arthas model - how to change his casting animation

[isaax190]

well if u look on how he uses his abilities, its not good-looking...
how do i change it??

 

[HydraRancher]

you cant without editing the units model because that animation is implemented in the model.

 

[Dinowc]

changing animation names of his spells would do it...

 

[HydraRancher]

really? O.O

 

[Deviruchi]

it depends on what kind of change do you want with the arthas.. either from the model or the casting animation..

the answers are just the posts b4 this post.. ^^

yes but Arthas doesn't have much animations... as far as I know only:

1. stand
2. walk
3. attack 1
4. attack 2
5. spell
6. stand channel
7. death

(I don't have we open so I'm not sure are these animations all of them)

[Dinowc]

object editor > Abilities > (some spell) > Art - Animation Names

for example:

Animation Name for Blizzard is: stand,channel

trigger it.

option 1 > use standard GUI triggering ( Animation - Play Unit Animation )

option 2 > use more specified Custom Script ( call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(unit,integer) )

..ive used the viewer to see what the animation index of Arthas(paladin) is...
spell is 8.
attack 1 (sideways) is 4.
attack 2 (vertical) is 5.

 

[Crusher]

Perhaps you want another Arthas Model?

for example:

Animation Name for Blizzard is: stand,channel

its a string???
do i need to type it but where do i get the animation for arthas???

 

[Jagan]

When you select the model, it appears in a window on the lower left of your WE. The name of the animations are displayed as well.

 

[isaax190]

attack 2???
thats the animation there...
but it doesn't work...

 

[Jagan]

Some spells don't show an animation when being cast. What spell are you using?

 

[isaax190]

thunder clap...
figer of death...

 

[13lade619]

you can't use specifics in the data field. it will only random between the 2 attacks.

the custom script is the best way to use very specific animations.
