I was wondering how to change the animation so that when a hero uses a specific spell, they use a different animation. In Heroes, it's unclear how some spells are cast with one animation, while others are cast with a different animation. Question: How can I change the animation, for example, of the "Meteor Shower" spell for an Elf hero, to an alternative animation for that same Elf hero's spell? The question is about changing the animation only for a specific spell.

I don't quite understand what you want, but the xdb files, which contain the animation sets, recognize, as far as I understand, code words like cast, which triggers the animation of the hero casting the spell, and buff, which triggers the animation of the hero applying a buff to their army (they are different).
Let's say Meteor Shower is a cast spell.
And Mass Stone Skin is a buff spell.

As far as I understand, to change the animation of a spell, you need to change its parameter from buff to cast, or vice versa?

It depends on what you want to achieve; I still don't understand what they meant about the meteor shower.

There's a spell called Uber_meteor_shower. I found it using the editor, but I don't know if it's actually used in the game. It's displayed as a special spell, and its casting animation is different from the original Meteor Shower. I want to fix this.

Nope, I can't help you with that. I didn't even know about it.
