[General] Ancient Hero

How do I made a spell for the hero ancient(Like Ancient of Eternity), I want to make root and uproot spell, how do I do one. I have tried but it does not transform, xd

is this based of a Dota Hero? I'm guessing its an edited version of metamorphosis as Root spell wont work on Hero units (I think).

Ancient of Eternity is the Night Elf primary structure, not a DotA hero

Root/uproot will work only if you set "Stats - Is a building" to true in the object editor.

Well there was a tree type hero in DOTA last time I played it and the way he phrased "How do I made a spell for the hero ancient(Like Ancient of Eternity)" implied it was a specific hero unit.

The only undesirable quality about classifying your hero as a building as far as I can tell is you can only level your abilities up while rooted. Also, you can only add hero abilities when "Is a building" is set to false, but they'll stay even after you make them a building, you just won't be able to see the hero abilities in the object editor.

When you use reversible transform-based spell (Bear Form, Metamorphosis, etc), make sure that both of the transform unit is same unit-type

If it's a Hero-unit type, transform it to a Hero-unit type too
Vice-versa for Normal-unit type

It can cause bugs if you try to transform Hero->Unit->Hero->Unit
You will see that HP of your unit suddenly increase from one transform to another, total bug
