[Solved] Abilities disappear when metamorphisis

[SnowYell]

Hero A has 5 abilities (max added in object editor) and gain 1 additional ability (Ability F) through triggers at max level.

One of the 5 abilities is Metamorphisis, which when used transforms Hero A to Hero B.

Hero B has the same initial 5 abilities through object editor, but doesn't get to keep Ability F from Hero A.

When Metamorphisis ends and it turns to Hero A yet again, Ability F is nowhere to be found.

How do I prevent this?

How to make given ability permanent, so that it does not vanish once a unit morphs?

UnitMakeAbilityPermanent

The spell section demands an ability that will stay permanent even after morphing. So how can I use this function to make an ability permanent to all units on the map? where should I put this, in initialization? native UnitMakeAbilityPermanent takes unit whichUnit, boolean permanent, integer...

Thanks, but I have never used custom scripts. This isn't right, how do I do this? Ability F is based off of Berserk.

One of these two should work:

• Set Variable MyAbility = Berserk
• Custom script: call UnitMakeAbilityPermanent( udg_Hero[udg_Integer_Roll], true, udg_MyAbility )

• Custom script: call UnitMakeAbilityPermanent( udg_Hero[udg_Integer_Roll], true, 'Absk' )

You have to prefix all global variables with udg_ and I believe rawcodes need semi quotes.

Tried the first one, it crashes.

For each (Integer Integer_Roll) from 1 to PlayerCount, do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Unit-type of Hero[Integer_Roll]) Equal to Demon Hunter
            Then - Actions
                Unit - Add Demon Hunter F to Hero[Integer_Roll]
                Set VariableSet Ability = (Unit: Hero[Integer]'s Ability with Ability Code: Demon Hunter F)
                Custom script:   call UnitMakeAbilityPermanent( udg_Hero[udg_Integer_Roll], true, udg_Demon Hunter F)
            Else - Actions

The second one didn't crash this time with the 'Absk', but it still lost the ability.

This is incorrect:

udg_Demon Hunter F

You don't have a variable named Demon Hunter F, nor could you since it has spaces in it's name.

You would reference your Ability variable like this:

• Set Variable Ability = Demon Hunter F
• Custom script: call UnitMakeAbilityPermanent( udg_Hero[udg_Integer_Roll], true, udg_Ability )

And your variable that is named Ability is using the wrong variable type. It's supposed to be an Ability Code variable.

Side note: When referencing rawcodes, make sure that you're using the correct one. You said the ability is based on Berserk, but is it a copy of it? If it's a copy it'll have a different rawcode.

Thank you - now it works. And thank you for your detail and patience
