Animation: Gate Open

Does anyone know the name of the animation for an open gate? I've made a unit based off of a gate, and an ability for opening and closing a gate, and I've made a trigger for the gate's animation, but I need to know the gate's open animation for it to work, I've tried "Death". "Death Alternate", "Death Alternate (0.667 s)", and out of despiration, "Open" I'm pretty sure it's the animation name, but It might not be, here is the trigger if the problem is something else.
Event
A unit starts the effect of an ability
Condition
Ability being cast equal to Open/Close Gate
Action
If/Then/Else
If: Triggering unit equal to Gate (Closed)
Then: Do (animation) for triggering unit
Else: Do nothing[/code]

Just changing the animation won't actually open the gate. You need to use the Destructible: Open/Close Gate action instead.

That would make life much easier for me, but I didn't think it worked for units.

Sorry, missed the fact that it was a unit. In that case, I am not entirely certain you can open the gate. What purpose does the unit-gate serve?

Closed - "stand" animation.
Open - "death alternate" animation.
Death - "death" animation.

The idea of it being a unit is primarily so you can build them and repair manually, also the ability to open one by hitting an ability button is a nice side feature.
Sorry, but "death alternate" doesn't work.
