Unit animation while moving and paused

[Furberg]

So i want a unit animation while the unit is Paused and moved with triggers every 0.01 second - This doesn't work and i have no idea why, is there any reason why?

 

[Draphoelix]

Moving = Move animation, cancels it, Pause = Unable to respond to orders. That's what I think. And moving unit with the action Move unit instantly, cancels orders and animation.

if you use move instantly.. it will still cancel...

 

[Furberg]

meh.. so there is no way i can do animation while moving? Even if i make the animation before the movement?

 

[Draphoelix]

Move unit instantly is like a stop command, but it moves

roffle mah woffle. Lame I need da animation!!!111

 

[Draphoelix]

Dunno if it would work, replace the unit with an identical unit that its stop animation is replaced unit's move animation.

But. like.. i need to look like he is "Moving" like normal walk. But while being moved by the action "Move Instantly". Is there no way?

so im gonna use the animation: Walk/Walk Fast

 

[demotry241]

or, create unit.. do the hula, remove unit...


from point a, to point b...keep repeating.. and.. it will probably do the hula.

It will looks so strange, if it's a slide trigger it needs at least 0.1 to be smooth, and a walk animation is about 1 second. He won't even do a half of the walk animation before it gets removed.

I don't think there's any way to do that. Ask a blizzard employee to do that for ya.

Use SetUnitX and SetUnitY , they should not stop unit from playing animation or doing other things. ( If Im not mistaken )

Erh.. Is that JASS? and if its GUI - please explain ^^

 

[Viikuna]

I dont think those functions exist in GUI :/ , but they are really easy to use really. If you want, I can write you an exsample.

uh, so why do you need to pause the unit?

just simply do :

Custom script:   call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Unit, 6)

the index changes per unit, but it is usually between 4 and 6 for walk animation. Then when you are done moving him just call the same script once except 1-3 you would have to test and it will stand. Change udg_Unit to whatever your unit variable is.

That's a really good question. I will try that custom script now, thanks. and ty Viikuna - I will +rep later. and you tricky ^^

 

[Viikuna]

Ok here they are:

set udg_X = GetLocationX(udg_tempLoc)
set udg_Y = GetLocationY(udg_tempLoc)

call SetUnitX(udg_tempUnit,udg_X)
call SetUnitY(udg_tempUnit,udg_Y)

you need real variables X and Y , unit variable tempUnit, and point variable tempLoc.

Ah, it worked! Thanks alot both! +rep for you guys!
