Need animation names for trigger...

I did a search last night but didnt find what i was looking for so thought id check here. How do I go about finding the exact animation string name for a units animation? Like, well last night i wanted to use a trigger to play the blademasters stand-4 animation (where he raises his sword up and it has the white gleam flash by the blade). I tried every combo I could think of , "stand 4", "stand-4", "stand - 4", a contacinated string of "stand" and "4". ALso substituted four in place of 4 in all those attempts and still didnt work. Is there any way to check and find out exactly what the text string is for a units animation? Thats all i want to know. ATM, I want to know the string for the blademasters stand 4 animation, as well as the bloodelfworker attack lumber (where he attacks holding a bundle of lumber).

All in all it would be best if I could either 1) find a way to get the string name, or 2) find a file that maybe has them all listed. Anybody?..

afaik, you could extract the MDL model file and open it up in a text viewer like notepad and scroll through the list until you find the name of the animation you are looking for. Once you find it you could cut and paste the animation name.

Won't work, this is on the known but not listed list of bugs. What you have to do is extract the .mdl and change the animation name in there to something like "whatever" or else it doesn't work. Don't ask me why, but that is what I have been told.
