Change Hero's Weapon/Armor Type in game threw triggers?

[Zero]

Can this be done?

For instance, on my map it goes:

Melee gets an extra damage bonus against Ranged.
Ranged gets an extra damage bonus against Magic.
Magic gets an extra damage bonus against Melee.

Well, I have a dueling area in my map and I was thinking if there was a way to do this it would balance the duel better.

If it could be done I would change both Hero's armor/weapon type to hero so they do no extra dmg to any type.

Is this possible?

You cant detect magic "attack type", but you can detect if the attacker or the attacking is a ranged or melee unit.

Advanced --> Gameplay Constants.

I know gameplay constants has where u can change the type for instance what damage type does extra/less to X.

I already have this setup.

What I am asking is. AFTER all of the gameplay constants and everything has been set in the editor. CAN you change the type that the hero has IN game.

For example: Hero 1 has piercing weapon type and meduim armor. Now, can this be changed with triggers to be made hero weapon/armor type while in certain region on map?

Not with a trigger but with un-revertable upgrades.

you can mess around with metamorphosis.

What do u mean? Like in arena upgrade player's weapon to Upgrade X which deal Hero?

Then when leave switch back to whatever it was?

Can u switch back and forth?

Can u switch back and forth?

No, that's why redscores said "un-revertable upgrades". You can't delevel upgrades.

Well that doesn't work then. There's gotta be a way to do it...

 

[redscores]

There's is a way, but hes quite buggy, using chaos, but i dunno how that works.
