Spell Animations

Psyborg	I'm trying to stop the demon hunter model morphing when it casts an ultimate.. I figure it has something to do with the animation names, but I have tried a few to no avail.. Any thoughts? The spell is based off locust swarm.

Anitarf	Apparently, locust swarm has it hardcoded to use the alternate animations of a unit if it has them, and the demonhunter does. I don't think there's a way to get around this, except if you have a dummy unit cast the spell and transfer the life gain effect from the unit to the hero with the triggers.

Use the following trigger in your map:

Code:

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Locust Swarm
    Actions
        Animation - Remove the alternate animation tag to (Casting unit)

He will appear morphed for a short period before reverting. The period before this reversion is dependent on the DH's "Art - Animation - Cast Backswing" field setting (default 0.47seconds).
