[QUESTION] "Leap" Animation

[nothawthorne]

It seems that all of the leaping spells have no animation, just a teleport. I'm working on a Dragoon, and teleporting feels really, really lame in comparison to jumping. Is there any type of fix for this?

[schlumpf]

manually play JumpStart, Hover, JumpEnd in a script.

I have no idea how to go about doing this.

Trinitycore ? Spellid please (I know it's custom).

70150 is the ID, and I'm using MaNGOS. 70150 is an existing spell, just one I would like to modify if the animation can work correctly.

[Ascathos]

On Trinity, it would be something like this. Note, just a rough draft and I am not even sure if this works.

Code: [Select]

// 70150 - Dragoon Spells
enum DragoonLeap
{
    SPELL_DRA_LEAP  = 70150,
    ANIM_JUMP_START = 27,
    ANIM_JUMP_END   = 29
};

class spell_dra_leap : public SpellScriptLoader
{
public:
    spell_dra_leap() : SpellScriptLoader("spell_dra_leap") { }

    class spell_dra_leap_SpellScript : public SpellScript
    {
        PrepareSpellScript(spell_dra_leap_SpellScript);

        void OnCastAnim()
        {
            Unit* caster = GetCaster();
            if (caster)
            {
                caster->SetHover(true);
                caster->HandleEmoteCommand(ANIM_JUMP_START);
            }

        }
       
        void OnHitAnim()
        {
            Unit* caster = GetCaster();
            if (caster)
            {
                caster->HandleEmoteCommand(ANIM_JUMP_END);
                caster->SetHover(false);
            }
        }

        void Register() override
        {
            OnCast += SpellCastFn(spell_dra_leap_SpellScript::OnCastAnim);
            OnHit  += SpellHitFn(spell_dra_leap_SpellScript::OnHitAnim);
        }
    };

    SpellScript* GetSpellScript() const override
    {
        return new spell_dra_leap_SpellScript();
    }
};
EDIT: And please don't forget to set spellscript for spell....

Any idea if this would work on mangos? and if so, where would I put it?

Trinity is based on MaNGOS. However, I never bothered looking further into MaNGOS code. Check emulator guides about how to implement scripts and test.

[nothawthorne]

I'm getting a plethora of undeclared identifier, not member, and class undefined errors with that script and I'm 95% sure I'm importing it correctly.

[schlumpf]

You may be "importing it correctly" (aka, copying the file). It still is a script for trinity, not mangos. Stuff is different there. Ask mangos people or find out the differences yourself. Or switch to trinity.

I'd have to look up the spellIDs, but there are definitely spells that use a proper leaping animation.  You could then modify the spells limitations and effects to make it more like a leap attack quite easily.  All done via spell.dbc (and its subsets); no coding required.
