Cast Ability when Unrooted

[doombringer]

I have a building that has the root ability (like the night elf buildings) and I want it so that it can use mana shield when unrooted, but at the moment it has the ability when rooted but not unrooted.

Could anyone help me with this?

U can Add/Remove abilities easily with triggers

somthing like
Event - unit starts effect
condition - ability id is Unroot/Root
event - Give/Remove Ability

this should help u.

Yeh I tried that but I dont know how to make the trigger tell if its unrooting and not rooting because they are both part of the same spell

Make sure the unrooted form has the ability in the object editor. I think it changes unit type when it unroots / roots.

Just give the rooted form the mana shield ability and when the unit casts root/unroot, order the unit to use mana shield. If it does not have mana shield, it can't cast it.

@Dr Super Good: You cant change the stats etc of the unrooted form as root/unroot does not swap between 2 different units but rather changes some of the caster's stats like movment and attack used.

@Zack1996: The thing is that when I unroot the mana shield ability is not there and I dont want the rooted version to have mana shield.

Are there any other abilities that I could use to get the same effect as root/unroot?

OFC, u would have to creat 2 units and modify them to your wishes

additionaly u would have to create a simultnus Root ability(in fact 2 would be better i think), to mimic the
effect and swap betwen the 2 units.

Simple Jass is exactly what u need, but its is very good doable in GUI.
