Can't get grunt attack animation to play

i have the required animation name as "attack" but the animation doesn't play. any idea why?
attack is also the first string and there are no other strings

Are you doing this during a spell cast?

Is the unit paused by any chance? You can also try the native SetUnitAnimationByIndex()... (unit,idinteger)


I assume yes, because I'm pretty sure he is referring to the "Animation Names" field or whatever it is.

why?

Sorry, I meant in the object editor. So he wants it to play as a cast animation. And he also hinted it kind of by using this:


So I assume that he meant the field in the object editor for abilities.

I actually found the above field to do some weird stuff. It would play sometimes yet it wouldn't other times. An old test but I remember it not always working. It might've been conditional though...

I'm having this exact same problem. I have a spell, where I changed the "spell,throw" to "attack". Most of the time he does the attack animation, but sometimes he'll still play the cast animation. Its plain aggravating.

yes i am using the field in the object editor. but i think your right about it only playing sometimes because i got it to work with the male villager model.
