stand - 3
 
Here:
Code:
Spell
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to *Your Spell*
    Actions
        Custom script:   call SetUnitAnimationByIndex( GetTriggerUnit(), 2 )
A few things, it'll loop unless you add a wait + reset unit animation actions and it will be done as soon as you click the button, you may want to change event to: Unit - A unit Begins the effect of an ability so it is done as soon as the spell starts

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.

    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
