I need to give a certain unit type the model of the Dark Ritual - Target garphic, the problem is that it has no 'stand' animation, or any other animation tag so the effect doesn't stay and they have only a shadow.

I tried giving them a buff with that buffart but it still didn't work.

How can i do it?

Ability animations or for the purpose of abilitys, why would their creators, give them a stand animation?!

In answer to your question, did you say you wanted:

a unit to look like the dark ritual buff?

If so:

Unit - Model > select buff > dark ritual

I already said i tried that and it didn't work, the unit just had a shadow with no model.

Its probably not a repeating animation, like it only plays once. Try basing it off something not from buffs

Trigger.

Timed; every 1 second
pick every unit in playable area matching unit type (your dummy unit) and do:
special effect: play Dark Ritual on picked unit

the only thing i can think of is give the mall a null roar with the dark ritual garphic as casterart and have them recast it all the time.

I think thats what i'm going to do.

Use my idea instead. It'll work fine.

Of course, you can ask for a custom buff that has a stand animation, and import it.
