Slide spell question

Guest
I've created a slide spell for a Dire Mammoth model unit. I want the Mammoth to appear as though it is running during the spell. Is there a way I can get the model to play the Walk Fast animation during the spell? All it does right now is appear as though he is sliding on ice. Here is my spell so far:

Code: 
function Trig_Icecrown_Snowplow_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
	return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A007'
endfunction

function GetAoe takes unit u returns real
	if UnitHasBuffBJ( u, 'B000' ) == true then
	 return 175.00
	else
	 return 125.00
	endif
endfunction

function GetStep takes nothing returns real
	return 20.00
endfunction

function Damage takes unit u returns real
	return (20.00 * (GetUnitAbilityLevel(u, 'A007')*0.25+.50))
endfunction

function Snowplow takes nothing returns nothing
local timer snowplow = GetExpiredTimer()
local unit trig = H2U(GetHandleHandle( snowplow, "trig" ))
local real dist = GetHandleReal( snowplow, "dist" )
local real N = GetHandleReal( snowplow, "N" )
local real angle = GetHandleReal( snowplow, "angle" )
local real AoE = GetAoe(trig)
local real damage = Damage(trig)
local group g = CreateGroup()
local group g1 = CreateGroup()
local unit u

//add all units into group g
call GroupAddUnit( g, trig )

set g1 = GetUnitsInRangeOfLocAll( AoE, PolarProjectionBJ( GetUnitLoc(trig), 60, angle ) )
loop
  set u = FirstOfGroup(g1)
  exitwhen u == null
  call GroupRemoveUnit( g1, u )
 if IsUnitEnemy( u, GetOwningPlayer(trig) ) == true then
  call GroupAddUnit( g, u )
 endif
endloop

//move units
if ((N <= dist) and (not (IsUnitType(trig,UNIT_TYPE_DEAD)))) then

set N = N + GetStep()
call SetHandleReal (snowplow, "N", N)

loop
  set u = FirstOfGroup(g)
  exitwhen u == null
  call GroupRemoveUnit( g, u )
  call SetUnitPositionLoc( u, PolarProjectionBJ(GetUnitLoc(u), GetStep(), angle))
 if u != trig then
  call UnitDamageTargetBJ( trig, u, damage, ATTACK_TYPE_NORMAL, DAMAGE_TYPE_NORMAL )
 endif
endloop

else  
  call PauseTimer(snowplow)		
  call PauseUnit( trig, false )
  call ResetUnitAnimation( trig )				
  call SetUnitPathing( trig, true )
  set trig = null		
  call FlushHandleLocals(snowplow)
  call DestroyTimer(snowplow) 
endif

endfunction

function Trig_Icecrown_Snowplow_Actions takes nothing returns nothing

local unit trig = GetTriggerUnit()
local location p = GetSpellTargetLoc()
local real angle = AngleBetweenPoints( GetUnitLoc(trig), p )
local real dist = DistanceBetweenPoints( GetUnitLoc(trig), p)
local timer snowplow = CreateTimer()

call PauseUnit( trig, true )
call SetUnitAnimation( trig, "walk fast" )
call SetUnitPathing( trig, false )
	
call SetHandleHandle(snowplow, "trig", trig)
call SetHandleReal(snowplow, "angle", angle)
call SetHandleReal(snowplow, "dist", dist)
call TimerStart(snowplow, 0.05, true, function Snowplow)

endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Icecrown_Snowplow takes nothing returns nothing
	set gg_trg_Icecrown_Snowplow = CreateTrigger(  )
	call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Icecrown_Snowplow, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
	call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Icecrown_Snowplow, Condition( function Trig_Icecrown_Snowplow_Conditions ) )
	call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Icecrown_Snowplow, function Trig_Icecrown_Snowplow_Actions )
endfunction

Why want it to slide when you can have it actually run ;) lol

Anyway, if you're still content, try using a trigger:

Animation - Play (mamoth)'s run animation

I'm not sure if that'll work per say as I haven't tried it with your code, but it wouldn't hurt to try it.

I want it to slide because I want him to move in a straight line and not deviate from that path. The only way to do that with a move command is to give him locust which also makes him unselectable to other players (invulnerable), which is not what I want. I've tried telling it to play the animation, I have that line in there, but for some reason it does not work.

Change can be a good thing

Code: 
native          SetUnitAnimationByIndex     takes unit whichUnit, integer whichAnimation returns nothing

find ur models walk animation ID and use that, this forces animations through movement

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
