Siphonized	I want to use my units "Attack 2" effect... How do I add that as an animation name? Just "attack2" ?

Panto	Actually, it's basically impossible to play a particular animation on a unit without using a trigger to force it. I'll direct your thread that way.

Siphonized	it's impossible to do it on an ability? strange, cause I recall being able to use Slam when casting a spell on the Grom Hellscream model.

bounty_hunter2	on ability yes but not on attack when using ability you must name the animation name same as the animation spell slam attack work etc

Siphonized	yes, that's what I am talking about... I want to use my models 2nd attack animation... It's called "Attack - 2", and the unit is Abomination. How do I use it in my ability?

Jacek	Either use animation index or add "2" animation tag by triggers should work. and Panto, try adding alternate as additional animation name to demon hunter and w00t Metamorphosis without triggers

Attack - 2

This won't work. I've done a little research on this a few days, as I wanted to do the same thing.

The only thing you can do is "Attack". However, it'll loop back and forth through his 1st and 2nd attack animations randomly.

Thunder_Eye	use the jass function that plays animation by index then

MysticGeneral	It's "SetUnitAnimationByIndex"

iNfraNe	JASS: native SetUnitAnimationByIndex takes unit whichUnit, integer whichAnimation returns nothing To know how to find animation indexes check out the cinematic tricks sticky in the cinematics forum. edit: mystic is faster ...

MysticGeneral	But you're more descriptive :) Anyways, if you're a little lost (as I can see why) then here's a bit more info: Make a trigger when the unit casts the ability. Make sure to put in the correct conditions and events. In the action, it should look like Trigger: Custom Script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(yourUnit, theAnimationsInteger)

If i copy paste thiw script itt will work? And what format should I use?
Like: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(Slayer 0003 <gen>,Attack 2)
