call SetUnitAnimationByIndex... Burning Question

[•Pooter•]

When my hero casts I spell I want him to use attack - 2 animation. I tried using call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(GetTriggerUnit(), 2) and it didn't work. Can anyone help?

call SetUnitAnimationByIndex[COLOR=Orange](GetTriggerUnit(), 2) [/COLOR] 
If I put in 2 after GetTriggerUnit(),would make the unit play attack - 2 when I use Play Unit's attack Animation?

Attack 2 doesn't necessarily have 2 as index.

Get something like wc3viewer to have a look at the model.
Or write a trigger that plays them, with a 3 or so seconds wait in between.
Preferably also telling you what index it's currently playing.

Unfortunately I don't have wc3viewer , could you tell me the script that would make him play attack - 2?

That is different for each different unit, if you don't have wc3viewer then you have to test until you find the right number.

Where can I find the index it's currently playing? I can only see the Tauren Chieftain's attack - 2 animation...

EDIT: And what would the script look like if I were to change it's index to 2? Would it be call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Caster, 2) ?

Animation indexes are included with the model, each one is different. The 'Attack' anim might have index 5 for a Footman, but index 2 for a Peasant. Just make a script that plays unit animations when you select a unit, and shows what index it is currently showing. That, or you open up the model stuff in notepad and look at the animations, which should be listed. Look for the animation you want and copy the index

But what if the index is 2? call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Caster,2) << is that correct?!? please just give me an example!

Yes, that is correct. It will set the unit udg_Caster to play the animation that has index 2.
