I've found a way to change hero's primary attribute

[HappyTauren]

I'm going to write a script to do this semi-seamlessly, but so far, my findings are as follows:

1) This is done by morphing your hero to a normal unit, then morphing it to a hero again, but the hero loses all hero metadata so he ends up with 0 0 0 attributes, and 0 experience as well
2) You need to let some ticks through while doing this, your hero needs to be an unit for the minimal amount of time, so you'll need to use a timer to do this properly, and after it's done, you just remove the chaos ability used to morph to a dummy unit, and add the one you want, I am not sure this works seamlessly, and we need to test this
3) If your unit has any armor, negative or positive, before transformation, it will end up as a permanent bonus after two transformations back and forth

If anybody wants to experiment with this or even write a simple system, he's free to, I will be making my won in the near future anyway.

This is a known technique but due to complication arising during even such a short period of time when hero becomes a unit result in it being uncommonly used.
It's not a simple switch - several factors have to be taken into consideration and you can't be sure about what random triggers in random map are doing to random hero that is going to be shifted.

Yeah, figured it isn't worth it in the end, I've tried to experiment around it but there are just way too many bugs.

only working solution solution.

create multiple morph abilities, 3 for each hero model 1 for every attribute.

giving a morph ability to a hero, which ever attribute they want matching their model file

morph the hero

use a trig to replace unit with matching unit with same stats

kill and revive hero

now you have a permanent change

happy hiving

^That will certainly work for some scenarios, but if you need to morph a lot or very often, being able to disjoint ANYTHING by morphing is a broken concept.

 

[TheLordOfChaos201]

the only error I got was that sometimes you got negative armour, but if you kill and revive the hero the problem goes away.

multiple morphs doesn't disrupt the game, it just takes time is all

Here's what I discovered playing around with this, you can give hero's new learnable hero abilities as well however it doesn't take longer then a second if that to apply this morph method.
