Animation problems...

I haven't done this stuff in a while, so I'm really rusty.

Basically, I have a problem (other than the fact I found good models that didn't have their paths listed with them): these models have more than 1 spell animation: Spell, Spell 2, spell 3, spell 4, and Spell Throw. Or at least this is for one of them. I'm trying to make it so when it casts a certain spell, it ALWAYS casts say, spell 1. For another say spell 2, and so on.

The problem is, the thing pretty much still plays random spell animations...

The animation names are in their exact capitalization.

I got the animation names from the little picture on the world editor under the minimap display thing...

Also, it would be much appreciated on how to distinct one from another in a trigger? Because there it's condensed all in one string and I want to be sure I am doing things right.
 
Totally hopeless without modifying the model or doing something with triggers (which in the end doesn't turn out too cool). It's same with attack animations.
 
Well, actually, it should work if you type in the EXACT String of the Spell in the Spell Animation thingy. Anyways, if that doesn't work, then leave that blank, and make a Spell Trigger. In the Actions, you have a line of " Animation - play <Hero> Animation" And reset it at the end of the Spell.
 
So, assuming it is possible, do I have to put "spell" for that one to only work? Because that one is pretty vague.

For spell 2 do I have to put "spell" and "2" or just "spell 2"?

    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/
