[Virus-X]

Edit:I want to making an Advance Replace Unit like:
I using Spells throwing knife in map Afterlife
After then i change weapons to Uzi, throwing knife still cooldown and the buff blend still effect.

• Change to Bereta 9000S
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Uses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Hero manipulating item)) Not equal to Beretta 9000S
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Beretta 9000S
  • Actions
    • Set effect[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = pistol2.MDX
    • Set newHero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = Beretta 9000S
    • Custom script: set udg_Hero[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))] = ChangeUnit(GetManipulatingUnit(),udg_newHero[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))],udg_effect[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))])
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (|CFFC70000Your Teammate + (ColorStr[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] + ((Name of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) + ((|r|CFFC70000 + has equipped ) + (Name of (Item being manipulated))))))

This trigger change weapons i taking from map Afterlife for Xelephant , but non-effect on my map, cooldown has reset, skill level too.

You can use call UnitMakeAbilityPermanent(unit, true, ability) , I once used it for that specific purpose, it should save the cooldown between replacements.

Not sure about the level, but you can easily store it in an integer variable and set your abilities back to that level each time you replace units.

World Editor can not find a given name.

Check:
functionName - okay
argumentformat (types, amount ,order) - seems right.
Proably false variable naming
check NewUnit_u, Abilities_m in variable Editor.

 

[Chaosium]

I think you can't use a variable for the ability name, but the raw data.

Ctrl+D on the ability editor to see the raw values, it should look like something like A001, A00E, etc.

 

[Jampion]

It's 'A00N'. You need the ' signs to convert a raw code into an integer.

If you want to update an unit and keep things, you shouldn't use replace use a transformation spell. Replace will remove the old unit and create a new one.
While with a transformation spell like bearform the unitType gets switched and all permanent abilities remain. For a oneway transformation set the permanent flag or use the reversed bearform trick. When removing a transformation spell the unitType is set to the normal Unit Type of that transformation spell -> set the wanted unittype = normal UnitType + Add & Remove the transformation; your unit is morphed.
Edit: But you can't change primary stat that way.

 

[Tasyen]

Oh forgot something you also need to set alternative form to the current form.
This skill will transform "alternative" -> "normal Form".

There is also chaos to directly transform units, but there were some bugs in the past in regards to chaos.

Nevermind, I give up, I change my question to trigger Xelephant change weapons.
