So I'm trying to add the hero incap ability to some other units.
The problem is that when the unit is incapacitated, it just stands there and doesn't play the death animation. I followed some examples I found in a previous thread but only managed to have units with incap decay and vanish.
I'd go to Actors, find the actor that is your unit's death animation, and add a "creation" event that fires when the Incap effect starts. Also: I'm probably not the best person to say this (I kinda just joined myself), but since this is your first post, welcome to Mapster!

This would look quite epic, though. Imagine a marine blasted away by a siegetank, his parts fly like everywhere and are lying around, saying "I'm fine, I just passed out. Will be ready soon." :D
On a serious note, this is a good way of doing it, just make the real unit invisible and create a new actor, which holds the death animation of the unit. Then freeze the animation somewhere in between, so the body is still visible. You should be able to do all of this using actor events.

Well, isn't that what he wanted? to play the death animation on incap? And yes, a marine's death anim from getting killed by a siege tank WOULD be getting blown apart.... unless you changed all the death type animations to the same thing, but I dunno if that's even possible.

Yes, I want them to play the death animation. It's just that I'm not familiar enough with the editor to do that.

What's the correct way of fixing this?
I'm still quite new at the editor so I don't really know how to do that.
I also tried following the steps here

Those don't seem to work for me.

I'm not sure how I do that.
