I can't follow you.
Do you mean "forth" as in forwards, like WalkFrames?
Your second sentence makes no sense to me.
What has a "theme" (style, design, music theme) have to do with a building (which can't be spawned but only build). It makes even less sense to me since you were talking about a unit in the sentence before.

Just throwing in a key word that sounds similar
ActiveAnimFour
but that's for buildings, not units.

i think he trying to say that:

1.He needs Explosion animation.
2.He rememeber that ppmforums had a topic with unit spawning animation, like UnitDeliver from factories i think.

Dude use a google translator at least.

,,How make object from animation" maybe. So you want animation to spawn some unit?

You can only spawn infantry from an animation, it's not possible with units.

He wants that his unit has an explosion animation(which we know comes with units death) that will spawn new unit.

I think u'd better to seek cyborg commando c&c4 topic with code example. afaik there is one.

Buildings can be made to spawn other buildings once destroyed with Ares's rubble logic. But you can't spawn a building from an animation.

I presume you are trying to make unit husks/wrecks that can then be captured & reused?

Explose animate > fake building(free unit) .

Maybe to realize damaged/destroyed version unit . Destroyed like a hindrance and bomb place .

Not know , maybe via SW possible ?

So you wanna that your tank dies and then spawns another one tank?

U'd better to check ares documentation "Super Weapons" description and come up with something from there.
With some "dummy" things it is possible i think... Cuz i saw gif here where Naval Carrier spawn hornet which fires unit spawner which deploys into psychic dominator which goes selfdestuction by its own weapon...
crazy shit Very Happy

. So i think it is possible.

Tried making one using this method, but can't get the SW to fire (as per usual recently), otherwise I would think it should work.

SW.AITargeting=self is probably the problem as it makes it target the building that the SW is attached to.

I tried everything I can think of, changing AITargeting to Nuke or GeneticMutator, changing FireIntoShroud, giving it CivilianEnemy, etc. nothing fixes it.

Did you try NoTarget with Designators?

It just shows the cameo recharging over and over.

So there is no way to let a superweapon fires at its designators automatically.
