Since I don't know if this would fall under triggers, or data editor, I'll ask here... Yay!

During a few of the maps in the campaign and such, you'll see the units (like Zealots, Marines, Marauders, etc.) doing a sort of fanfare.
They'll raise their weapons up and fire or do some other form of cheering.
How is that done?

I think it's their victory or taunt animation. E.g. if you used to trigger to make a unit play it's Victory (or Taunt) animation, it might do that cheering thing.

Just for the information: you can also trigger this as a player on B.net: select a group of units and type "-cheer" or "-dance". :awesome:

I think there might actually be a global hotkey linked to making your units dance/cheer. It might only work once the "Score Screen/Return to Game" menu shows up.

I might just be thinking of RA2 though.

I'm not kidding. >_>

But anyways, if you look into Rock Arena's triggers, you'll find how to trigger it: at the very first marine's spawn and when marines jump, the guy runs the cheer animation.

Sorry for double post.

I found this: http://forums.sc2mapster.com/resources/tutorials/1888-data-dancing-sc2/#p1

Also, it is "/dance" and "/cheer". Sorry about misleading you with a hyphen. :/

Heh, y'know it's pretty funny when a lot of our help comes from linking to rival sites...

1) They ain't rival
2) They are a great source of knowledge
3) Unlike Sixen, I am not afraid to link to something relevant if it isn't part of my own community

Ultraviolet -- just sent you a message on Discord. I suspect you're probably trying to change unit speeds for units that don't use flingy.dat for movement (like any units that walk instead of hovering/flying). You can change their movement to flingy, but they unfortunately look more like they're gliding than walking when you do that.

Symmetry -- EE2, I've been using setdatfile successfully for units.dat and weapons.dat but the flingy changes don't seem to happen
[05:25 pm]
Ultraviolet -- in EE2 you just open DatEdit, go to the flingy tab, and make whatever changes you want. Though if you want to do dynamic shit, you have to use the trigger editor with the setdatfile action. And of course you have to inject your changes when done. Can give more specific troubleshooting advice if you provide more details
