I'm trying to play unit animations. Do they work? No. What gives? I've succeeded few times, but most of the time, they won't work. I think I wrote them wrong...? I don't know. In default, it says: play unit's stand animation. So what do I do if i want to play,lets say footmans stand 2 animation?

The Problem Is A Stand Animation ( Or A Spell, Attack, ETC) Will Reset Itself After A While Automatically. When You Use The Stand Animation, It Goes Through A Random "Loop" As I Call It, and Shuts Off. It Does Not Revert To Another Stand Animation As "Hard-Wired" Into The Game. You Must Reset The Animations So Often...

Play unit animation - specify rarity, then use using only rare animations

It helped. Kinda. But it didn't do the animation i wanted. I wanted a footman captain to make stand - 2 animation, ( looking around ) istead it played stand - 4 animation. (put sword away, drink from a bottle) I succeeded to play the victory animation by selecting "value" option and writing victory in it. (i took it from the editors window where animations can be prewieved) Could someone write the action with the right settings?

Know that little preview window when you have selected a unit in WE? It shows the animations. You can browse trough them, and look at their names use those names :)

Its at the left, underneath the minimap

That's what i meant... It said "stand - 2", and i'm pretty sure that is what i wrote, but they aren't working.

Ahh. think not. cuz it's a mile long...:ggani:
Aarghh. this ain't working. I'll tell my problem in a simple way:

Action: play unit animation
Play [place unit name here]'s stand animation.

As you know, you can click the third word. i click it, and it gives three options: value, fuction, variable. so when you want to play another animation than stand, what do you do?

P.H.O.B.O.S
The correct word is stand - 2

This will look like this

Play footman stand - 2 animation
:D
