Unit movement animation problem

[ZombieKnight]

Hey, I'd like to animate two units, switching their places, in standart time rate, (which is 200ms)
This code almost works, except the animator:add(u, "movement", "hit",{with_bars = false}) part takes 500ms (because some units do have longer animation, which is played over more tiles), resulting in the saurian visually teleporting back 2 times.
How to animate units changing places properly?

Code: Select all

animator:add(u, "pre_movement", "hit",{with_bars = false})
animator:add(u2, "pre_movement", "hit",{with_bars = false})
animator:run()
animator:clear()

animator:add(u, "movement", "hit",{with_bars = false})
animator:add(u2, "movement", "hit",{with_bars = false})
animator:run()
animator:clear()

local loc = u.loc
local loc2 = u2.loc
u:extract()
u2.loc = loc
u.loc = loc2
u:to_map()
wesnoth.wml_actions.redraw({clear_shroud=true})

animator:add(u, "post_movement", "hit",{with_bars = false})
animator:add(u2, "post_movement", "hit",{with_bars = false})
animator:run()
animator:clear()

Sadly, this is unsupported. Even #9487 wouldn't enable what you want. Maybe you can get the desired effect via some complicated workaround but I'm not sure how you'd go about that.

I don't see why resolving one unit weird movement animation, wouldn't resolve two unit animations? (The greatest feature of Lua animator is that it can animate more things at once)

I want to do lots of things with the synchronized move animation, like improved [move_units_fake] which currently looks terrible, moving one unit at a time for bigger numbers of units...
So perhaps it could be solved before 1.20, in a way it resolves both issue reported in by Ravana and the more complex form of the issue.
