Playing Specific Character Animations

So far my first cinematic is going along pretty well. I've solved most of my problems through lots of trial and error but no matter what I try I can't get my character to "play" or preform a certain animation. There are several "stand" type animations for the Arthas wielding frostmourne unit I want to make him preform the animation where he has two hands on his sword and looks like he's about to attack. I put in the trigger "Animation - Play Arthas (wielding frostmourne)'s stand using only common animations". Is there a way to define which stand animation I want to use? Thx in advance.

Also, how do I figure out which line of script an error is on? I saved my map and for instance it says "1 compile error: Line 341; expecting a variable"
Where is line 341? I don't have that many lines in the code....

Well, first of all, you're using the wrong trigger. You're s'posed to use "Animation - Play Unit Animation" Not "Animation - Play Unit Animation, Specify rarity"

When you have changed it right, then it should say
"Play Arthas (Wielding Frostmourne)'s Stand Ready Animation."

The thing you did wrong was that you didn't read the whole animations name! And that you choosed the wring trigger, since Arthas only has one Stand Ready animation.

thx guys it works now and that error seemed to have vanished as well, I'm beginning to think it was my PC cuz I went through everything and found nothing then the error wasn't there when I was working on it tonight.

I couldn't read the full animation tag cuz the side panel was too small cuz I needed that space for other things but thanks for pointing that out. I hope to put out some screens tonight or tomorrow of the first bit and hope to release the whole thing this weekend but I got a lot of work to do on it so we'll see.

Thx again.

btw if u are going to use the other stand animations from units, u shouldn't type something like "Stand -1" or "Stand 1".

You have to type in "Stand First"
