well how should i explain it
it's like archer(unit)+hippogryph(unit)= hippogryph rider(unit)
i want to make it like that
but whenever i try to use it it always say "unable to find couple target"
i'm try to fuse a hero with a unit to became a hero
unit with unit to became unit it's still unable to find couple target

do i need a trigger..?
if so how..?
(sorry i'm newbie for trigger)

It works for me!
Make sure you create another ability based on "Pickup Archer" and give it to the other unit.

(In my example: unit "Footman" had the ability "Mount Horse", unit "Horse" had the ability "Pickup Footman" - they combined to a knight).

i didn't have luck, tried combining Warden (Mount Priestess, Resulting = Keeper OTG, Partner type = Warden) with Priestess (Pick Up Warden, Resulting = Keeper OTG, Partner type = Priestess) to become Keeper of the groove. The only thing worked is combining the same unit (Wisp + Wisp = Keeper OTG).

Did i do it wrong ?

this method is works but
when my hero(mount hyppogryph) use it to mount unit, it can't combine
on the other hand my unit(pick up archer) use it to pick hero, it can combine

is the problem in hero..?
btw i wanna remove the (pick up archer) from my unit so only my hero can use the combine ability
also btw when i remove it one of them(mount/pickup) it won't work the combine

That's kind-of what I said, and it seems logical to me.

when my hero(mount hyppogryph) use it to mount unit, it can't combine
on the other hand my unit(pick up archer) use it to pick hero, it can combine
Strange, this works both ways for me.
There are 2 bugs though:
- The hero dies when combining, so there's a death message.
- The icon of the hero doesn't go away (see previous reason).

btw i wanna remove the (pick up archer) from my unit so only my hero can use the combine ability
There's a trick for this. You can put "Pick up Archer" in a spell book and then disable that spell book.
You do need to edit the values of the spell for this to work, so I've attached a demo-map.

The demo-map gets rid of the death message by modifying a value in the object editor (look at the Paladin) and it gets rid of the dead icon by removing the Hero after combining.
