i would like to point it was only 3 hours since you posted this first post and so i advise to be patient. some posts may take about 24 hours + to get reasponded to as not EVERYONE can get on EVERY day. also not anyone that does come on can answer these questions. Maybe you arent describing your other posts well enough? maybe that is a reason. some questions just cant ever be answered...

by the way i believe to change a unit (or herooes) armor is a reasearchable upgrade. called change armor i believe... it uh i think the burrow's and watch tower's fortified armor upgrade as the base form im sure.. not asure if it changes to fortified armor only or any other types. to remove a herooes ability its a trigger. i dont have time (or the mind to) search for this but it could be in the unit's category. (or spells/abilities) if there is one. Look in the herooes category if it isnt in any of the others.

this is a very wasteful post sortof but w/e ill say it. this should probably be held for ''last hope'' plans for removing hero ability.. so here it goes: use a 'replace unit' trigger. of course this meens you have to make another (or multiple) copies of the same hero but without that one ability. the hero will keep its level and stats witha ''replace'' trigger. i also believe there is a trigger that works like in the roc and tft scenarios that disbles a certain ability for that game/map ex such as scout bird for tyrande the potm. its should be in scenario or something and says disable a herooes ability. though i believe this works ONLY for current hero abilityes and not some you make yourself from creep or base unit spells. it will work witha modified chain ligtning you made yourself i meen but a spell like 'slow' from sorceseress you changed into a hero wont work im sure. of course i could be wrong so id say you should see it yourself. good luck by the way :D

i myself have thought about the armor problem for quite some tim now. and i found a solution, even though it's not that smooth, i think it's the easiest possbile without the massvie use of hardcode jass

//do this for every hero
create a copy of him (including all hero abilities, etc)
switch the armortype of each copy so that there is one hero for each armortype

//do this for each armortype and hero
create an ability that allows you to morph from a hero (e.g. 'normal' armor) to every other armortype and from every other type to this one

now you can add the morph ability (i would suggest bearform with 'permanent') to the hero, order it to morph and volá you got the armortype you want.
if the current type isn't the one of your 'normal'-hero than morph to the normal hero and then morph on to the armortype you want.

i know this is quite some work doing so many heroes and abilities for each hero you want to ahve, but unless you have found a way to edit _all_ atributes of any given object - thats the only way i can think of right now.


hope it shows you the way of doing ot - i would love seeing it done (even though i'll not do it that way if i have more than one or maybe two herotype/s...)
