[JASS] 3 things

[Shyhalu]

1. What does Text - Order String - Use/Turn On do?

2. Is it possible to change models without losing the statistics?

IE: I want to have my Geomancer shapeshift into a rock without losing his stats and everything, without having to custom code all the stats saving

Kind of like Stone Form for the gargoyles

3. Can anyone help start me off on a snipe like ability? I just need an arrow to fly in an arc, and deal X damage to the targeted area.

(Currently, I am using acid bomb with a small enough aoe to hit 1 target and deal damage, BUT it still uses the acid bomb buff and special effect for about a second on the target, I would like to get rid of those so it looks a bit less sloppy to players)

I can't quite start it, but I'm sure I could learn a lot and use the method for other abilities I need done.

It's the orderstring fired when the ability is used, or turned on in the case of toggleable abilities such as Immolation (Detected with A Unit Issued an Order).

Metamorphosis, etc?

You could always create a dummy which Attack Grounds the point.

1. Ok, I understand that

2. Its not timed, he can stay in as long as he wants, so that doesn't quite work as a perfect solution.

Was hoping to do something without a timer.

3. Thats a nice idea, I'll try it.

0 second duration = no timer (lasts forever).
