Change unit model?

[The_wand_mirror]

Is it possible to ingame change the unit model?

Like first the unit has no model but when u step into a circle the model changes to the model you picked..

You could swap units with a trigger and maitain the old unit's life and mana with the trigger Unit - Replace.

Unit - Replace ("your old unit") with a "new unit" using The old unit's relative life and mana

However, this action is not really that good, and I wouldn't use it if its not needed.

I think this is to much work i should then create for every model a unit ( hero in this case ) and i have over 30 models to be replaced or something..

Remember:
If you replace a unit, all triggers that envolves it will no longer work.
You will need to update your triggers each time you want to replace your unit

Yeah i know about the triggers i will use variables offcourse,but anyone knows how to change the model of a unit without replacing it??

 

[Mini-Me]

There is no other way. Replacing the unit or creating a new unit are your choises.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Well then i will replace it,theres no other way...

Damn cant they add a trigger to WEU to

Unit - Change unit icon
Unit - Change unit model

And my second questian is this

'Can i SET the primary ability of an hero'?

I dont think u can do dat...im guessing u are either making a create-ur-own-hero map or trying to duplicate morphling. Anyways u cant do dat using triggers, ur best bet for a fully customisable hero is 3 heroes for one model (str,agi,int) and using replacement method. but dat would take a hell lot of time.
