need help with Sendanimationevent() : V

» Thu Jun 21, 2012 5:52 am

Hi I am having trouble trying to use sendanimationevent to cast a spell.
The NPC seems to equip the spell but never casts it.
Nothing I seem to try works, has any one had any luck getting it to work during combat?

It appears he equips the spell with out having to use Debug.SendAnimationEvent(Self, "Magic_Equip")
Is there a condition I am not meeting? why is he not casting the spell when Debug.SendAnimationEvent(Self, "MRh_SpellSelfStart") is called?

Thanks

Have you tried using that in conjunction with the Cast spell function? I know that cast spell does not do the animation but maybe you need to do both?

I tried that at one stage, it did not work.
I think there is a condition that I do not know about that I need to get the animation to work cast the spell.
