SetUnitAnimation...

09-02-2007, 08:24 PM	#1
MaD[Lion]	when u play a unit animation by name, and play "Attack - 1" it plays randomly "Attack - 1" and "Attack - 2", but i want it to play "Attack - 1". So lets say if i use SetUnitAnimationById, then how do i know which Index is the "Attack - 1" ? Is there a way to find this out or do i just have to try all indexes...

Sure. You need to open the model (to whom the target animation belongs) as a .mdl in notepad. There you'll see something like:

Now you start counting. The animations are under "Sequences". The first animation has index=0 (here it is "Stand"), second has index=1 (here it is "Stand 2")... just find the desired animation.

Oh, and, to convert a model between mdx and mdl, you can use Magos Model Editor.

EDIT: It looks a bit better in notepad that in this post :)

if this animation exists in that model so... it's the "position" number of this animation (0 the first) convert for example into mdl and find it ^^ there are also some easier ways to do that. (MdlVis)
