Jase_Morden	Hey, I'm in the middle of making a cinematic and it gets to this part where a Demon Hunter is meant to do his jump-spin-attack animation (ie. Attack 2), I've set the trigger to 'Animation - Play Demon Hunter 0024 <gen>'s Attack 2 animation', but in the game, he might do it, or he might do the other one, it's really annoying, can somebody help me? -Jase

I have had the same problem and I can tell you is that you gotta live with it... :\ Maybe if you use the attack animation and then specify it as "rare", then it might do it.

Jase_Morden	But I've seen it done on TheGreatNoob's 'The Vision' cinematic, is it possible I could get somebody to change the model's animation name for me? And I tried the Animation - Play Unit Animation (Specify Rarity) trigger, doesn't make any difference.

Anitarf	There is a way to activate specific animations, it's a JASS function you call with a custom script. It's possible, but I can't tell you how, because I can't get to my "tutorials" file. I hope someone else can answer the question for you.

Yes, I've seen TheGreatNoob's 'The Vision' as well... I too wonder how he did this... :(

I've made a cinematic like his with the "matrix fighting style". It's called Reflection - If you want to watch it search for ChinShu at that Warcraft site ;)

Jase_Morden	Cool, I'll take a look at it, should I ask TGN how he did that in The Vision?

Are you sure that using the Play Animation (Specify Rarity) doesn't work? I've a hero using it perfectly.

It would be something like:

Play Attack Animation using only Rare.

EDIT:

Here is the trigger:

Code:

Penguin attacking animation
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is attacked
    Conditions
        (Attacking unit) Equal to (==) BattlePenguin
    Actions
        Animation - Play BattlePenguin's stand animation, using only Rare animations

Maybe the problem is that the hero has more than one rare animation?

Jase_Morden	Nup, tried it already, doesn't seem to obey my orders.
