Could you post a picture or something. There might be a mismatch due to the spell cast time difference or another model for the finish.

[selafane]

yea sure, give me a few mins

[selafane]

ok

this is what its suppose to do at the end of animation




and instead of doing that, it just stays at this animation and stops when the heal is over

[*ChAoS*]

You didn't show the end of the cast in picture 2. Does it finish as flash of light and you want it to finish as Healing Wave, because that might be tricky?

[selafane]

lol, thats how it ends in picture 2


thats all it does


after the spell is over, he just puts his hands down

no awesome finish

[*ChAoS*]

Oh I get it. You could manually change that animation if you found it in the Model Viewer. I'm might use 2 animations. I'm just not sure. All the spell edits I've used only use one, but Blizzard may have put it at 2 because its the same animation as some of the other finishes. I would take a look for it in the model viewer.

[selafane]

hmmmmm alright i will


i do know off the top of my head

that everyone does seem to have a different spell animation for heals

....you know now that i think of it, cows were nvr made to have a holy light or flash of light animation cause they cant be pallies or priests

that might be why no?

im checking the model viewer now

[*ChAoS*]

Ya, I haven't played around with spell edits that much. I was working on my Stealth Bomber. I can try it out later this week if you still need help. Maybe somebody like The_Lex can come too and help you.

[selafane]

only if you dont mind bro

I would like to get this to work cause if i can it means i have learned something and then i will feel smart haha

ill be playing around with it


could be that I have to do animation swap which I dont know how to do either lol




I wish there was a guide that had explained all the basics of all the top programs to use. so us new guys can learn the fundamentals of things..im so lost in almost ever program......i try to learn something in one guide and there ends up being something else i need to learn in order to do the thing i want lol

thanks for ur help man +rep b/c ur nice and helped

[*ChAoS*]

Wait, did you say that you were using Glitchy's MES?

[selafane]

well b4 i was trying to use MWCS and wow model viewer , but i couldn't see a way it could be done in there


then i tried Glitchy's model suite however, but doesn't that only swaps spells that ur character uses like for ex. it would switch MY lighting bolt animation to MY healing wave not to a different characters animation

or am i completely wrong lol

[*ChAoS*]

No, you can do to other characters animations. I did shadow bolt -> frost bolt on my warlock. Try it that way and tell me if it works. You can find the spell ids on thottbot or Alakazham. Its pretty straight forward. Let me know if you need any more help.

[selafane]

oh, im sry, i thought u meant the animation tool


my bad

i did use Glitchy's for the spell swap

sry should of said that in the first place

Oh ok, ya then I'll go back to what I originally said. Hopefully someone else can help you, but I can help you later this week. I just have to get some work done tonight.

Good luck!
