Title: animations for multiple people
Post by: ryguy on 09 Jul 2010, 02:51:30

Hi all, so I'm trying to make a large crowd of people all do the same animation but this is very hard when there are a ton of units. In the trigger I would have to name 30 people and then put in "unit1 playmove movename; unit2 playmove movename" etc...
Any easier way to do this? Thanks!

This is untested but make sure all the units are in the same group and then put the following code in the trigger:

Code: [Select]

{_x playMove movename} forEach units group groupname;

Change groupname to whatever name of the group is. If putting all the units in the same group doesnt work for you please advise.

Good luck!

Or, place a trigger covering the units, activated by whatever side they are (or anybody), and then place this code in the On Activation field:

Code: [Select]

{_x playMove movename} forEach thisList;
If you need it activated at a certain moment, just make the trigger condition something else than 'this' or 'true' :) If you want it activated in e.g. a script, just name the trigger (in the name field, not text!), and use this code in your script:

Code: [Select]

{_x playMove movename} forEach list triggerName;
Good luck!
