I need help with animation in general

Ok, first off, sorry. I KNOW this has already got to be somewhere on the site in the forum, but I COULD NOT FIND IT.

Here's my question:

In a cinematic, a person appears before another person. I want to know if it is possible to, and if so, choose the different animations for spells and simply play them at a select area. So the person would be walking along, you could play the Level Up animation or something, and then that person would appear next to the first one.

I don't fully understand what you're talking about, but from what I can make out I think you're looking for the "Animation - Play animation at point"-action.

Yeah sorry now that I read that again it's pretty confusing. I know that trigger, but what I was wondering was how to find a list of the animation names. Could you go into the unit editor and somewhere pull up one of the lists of those spells, and then copy and paste that file name?

Select a unit in the unit-pallete, it will appear in a previewer on the left, then you can press the arrow buttons to cycle his animations.

For level-up animation, that's just a special effect that you create with triggers.

Thanks. How would you create it?

Something like:

Special Effect - Create A Special Effect On a Unit/Targetting A Point

or sumtin like this, you'll find it if you look through the action list.

Hmmm, lets see, Im pretty sure that it is a Special Effect trigger vs a Animation trigger. It's
Special Effect- Create Special effect at (POINT)
Pretty sure...

Ok I think I've got it, thanks.
