Stand Animation Problem solved!

Buster	Hi guys! Use JASS (Custom Text) and take that function: *call SetUnitAnimationByIndex ( unit whichUnit, integer AnimationIndex )* With that function, all animations work, also the STAND animations.:D The only problem is, you have to find out the unit animation index. It goes from 0 till ... I found that function in common.j and it works great!:D ~Buster

how can I find out the index then? is it the same for every unit (all units have stand animation 1 = animation index 1?) or is it different with every unit?

Anway, thanks for posting! This sure is VERY helpful!!!!!

Guest	make the play animation in the gui with the animation you want. then convert it to jass. it will show you the number...then turn it into the jass code that buster said

FireAarro	i think... click on a unit in the palette after starting WE and teh first animation you see is 0 press right and you get one press right again and you get 2 etc.

Buster	Hi guys! I've just made a "Unit's Animation Index Browser" to determine the unit's animation index for that function "SetUnitAnimationByIndex". Hf!:D This is only made for human units but you can replace these units with undead or nightelf or orc units. More information in loading screen! ~Buster

What do you mean by call SetUnitAnimationByIndex ( unit whichUnit, integer AnimationIndex )

i put that exact code in and it gives me errors. do i have to replace something in that code? like "whichunit", do i replace that text with the units name? (i know little to nothing of jass)

i'm tryng to get a Peon to do a "Stand Hit" animation when he casts an ability. How would i phrase it exactly.. calling on the index and all and using that command above? here is what i came up with using what you've said..

Code:

PeonAnimation
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Leash 
    Actions
        Custom script:   call SetUnitAnimationByIndex ( unit whichUnit, integer AnimationIndex )
        Animation - Play (Casting unit)'s stand hit animation

that's exact copy of what i've tried.

i really need to learn how this works.

also, is it possible to call on these 'indexes" in the object editor for animation names for different abilities? because currenly it's limited without indexes.. can only do certain animations.

I assume this is used like:

call SetUnitAnimationByIndex (Peasant_0010, 5)
to play the fivth animation in that unit's list, but how does the syntax for the unit work? (I'm sure what I put in my example is wrong).

Brash, for that animation you don't even need this, this is for if you, say, want to play Stand -3 and not any other stand.

and i tried what you said and it works! thanks!

here's example of one that plays rare. they all work now!

Code:

CastSpell
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Raise Dead 
    Actions
        Custom script:   call SetUnitAnimationByIndex( GetSpellAbilityUnit(), 14 )

this is targeting a generic-caster-unit.

ONE MORE QUESTION! How do you loop this??
