[HELP] Bearform combine with Mount/Unmount

[Striker21]

Yep, Could it be?
What i mean is: can i make a unit while activated the bearform ability to mount another unit and comes to another unit type change? It's quite nervous if there's some bugs around or causing map to trashed etc..
Anyone know about it, please help me out
thanks

impossible you cant reach that data from the triggering editor

 

[Striker21]

When i first post this thread i was meaning that the hero is mounting via ability usage.
I tried it out and it kills the hero upon mounting
Should it be some triggering there, since Founders of the North did that nicely

 

[Chaosy]

thought it was a coded ability, anyways I don't know what you want to do then simply change the bearform to footman form?

 

[Striker21]

Nope, i was trying to make a hero to mount a regular unit (horse)
Mounted hero will has its own advantages and disadvantages etc...
Thought this is the most simple way, guess i was wrong

Ive tested it. When you mount the unit is killed so you better save his levels, abilities learned and so on to some variables and remove it from the game. When you dismount you retrieve them.
Ive done Potm + hippo = demon hunter and added to demon hunter the dismount ability, when i dismounted the game created NEW Potm(Priestress of the moon) and hippogryph.

I've worked it out with triggering. BUT, my only problem here is i'm going to use some custom learning abilities (buying abilities from shops). How could i save them and ... add them back on?
Or i should save the number of items (skills) they've bought and give them back those number of items so they're back on?
Please give some suggestions

For the test map, please let me know if this would work the way i wanted (triggering way)
I used 2 triggers for it (excluding dismount):

• mount
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Mount Horse
  • Actions
    • Set General_Units[2] = (Triggering unit)
    • Set Mount_ID = (Custom value of General_Units[2])
    • Set Horse_Group = (Units owned by (Owner of (Triggering unit)) of type Adult Horse)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Horse_Group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set General_Units[3] = (Picked unit)
        • Unit - Set the custom value of General_Units[3] to Mount_ID
        • Unit - Order General_Units[3] to Orc Shaman - Purge General_Units[2]
    • Memory Leak - Destroy Horse_Group

And Pick up:

• pick up
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Pick up hero
    • (Unit-type of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Equal to Knight
  • Actions
    • Set General_Units[4] = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set Mount_ID = (Custom value of General_Units[4])
    • Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
    • Unit - Replace General_Units[4] with a Knight (Mounted) using The old unit's relative life and mana
    • Unit - Set the custom value of (Last created unit) to Mount_ID

They seems to work well. But as i said in the reply above, how should i solve the ability problem in going back (dismount)
Purge here is an target ability which is added to the horse to make him run to the hero ^^!
