No animations

[proven raptor]

Hello, everyone. Some models in my custom game, such as models for Largo, "dire_tower_2021.vmdl", and most other models for towers, for some reason always remain in a bind pose, regardless of which unit I assign them to and which gesture I use via Lua. Does anyone know what can be done about this?

}

DOTA_UNIT_CAP_MOVE_NONE change to ground that might problem
and for dire_tower_2021 animations name are different then normal model and you maybe need animate it manually

[pastel ice]

I tried this, but didn't see any changes for either model. However, if I set another model, for example models/creeps/neutral_creeps/n_creep_troll_skeleton/n_creep_skeleton_melee.vmdl, the animations will play even with DOTA_UNIT_CAP_MOVE_NONE

And this is mainly with towers. Their models don't need to be precached in any special way, do they?

[reef plank]

check animation block in modeldoc for neutral and tower and you can see difference, up dont need something more for tower model

[trim oar]

the issue is likely that you need an activity translation like "melee"

^look up modeldoc to see what is missing

i assume largo for example has smth like "strumming" and "idle" to decide what type od walk animation to use, and if you don't pass one it defaults to bindpose
