Tauren Chieftain animation

[Wesulmoon]

I have a hero tauren chieftain in my game and he can learn Cleave.
So when he learns that passive ability all his attacks are like (attack slam) not anymore like attack 1 and attack 2 ... Help pls... I whant him to still attack with 1 and 2...

try this

• TaurenChieftainAttack
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Level of Cleaving Attack for (Attacking unit)) Greater than 0
  • Actions
    • Animation - Play (Attacking unit)'s attack animation
    • Animation - Queue (Attacking unit)'s stand ready animation

replace this Cleaving Attack with your Tauren Chieftain's Cleaving Attack

EDIT: sorry, my bad, Triggering unit should be Attacking unit

This trigger should do the trick for you. It works fine for me.

• Cleave animation
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Level of Cleave Ability for (Attacking unit)) Greater than 0
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Random integer number between 1 and 10) Greater than 3
      • Then - Actions
        • Animation - Play (Attacking unit)'s Attack animation
      • Else - Actions
        • Animation - Play (Attacking unit)'s Attack animation, using only Rare animations

This is the sweeping attack when he is using both his hand
Animation - Play (Attacking unit)'s Attack animation

This is the Stabbing animation when he is using one hand
Animation - Play (Attacking unit)'s Attack animation, using only

In this trigger I made it so that in 70% of his attacks he will attack with the sweeping attack but this could easily be changed.

I recommend you don't use the event, a unit is attacked.

 

[Wesulmoon]

...and why is this not good?

pls explain, i am curious...

 

[Frosthowl]

Because, if you hit attack and then stop it right away, the unit will still play an attack animation even though he isn't attacking. Why are you triggering it? Can't you just change the animation that the spell requires to "attack" rather than "attack slam"?

 

[Wesulmoon]

It looks boring if tauren chieftain is instead of sweep attacking with his axe he is sticking it into the ground all the time... it looks bad... so cleave spell gives that slam attack without any animation names used in ability...

 

[Nherwyziant]

I recommend you don't use the event, a unit is attacked.

and why? It's just right.

edited the second post, Triggering unit should be Attacking unit

I recommend you don't use the event, a unit is attacked.

which event should I use ?

so ?
the animation still stop when I stop the hero before the attack's hit

@Wesulmoon, my trigger works fine for me

final trigger: (modified from Grymlax's trigger)

• TaurenChieftainAttack
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Level of Cleaving Attack for (Attacking unit)) Greater than 0
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Random integer number between 1 and 10) Greater than 3
      • Then - Actions
        • Animation - Play (Attacking unit)'s Attack animation
      • Else - Actions
        • Animation - Play (Attacking unit)'s Attack animation, using only Rare animations
    • Animation - Queue (Attacking unit)'s stand ready animation

i think he means, and i saw it for myself when i made a trigger like this, If you think a tauren that does his slamming animation looks weird, if you use that event, its going to look even weirder . you going to see alot of blank shots and hitting plain air attacks.



just go to the cleave ability , and specify in the animation strings instead (attack) (one) or (attack) (two)

[Wesulmoon]
