Once I realized I was missing some of the file path, a lot of different methods started working.
AnimationPermOpen is the effect I was going for, but I had no control over the animation speed (way too fast). Using the megalith method had it unfold nicely, but then fold back up (ugh)
I ended up using an altered version of the Aeon strat launcher and now it works beautifully

you can also try to call it AnimationPermOpen since that is a special blueprint thing for animations after being built. (justgpgthings)
that way you dont need to have it in script to have it deploy.
you may need to have a specific unit class though, so theres a chance it wont work.

for an example we have the aeon sam bp, with an empty unit script:
AnimationPermOpen = '/units/UAB2304/UAB2304_Aopen.sca',

No, i did not make Total mayhem.

These are the guys who made it:

Author: Burnie222
Models: OrangeKnight, Brandon
Sounds: adamstrange
Coding: Domino

I just asked Burnie222 for permission to update and maintenance the mod, and he agreed.
While reworking the mod i fixed many things. Changelog is over 1300 lines long

Can't wait to see your first seraphim units hehe

It does work! Yay! And thanks!

You made total mayhem
I'd love to be a part of it, I do have ideas for seraphim stuff and I intend to start working on them once I get my scripting abilities up to par - and to do that, I'm right now making a mod pack to increase faction diversity. I'll post when I get a decent enough unit list

I hope it will work then

Btw, i like the unit. Looks great!
If you are building some Seraphim units like pointdefense or mobile units, tell me.
I could use some units for Total Mayhem, to make Seraphim more attractive

The script itself is correct.

Maybe a wrong entry inside the blueprint ?
You are calling the animation from "Display.AnimationActivate"

Is there a line like this inside the display array with full mod folder path ?

Code:: AnimationActivate = '/mods/YOURMODNAME/units/xxx0000/xxx0000_AActivate.sca',

Activate Animations

2016-10-17T02:53:57+02:00

Hi Guys,
I'm having issues with the scripting of an activation animation (.sca already made):

Spoiler: show

I'm trying to take from the megalith code, but no animation occurs, and I don't get an error ?

Code:: OnStartBeingBuilt = function(self, builder, layer) CStructureUnit.OnStartBeingBuilt(self, builder, layer) if not self.AnimationManipulator then self.AnimationManipulator = CreateAnimator(self) self.Trash:Add(self.AnimationManipulator) end self.AnimationManipulator:PlayAnim(self:GetBlueprint().Display.AnimationActivate, false):SetRate(0) end, OnStopBeingBuilt = function(self,builder,layer) CStructureUnit.OnStopBeingBuilt(self,builder,layer) if self.AnimationManipulator then self:SetUnSelectable(true) self.AnimationManipulator:SetRate(1) self:ForkThread(function() WaitSeconds(self.AnimationManipulator:GetAnimationDuration()*self.AnimationManipulator:GetRate()) self:SetUnSelectable(false) self.AnimationManipulator:Destroy() end) end end,

Please help!
