I'm trying to make a Protoss building construct as it was a Terran building. I already have the construction attachment set up, only the Protoss building instantly spawns at the beginning of the construction, with the construction attachment clipping through.

The build ability is linked up with the Terran Construction progress actor. Any structure build with a Terran model works fine. I'm assuming that Protoss models do not have some animations that Terran models have, so therefore spawning instantly and doing nothing.

I would like that the building remains underground for 2/3 of the constructions (so the attachment is already somewhat constructed), and then it comes out of the ground and sits for the remaining 1/3. It would be similar to how a Terran building builds.

I've seen the exact result done in other maps, only I can't open them to see how it's done. I just don't know where to start looking.

The structure has the 'Build in Progress', Buildable ability.

However, I'm not so familiar with tricks in the data editor, I don't understand how I would go about doing what you suggested. I would like to find some more info on it.

I think a scaling version of the animation would do fine also, just not the instant completion.

And how would I go about detecting whether or not the construction is 2/3 of completion? Or maybe any other fraction.

Well I've been banging my head trying to get it to work, but couldn't get any event triggers from the progress level.

Maybe can you create a demo for me to look into?

Otherwise I'll post what I have in the near future.

Ah I seem to get something happening now. The target ::Main is what I was missing I suppose.

I also noticed that normal buildings will cycle through the colors normally, but the other building skips them all and goes straight to blue. I assume it depends on whether or not the building has the animation for each stage, of not, then skipping the stage.

So on my other progress actor I filled in a stand animation for each stage, and seems to be responding at the right time. Only I'm now getting an error/warning saying: Sequential looping animations detected: Stand; Stand. at every stage transition. I've tried alternating the stage animations with Stand-Default or Stand-Ignore, but they all give the same warning.

Any clue how I can fix this up?
