[Trigger] Dragon morphing with a potion

[stan0033]

Hi forum I try to make a potion, when drinked to morph you to a dragon for 15 seconds. Can you check this and tell me what I can change in it so it work for morphing back?

Using Potion

• PotionSkies
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Uses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Potion of the Skies
  • Actions
    • Unit - Replace (Triggering unit) with a Red Dragon using The new unit's max life and mana
    • Wait 30.00 seconds
    • Unit - Replace (Triggering unit) with a dragonunittypes[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] using The new unit's max life and mana

define the unit-types

• dragon types
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 60.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set dragonunittypes[(Player number of (Owner of Paladin))] = Paladin
    • Set dragonunittypes[(Player number of (Owner of Archmage))] = Archmage
    • Set dragonunittypes[(Player number of (Owner of Mountain_King))] = Mountain King
    • Set dragonunittypes[(Player number of (Owner of Blood_Mage))] = Blood Mage
    • Set dragonunittypes[(Player number of (Owner of Wizard))] = Wizard
    • Set dragonunittypes[(Player number of (Owner of Ranger))] = Ranger
    • Set dragonunittypes[(Player number of (Owner of Blademaster))] = Blademaster
    • Set dragonunittypes[(Player number of (Owner of Tauren_Chieftain))] = Tauren Chieftain
    • Set dragonunittypes[(Player number of (Owner of Shadow_Hunter))] = Shadow Hunter
    • Set dragonunittypes[(Player number of (Owner of Brewmaster))] = Brewmaster
    • Set dragonunittypes[(Player number of (Owner of Far_Seer))] = Far Seer
    • Set dragonunittypes[(Player number of (Owner of Beastmaster))] = Beastmaster

If this was for normal units, it would be fine, however for heroes this brings a lot of problems - hero loses all items, experience, etc.

I would do it simply - when unit drinks potion, change it to neutral passive and hide it via "Unit - Hide unit".
When dragon dies/disappears, unhide hidden hero and change it back to its original owner.

You mean this?

• PotionSkies
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Uses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Potion of the Skies
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Red Dragon for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees
    • Selection - Select (Last created unit) for (Owner of (Triggering unit))
    • Set Dragon[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Change ownership of (Triggering unit) to Neutral Passive and Change color
    • Unit - Hide (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Follow (Last created unit)
    • Wait 30.00 seconds
    • Unit - Change ownership of (Triggering unit) to (Owner of Dragon[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]) and Change color
    • Unit - Unhide (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Remove Dragon[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] from the game
    • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to (Percentage life of Dragon[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))])%
    • Set Dragon[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = No unit
    • Selection - Clear selection for (Owner of (Triggering unit))
    • Selection - Select (Triggering unit) for (Owner of (Triggering unit))

yeah, very simple...

Try using one of the morph abilities such as demon form, avatar or and those crow / bear form ones. These change unit type while retaining most of the heroes properties.

You forget that they require specific unit to morph back...

I liked Nichulus's idea and the final trigger is this:

morphing

• PotionSkies
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Uses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Potion of the Skies
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Red Dragon for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees
    • Selection - Select (Last created unit) for (Owner of (Triggering unit))
    • Set Dragon[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Hide (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Follow (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Set (Triggering unit) acquisition range to 0.00
    • Custom script: call UnitAddAbility(GetTriggerUnit(), 'Aloc')
    • Unit - Order Dummy Rooter 0044 <gen> to Neutral Dark Ranger - Silence (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Wait 30.00 seconds
    • Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility(GetTriggerUnit(), 'Aloc')
    • Unit - Set (Triggering unit) acquisition range to (Default acquisition range of (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Unhide (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to (Percentage life of Dragon[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))])%
    • Unit - Remove Dragon[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] from the game
    • Set Dragon[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = No unit
    • Selection - Clear selection for (Owner of (Triggering unit))
    • Selection - Select (Triggering unit) for (Owner of (Triggering unit))

The 30 seconds wait is inaccurate due to poor TriggerSleepAction mechanics in WC3.
