[General] Burrowed unit does not display abilitys

[[K40$]-Spectre]

Hi all,

anyone knows why a burrowed unit cannot display other abilities than (un)burrow, like Absorb Mana or Starfall? Can this be changed or do I need to use an other morph ability, like maybe the Druid of the Claw's Bear Form?

Ty for taking the time.

I think by simple observation a unit underground cannot cast a spell; if you want you could trigger it so that when the unit casts an ability, create a special effect, which then hides the instance when the unit is hidden. Tip, like this:

• Special Effect - Create SFX at SomePoint
• Unit - Hide Unit

Actually when using Burrowed ability, it is like Metamorphosis that transform it into the unit you put into the Object Editor. For example, the Burrow of the Crypt Fiend is set to transform caster into a Burrowed Crypt Fiend.


I suggest give the unit an ability that it is set to transform and there.

EDIT: Figured out that it cannot aattack or cast spell while in Underground. And this hardcoded. But how about try make a trigger that replaces the caster into a burrow unit. I think it will let it cast spell as it is not really under the Burrow's effect.

, ty I quess I should use Bear Form than with triggered Hide Unit (the dirt heap SFX is already in the model ).

, that does not work.
