Hello. I'm kinda new to mapmaking & triggering (about 1 month now 
) and I'm trying to make a trigger. I need to make spells which will "change" the user into an animal and then when the animal uses the ability it will come back to its original form. So this is I got it work so far: First I store the transforming abilities in an array and the form of each ability in another array (I have just put one for now). I also store a Rect which for some reason it won't work.
The second part: When the Shape_Form unit casts the ability "Shift Back" the original unit will come back to the Shape_Form's place with the normal owner and vulnerable. The Shape_Form unit will be removed. So this is the JASS part (I will put a comment on each line I have a problem)
I have used locals because if I use globals it won't work if multiple players shapeshift. Thanks in advance for any help given

Shape Forms

Events

Map initialization

Conditions

Actions
-
Set Shape_Rect = (Rect(9.00, 225.00, 13.00, 230.00)) //area,will eplain later
-
Set Shape_Count = 1 //how many spells there are
-
Set Shape_Abil[1] = Shapeshift (Wolf) //the spell
-
Set Shape_Form[1] = Dire Wolf // the form of each spell

JASS:

set abil_number = 0
set shape_unit = GetTriggerUnit()

set abil_number = GetForLoopIndexA()
else
call DoNothing( )
endif
exitwhen abil_number > 0
set bj_forLoopAIndex = bj_forLoopAIndex + 1
endloop
if abil_number > 0 then
call CreateNUnitsAtLocFacingLocBJ( 1, udg_Shape_Form[abil_number], GetOwningPlayer(shape_unit), GetUnitLoc(shape_unit), GetRandomLocInRect(GetPlayableMapRect()) )

loop
//this is the part I don't know what to add to check for ability until it
//gets the ability "Shift Back" (abilcode) casted by the shape_unit2
endloop //the part below hasn't been tested since I cant make the
//condition
call SetUnitPositionLoc(shape_unit, GetUnitLoc(shape_unit2) )
