System GetUnitAnimation

GetUnitAnimation

Introduction

There is no current native (or BJ) that detects a units current animation. I was inspired to make this from this thread.

How it works is whenever a unit is given an order, it sets it's animation according to the order it was given.

If your going to set a units animation via triggers, you will have to use my replacement function.

function SetUnitAnimationEx takes unit whichUnit, string whichAnimation returns nothing

Requires: AutoIndex,TimerUtils

Code

//    * It gets the units current animation
//
//  FUNCTION LIST
//    * SetUnitAnimationEx(unit, animation) -- Sets the units animation
//    * GetUnitLastAnimation(unit) -- Gets the units last animation
//    * GetUnitAnimation(unit) -- Gets the units current animation

Definietly will come in handle for my Image Trail

EDIT: Install section of AutoIndex confuse me, should I just leave it?
FURTHER EDIT:
Leave it as in just copy and not touch anything at all?

Which one? Table version or Unit Custom Value. When I use: Table version:

Missing requirement: Table (libraries cannot require scopes)

Definietly will come in handle for my Image Trail

Thank you.

If anyone notices any animations that could occur, that I didn't already add then please state so.

attack,stand,walk,swim are all detected.

EDIT: Install section of AutoIndex confuse me, should I just leave it?

Now sure what you mean by "Just leave it", because this system requires it.

All you need to do is copy the AutoIndex trigger into your map.

It starts showing that TimerUtils exceed max timer limit or something.... it works... but. BTW, what about spell animation? It also stuffed up my Jump spell featured in the Image Trail... I had to re download from my thread.

If your are using red version, use blue if reds exceeding.

Working on casting now

EDIT: Detecting casting is going to make the system much longer and more complicated, it would be easier if you just used SetUnitAnimationEx at the beginning of your spell.

This may be one con of using this system.

It doesn't matter which one. Though the table version requires Table by vexorian.

 

[Blackrage]

Does it detect the difference between attack 1, attack 2, and/or attack 3?

            call ReleaseTimer(t[id])
            call SetTimerData(t[id], id)
            call TimerStart(t[id], ACCURACY, false, function Callback)

This should say everything. WHAT THE FUCK dude? You release a timer and then you start it?

call GroupEnumUnitsInRange(g, x[id], y[id],  POSITION_RADIUS, null)

Null boolexpr, bad.

Hell, it doesn't even WORK.

Rofl, I was JUST about to post that, and then saw your post. I noticed because...
>It starts showing that TimerUtils exceed max timer limit
that is a SERIOUS error, don't brush it off.

Does this detect morph animations?

BlackRose: I recommend you not make any of your resources require this until it is at very least vaguely stable.

 

[TriggerHappy]

Calm down, holy shit, accident.

Null boolexpr, bad.

I heard they were only bad in events, I can't keep up these days

Does this detect morph animations?

It only detects the standard animations, so i guess this may not be that useful.

Hell, it doesn't even WORK.

Have you even tested it?

The animations I said work, work.

Anyways, this can probably be graveyarded, due to the lack of automatic animations it doesn't detect.

> I heard they were only bad in events, I can't keep up these days
Quite the opposite, in fact. Source?

You also don't need TimerUtils for this. But.. As you wish:

Just a note, you don't have to submit everything you 'create'.
