Help in noob spell (possibly object editor)

[creyzi4zb12]

Hello, I am trying to create a spell that when a unit casts a certain spell the unit will transform into a tent and cannot move but will still retain it's identity as a unit variable.
How do I do this?

TY in advanced to all who helped!!

Make a unit with the Tent model. When the ability is being cast, replace the casting unit with the Tent unit. Give him whatever abilities you want.

Will the unit still retain it's identitiy as a unit variable?
For example the footman is the one that's gonna become the tent:
There's a trigger that says:
Trigger 0: Map init, set variable = set (footman001) as (footman) / footman is the unit variable btw
Trigger 1: Every 0.05 seconds of game time, follow camera to (footman)

If the footman transforms to tent..will Trigger 1 still work? Or will the camera still focus on the tent every 0.05 seconds of game time?

tnx!! yay!!

Transform? What do you mean?
If you mean transform like a Demon Hunter's untimate ability - so yes, it will work.
But if you want to replace footman with triggers, you need to set the variable again in the trigger when you will replace him.

Yes...demon hunter's ultimate ability...I think that's what I'm referring to...but the tent must not move...I was thinking of the gargoyle stone form ability, but things seem to go wrong everytime I do so. The tent seems to move always.

It's object editor.
What problem do you have with this ability?
Just base it on other transform ability.
Look ability stats.
You can choose in what your unit will transform.
