Ability Configure or Maybe Another Spell Request

Hello guys I wanted to make the Bear Form ability can only be cast if there is another specific unit that is nearby by the Hero. For example the hero is the Footman and he had a Bear Form ability, then there is a rifleman which is the specific unit that is needed to be near to the footman so that the footman can now cast the Bear Form ability and will turn into a bear, the rifleman will then be gone when the footman cast the Bear Form ability. Now when the bear (which the footman turned into) cast the ''Night Elf Form'' ability he will return into a footman and the rifleman will return also. Note that the specific unit (rifleman) must belong to the same player of the Hero in order to cast the ability.

Is it k if you can cast it but you get the message "No ... unit is near" and it interrupts the cast?

Yes that would be great, so players will know why it an't be cast.

1. Make a new trigger.
Event: A unit is issued an order with no target
Conditions: (Issued order) equal to (Order(bearform))
Actions:
- Set TempBoolean = false
- Set TempUnit = Triggering Unit
- Set TempLocation = Position of TempUnit
- Custom Script: "set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true"
- Pick every unit in ... range of TempLocation
---- If
------- unit is alive and unittype is equal to ...
---- Then
------- Set TempBoolean = true
- If
---- TempBoolean is equal to false
- Then
---- Custom Script: "call IssueImmediateOrderDelayed(udg_TempUnit, "stop", 0)"
---- Set TempForce = (Player Group(Owner of TempUnit))
---- Cinematic - Clear the screen of text messages for TempForce
---- Game - Display to TempForce the text: "No ... unit is near."
---- Custom Script: "call DestroyForce(udg_TempForce)"
- Custom Script: "call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLocation)"

(You already have the Delayed Order Snippet in your map.)

Why not use the ability that combines gryphons and archers?

 

[Wietlol]

That is stated in a different thread... dunno where.
Anyway, that ability removes the 2 units and creates a new unit that is put in the ability data.
It works... until you want to use it for heroes.

^that

Because when used on heroes the two heroes died and the new hero spawns.

Yup that is correct, so every time you Mount and Dismount a hero will die and will be replace by another one. This hero dying heroes continues each time you used Mount and Dismount ability.

I'm aware of it working that way, but didn't know that you want this spell for a hero.
Well, the logical thing would be to use an automorph(a morph ability with normal and alternate form switched) to morph one unit, while hiding the other.

Try?
To remove the specific unit, you save the picked unit in the loop to a variable (just next to the "Set TempBoolean = true").
And you remove that unit in the else at the end of the trigger.
