[Trigger] Is there a way to swap a model using triggers?

[Systemfre1]

Hey all.

So I've got this trigger that when a unit picks up a certain armour it changes the unit.
the only problem is that when it changes it removes all the previous abilities (custom ability system)
so what I want to know is:
is there a way to swap a model?
perhaps using a custom script?
OR
Is there a way to keep all the abilities of the previous unit?

There is no native function to change a unit's model. Other than reapplying the abilities, you can use

native UnitMakeAbilityPermanent (unit whichUnit, boolean permanent, integer abilityId) returns boolean

to maintain abilities through morphing.

Thanks a bunch

EDIT: How would I use this in GUI?

I think he means that you create a new unit (the one with the new model) and then apply all the abilities of the old unit to the new.

How about this?

GUI does not have that action -> would require a Custom Script line.

• Custom Script: call UnitMakeAbilityPermanent(udg_u, true, udg_abil)

where u is a GUI unit var, abil a GUI ability var.
