I need to produce a spell where my unit can activate it, and gain chaos damage, and have it deavtivated to regain normal damage.
I can't seem to find any triggers in the gui that can help me.
I tried using the demon hunter metamorph as a base, but for some reason my unit just dies when I activate it.
Anybody got some ideas that can help me?

Why use trigers, use the metamorphosis spell and copy your casting unit in the object editor then just change the damage type of the copied version to chaos and add a sufix(example Chaos) so you can know which one has chaos damage then just make that there is 1 cooldown on the spell and 0 duration.
Don't forget to change the metamorphosis basic and alternate unit forms.

Yeah, seems like the obvious answer, I just got a problem with my unit dying uppon cast.

Would really be best if I could do this with triggers or without morphing, since those spells apparently ruin spellbook abillities

Replace it by triggers instead of using the metamorphosis?

I tried making the unit has 2 attack types and then gave the unit an advanced upgrade which switches between the two types but the problem is you can't degrade upgrades.
So try bear form, or i think that the World Editor Unlimited has an damage type changing function.

i think by changing forms (bear/crow) would change att types but than you need 2 different char with just the attack change

Use the root ability, and have attack 1 have normal damage and attack 2 hava chaos damage.

Edit: I dont think I explained myself, have 3 types of root ablitys and 1 disabled spellbook abililty. Add the first abliity to the disabled spellbook, the seconed make it use the Attack number 1 and the third root use the attack number 2. then, when you want to change the damage type from normal to chaos, add the seconed root ability to the unit, make it uproot, and then remove that ability. If you want to change the attack back to normal, do the same thing, exept with the third root ablity.
