[Spell] How to merge a building with a unit?

[Groum]

I want to merge one unit with one building into one unit. I tried to use Mount Hippogryph/Pick Up Archer, but it doesn't work. What should I do?

Why don't you just try to burrow them inside? ( lik peons go into orc burrows )

 

[Bannar]

The best way here would be triggering the spell.
When both click merge order them to move to each other. Then hide them and create your morph form, start timer with given expiration, if it expires unhide units again and remove ultimate form.

I want to use only one unit, not four. Is it possible to make burrow with only one slot inside? Also, I want this combined unit to move, so i dunno if burrowing will work?

When both click merge order them to move to each other.

Can I order building (or just immovable unit) to move? I was thinking about triggering this ability, but I'm not very good at it, could you show how to do it?

Yes, you can. Just change the Cargo value of the Cargo ability (you need this for the Burrow ability to work).

Does hiding unit into 'burrow like building' satisfy you? Im not sure, but what excatly you want your spell to do?

Thanks a lot

Not exactly.
Well, I've got a modified Rifleman and a Scout Tower modified to an "armor" (just a Battle Golem model and some changed stats). I want Rifleman to put on this armor (/merge with it) and become a totally different melee unit.

Lets say Merging is an ability.
Lets say rifleman should be able to merge with something. Give him this ability.
Now back to trigers:

• Merge
  • Events
    • Unit - Unit starts the effect of the ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Merge
  • Actions
    • If (All conditions are true) then do (Then actions) else do (Else actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Unit type of ((Target of ability being cast) Equal to Scout Tower)
      • Then - Actions
        • Set unitTypeVariable = Golem
        • Set temp_point = (Position of (Triggering unit)
        • Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
        • Unit - Remove (Target of ability being cast) from the game
        • Unit - Create 1 unitTypeVariable for Owner of (Triggering unit) at temp_point facing Devault building facing degress
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_temp_point)
      • Else - Actions

Lets say your Merge has melee cast range.
Lets aay it can be like this. Lets ask now, does it satisfy you?

Sorry, I'm trying to do this, but I have another problem. I can't make this Merging ability right - I've tried to base it on Ensnare, Rejuvenation, Repair and several different abilities, but it always has problems with casting on a building. I even changed "Is a building - True" field on "False", but it still doesn't work.
And btw: what's the difference between normal Conditions and Actions:If - Conditions?

Post your map please. And sorry it was my misstype since I was writing code myself without editor. I corrected that mistake now though.
