Not Playing Alternate Animations

Kino · 03-13-2011, 09:31 AM

When you use a transformation ability the resulting unit will always play its alternate animation assuming it has one.
Is there a way to get it to use its normal stand animation?

Without testing, a few options pop into my head. You can pursue using a trigger to substitute the transformed unit for a new unit. You can use a trigger to force the unit to play its normal animation (although I believe you'd need to keep enforcing this) or you could modify the model to not having alternate animations and re-import it.

Use [ljass]AddUnitAnimationProperties(whichUnit, "alternate", false)[/jass] to remove the "alternate" animations from the unit. When you want them back, simply use [ljass]AddUnitAnimationProperties(whichUnit, "alternate", true)[/jass].

Doesnt work in this case.

As Panto said it seems that the model itself has to be edited for this to work.

Kino, have you tried setting unit's animation by index at the moment the metamorphosis is being casted?

Have you tried removing "alternateex" instead of/as well as "alternate"?

Nope, but the problem is solved already so nevermind :)

What was your ultimate solution?

Did a quick model edit :p

it's nice when your custom model needs to be edited, it's bad when you need a standard one edited and you strive for every kb.
