2 questions about Animations

[naughty]

1) Is there any way to play a certain stand animation. Lets say Treant have 4 stand animations, is there any way to play only the stand 4 animation?

2)Why this action

• Animation - Play (Last created unit)'s attack animation, using only Common animations

does not work? It says "This animation will repeat until reset with "Reset Unit Animation"" but the animation does not repeat, it is only played once. How to make it work?

last created unit? try triggering unit

 

[Faust]

native SetUnitAnimationByIndex takes unit whichUnit, integer whichAnimation returns nothing

Call it periodically.
Or try to give the units the animation tag 'loop'.

 

[ElderKingpin]

hes using GUI, i dont think he knows how to use JASS

 

[Faust]

I wouldn't call a single line of custom script jass
Especially such an easy one you. You just put a unit variable and a number there, no need to clear any variable, no need for additional lines.

This is the answer for the second question? Plus i dont really get this.. . And what about the first question?

 

[Faust]

To both.
What you don't get?

 

[naughty]

well i'm a noob in animations and i don't really understand what i do with this line of code "native SetUnitAnimationByIndex takes unit whichUnit, integer whichAnimation returns nothing". What do i call here? Can you please explain better

 

[Faust]

• Custom Script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_YourUnit, <experiment with any number>)

This is cool! . It actually works. +rep to you man. Btw while i'm here can u also tell me how to destroy a trigger(i mean destroy not turn off). And btw when i destroy a trigger that memory will be reserved for something else right?

 

[Faust]

I think there is a GUI function for that...

 

[naughty]

No there is not. There was in the WEU but since its outdated and i don't use it i can't destroy a trigger now using GUI.

 

[Faust]

Don't have editor open, so try this:

Custom Script: call DestroyTrigger(<yourtriggernamehere>)

To get your trigger name, just create a new trigger, add a name to it, don't add anything else.
Then convert it to JASS (it gets a prefix like gg_trg_<thetriggername>, or something like that).
