Defend

How do you make such spell have a mana cost, a cooldown and possibly a duration?

or if its impossible, how can you switch the footman animations to be like if he was on "defend"?

Add animation tag "Defend" - note the capital.

Thanks.

Please, i have a few other questions:

on a triggered animation, how do you make it so it only use the first attack type?

i tried
but the footman still uses the other attk animation half the time..

Answer this and + rep for you =)

I think it's "attack first" or "attack 1" or something like that, not Attack - 1...

not working =(

The dash is a comment, so you're telling it to play 'Attack'. That's quite possibly why its playing the 'Attack' animations.
