[Help] Morphing Problems

[magIc_seeKer]

Hi ! I am currently working on a new project (i want to keep it secret at this time) , and i got some morphing problems. I use the ability of Druid of the Talon's Storm Crow Morphing spell (morph into another unit, and whenever you want morph back).

I just replaced the alternative form unit with my own, and the normal form unit with my own again. Changed names, things like that. And then when i head in-game and try to test it...BOOM...Fatal Error

any idea how to fix it? cuz i looked on the tutorial page and couldn't find anything related to this problem

Does your model have the animation for the morph? The spell may be trying to play the units "morph" or "morph alternative" animation and if it is not present on the model it can crash. So change the animation use on the spell through object editor and try again.

Yeah, it happens with Crow Form: Reason unknown. Use the Night Elf Bear Form instead.

 

[magIc_seeKer]

the model has morph and morph alternative animations.

and when i click on the spell, bam crash.

btw, does the model play a important roll in the morphing phase? could it be from the model? (even if it has morphing and morphing alternative?)

=EDIT=

i tryed with bear form (from druid of the claw), now it doesn't crash, but it instantly kills my unit instead.

maybe coz the converted unit is not a hero 2 ?

 

[magIc_seeKer]

both are units. there is no hero.

At the first u must made 2 heros/units than you give the two units/heros the morph abillity
and fix the morph ability.You only must put the correct models in the slot and than it is finish

 

[magIc_seeKer]

uhm, no offence dude, but i know that. i allready did that.

Some units has a Morph animation. On all other units, it will mostly look like its just standing there, and then BAM. Shapechange. Some comps cant take that, and it causes crashes. Sometimes the shapechage doesent even work, and only the unit stats are changed. (Thats the usual thing)

I actually reccomend just taking metamorphosis and editing it. A unit version of metamorphosis is a much more secure way to make morphs, since there is no crashes, and the model change is ensured to happen.

 

[magIc_seeKer]

ok i will try with metamorphosis, hopefully it works

 

[Dragonson]

Atleast metamorphosis is a ability that is MADE to be modified. Atleast... more than the other shapechanges. =)

 

[magIc_seeKer]

nope, fatal error again . damn

PS: does any1 know the map called Uther's Party? If i remember right they had a mini-game where you need to morph into a crow/bear to escape from the abomination/gargoyle . Does any1 know how they made those morphing spells?

 

[Dragonson]

Fatal error AGAIN? Okay:
Possible Reasons:
The Model of Morphing/Morphed unit is bugged.
Your computer is bugged.
WE is bugged.
The unit stats on Morphin/Morphed screws it up.

Its the only reasons left i can think of... exept for something real starnage.

 

[magIc_seeKer]

nvm, i figured the bug out. it now morphes correctly.

ty for your help +rep
