Help with jump spell animation

[darth_ilidan]

i made a jump spell for a hero with Thrall model, and it works fine but i want it to play the walk animation as it jumps so it looks better, nbody knows how to do this?

Sadly, units are hard coded to play the walk animation only while actually walking.

It is possible. Just use SetunitAnimationByIndex -function.

Note that you need to use SetUnitX and SetUnitY -functions instead of SetUnitPosition, because SetUnitPosition cancels your animation.

Edit. If you are using GUI, you can of course do it by using few custom scripts.

well actally im using gui and i dont know nothing about jass so plz could u post me the custom scripts needed

 

[Viikuna]

ok, here they come:

custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Unit,someinteger)

When you use GUI variables in Jass they get udg_ prefix.
Replace udg_Unit with udg_<yourVariableName>

Different models have different integers for animations, so you need to test which integer is walk for your model.


try: 0, 1, 2, 3 ... etc.

Just like this:
custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Unit,1)
custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Unit,2)

Then you need to make your Jump not to cancel animation.

You are probably using PolarProjection for calculating next point where unit will move.
You need to find out that locations x and y coordinates.

You need 2 real variables: PointX and PointY


Then you store points x and y to those variables:

custom script: set udg_PointX=GetLocationX(udg_Point)
custom script: set udg_PointY=GetLocationY(udg_Point)

After this you have x and y cordinates.

This is how you set your units location without cancelling animation:

custom script: call SetUnitX(udg_Unit,udg_PointX)
custom script: call SetUnitY(udg_Unit,udg_PointY)
