Where is the sandman?

[Misery]

hi
I'm newbie mapmaker so I have a question.
I want some of my units in the map to sleep.I tried sleep and sleep at night actions but it didn't worked.Then i changed the units as neutral passive ,and it didn't worked too.
Is there any other way to accomplish this?
please help me ,because this map will be my presentation at college.

you're certainly thinking well for a newbie, you've done well so far...

have you tried changing the units to neutral hostile yet? that might do the trick. Use those sleep or sleep at night actions as well they should work.

yes "neutral hostile" thing did worked! Thank you so much!
but now i have another problem ,they are sleeping at standing position.Is there anyway that i will make them lay down?

Well actually there isnt a sleep animation in warcraft, as far as I know... but what you can try to do is:
When ever the right time of day comes play the "decay flesh" animation for those units you want to sleep... do this by a trigger

Events
Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 22.00
Conditions
Actions
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
((Picked unit) is sleeping) Equal to True
Then - Actions
Animation - Play (Picked unit)'s decay flesh animation
Else - Actions
Do nothing

Now this is really an unelegant way to do this. Using "Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) " isnt really suggested as a good way of doing things, but this is all coming from my head so...
I cant think of anything better for now. Im also not sure that the time of day is quite right, maybe they go to sleep later or erlier, and maybe you need to run this a second after they go to sleep.
Anyway If you decide to do this, you`ll probably need another trigger to put them back to their previous state( the stand position)

That`s all I can think for now... good luck

some units have a sleep animation, others dont. Ogres do for example.
