Help with Engineering Upgrade

[Razer!X]

Hello everyone. I've been playing with engineering upgrade lately. When I tried using it to a unit in metamorphosis, it won't work. I wanted to upgrade only one spell which has a melee cast range and has improved range when in metamorphosis. Any ideas on how to do this?

Does the Morphed unit also have the ability? If not then change it.

What ability? The base ability or the upgrade version of the skill?

 

[Death Adder]

Engineering upgrade (and also all other abilities of the original unit)

No what I meant is a unit with a melee cast range spell and with no engineering upgrade casts metamorphosis, he gains the engineering upgrade ability (actually not gaining the ability and also I know how to do this here) and the melee cast range spell from the original unit would then become ranged.

The abilities will bug if they are not based on the same ability. I usually use channel.

So he doesn't have engineering upgrade until he transform?

What do you mean by the same ability? The base ability ID should be the same as the upgrade ability ID? Well if yes then my abilities were the same.

Yes.

Does the transformed unit have both the original spell and the engineering upgrade? If he does then all I can think of is using triggers

For instance, if you replace storm bolt with critical strike, then critical strike will be castable. This is the kind of bug that can happen.

Oh no that's not the problem that I'm having. You see when I cast metamorphosis and then morph to the unit with the engineering upgrade, the base spell will vanish and no other spell replaces it. When the timer finishes the base spell won't reappear. I tried making it in triggers but I still can't find a solution to this. All I'm trying to do is when a unit is morphed to a certain unit the cast range will just improve and when the timer ends it returns to normal.

Like I said above I already tried triggers using everything I could think of doing it. But still no luck.

But does both the normal unit and the meta unit have the ability in the object manager?

This is what matters, or that call ability permanent with custom script/jass

I found a way to do it in triggers and it's almost as I wanted it to be. But there is still one problem. When the morph ends, the ability doesn't return to melee form. Does anyone know what's the problem with this trigger? And also I changed the metamorphosis ability to chemical rage

Edit: Nevermind. I figured it out.

So... What did you do? The least you could do is put the solution up on the thread, for those who come behind. : )
