Removing animations?

Is there a way to prevent a model from playing certain animations when attached as a special effect? Preferably in a text file or something, I'm not very good with 3DS.

I think a model simply displays their stand animation when it exists as a special effect. When there's more than 1 stand, I think it always uses the first. If there's a particular animation you want to be playing when a unit exists as an effect, go into the mdl for that unit, and switch the name of the stand animation with the one *you* want there. It should be as easy as that. Oh, ps, this unit is now unusable in the game as a normal unit, of course, since its animations will look weird, so you'll need to make the altered model a separate file if you want to preserve the original.

Thanks alot, it's working. Though it does cycle through all stand animations, and not just stand1.

If you want to remove an animation outright, I think it may be sufficient to delete the animation from the top of the mdl file. If not, delete that *and* delete all references to index numbers within that animation from all other parts of the mdl file (so if an animation is 6000-10000, you have to delete any reference to bone emitter or helper rotation, scaling, translation, visibility, etc that uses any value between 6000 and 10000.)

the latter shouldn't be nessessary, i believe i have removed animations suffeciently just by deleting the sequence from the top of the .mdl.
