Movement Cost and animation complain

[ced_ne]

Hi !

I've some problem with movement cost / movement animation speed...

Movement Cost must be an integer, so I couldn't set it to 1.5 in my campaign (for forest)...
So I've multiply by 2, both movement cost and movement point for each units... but in game, the movement animation is *very* slow and bored me...

How to deal with animation speed in WML ?

Thanks.

(Sorry about my bad english spoken)

You can't. The movement animation speed always correlates directly with the movement costs.

However, I find it a bit surprising that you find the speed that slow. Would using accelerated mode be an option (of course, it then also accelerates all other animations too, but you can still toggle it on and off temporarily by holding shift)?

Ah... too bad...

Thank you for answer me zookeeper.

this will probably change in 1.3 timeframe...

Simple solution - Multiply the animation speed by the number of moves that the unit has, and divide it by 5 (to keep it the same for normal units.)

Hello Elvish Pillager,
I don't understand, where can we multiply the animation speed ?
In the [movement_anim] tag ? (there is nothing about this in the wiki)
Or is there a general setup for movement speed ? ...

He was talking about how the game engine might calculate the movement speed for units.
