theres any way?

1. make a clone from ur hero and make it flying movement speed and add height to 2nd hero with height, make a metamorph ability and add to both hero, at map start disable ability to player, when u want unit flying then simple enable ablity for player, order it for use the ability, turn off to player, same when u want turn back to normal unit

2. create same unit type then what u want make flying, hide the original, select the new unit for owner, when u want walk the unit remove the last created unit and make visible the original

In-game, you'll have to use the 'morph' ability shadowvzs is talking about, or a triggered version of it.

In the world editor you just have to set the unit's movement type to "Flying" and then specify the minimum height you want it to maintain while traversing the map. This replaces the unit's default type movement though.

There is another easier way.You can use Crow FOrm abilities.There is a bug that allow you to make a non-flyer unit to a fly-er and vice-versa.
Simple create unit with movement type foot and flying heigh 0.
Simple trigger exemple:
  • Untitled Trigger 011
    • Events
      • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing fly as An exact match
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Unit - Add Crow Form to (your unit)
      • Unit - Remove Crow Form from (your unit)
      • Animation - Change (your unit) flying height to x at x
where "x" is the flying heigh that you want starting with 0 for non flyer or higher for flyer

First things first, do you want it to make a unit "fly" just visually, or literally, flying, as in, can fly across cliffs/water ?

If you just want to fly "visually", just follow ultimate11's trigger.
But remember, by doing this method, you only make it fly, visually, as in, the unit can be lifted up with FlyHeight function but that unit can't really pass cliffs.

But if you want to to make it fly, literally, you'll have to use morph trick for that - it requires 2 unit, 1 with Foot, 1 with Fly.
