Attack Animations

Attack Animations

This has been driving me insane all day. I've been trying to use the individual attack animations on the blood mage for various things, but i can't figure out how to make only one attack animation play!

I've tried "attack" "attack one" "attack, one" "attack three" "attack, three" "attack 1" "attack -1"

when i use concatenate strings in a trigger to add "attack" and anything he just stands there.
when i use "attack one" as one string in a trigger or use any of the strings from paragraph 2 in a spell he uses any one of his 3 attack animations, i don't want that, i want only one attack to play 100% of the time.

You mean to play a specific attack animation? I'm afraid I don't think this is possible. I have tried this too.

i think the only way is to specify rarity.

You can do it through JASS, every animation has indes like 1,2,3, and so on. Each unit has different index anim, let says unit x walk anim indexed with 5, unit y walk anim indexed with 3. Then call JASS function (sorry, I don't remember) which will order a unit to do its anim based on index.

Ah Leopard you are the best! I though this was impossible to do!

Here is the function.

call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(unit, integer)

To know which animation begin with "Stand - 1" and then just click until you get the animation you want. The amount of times you clicked is the animation index. Like if you use a Tauren Chieftain click 6 times to get his animation where he thrusts with his halberd, "Attack - 2". Forget about that "2". It has nothing to do with the index.

Thanks for ur responses guys, i was trying to avoid having to learn JASS. I've found some kick ass models on this site that i might be able to use as a work around anyway. So ha! take that JASS
