Making Unit hold "alternate" animation after triggered

[HandsOfficial]

so i spent like 30-40 minutes digging through the gewy ewy woowy (GUI) and finally got this set up lmao
I am proud of it so don't hate

but now i can't figure out how to make the animation play and hold? it only plays when its attacked.
(in fact if you right click it, and then just in time move before doing damage it will play the animation which is sloppy but not a problem and should work but yeah.)

trying to make the mimic move into alernate form, hold it, and gain certain amount of HP (if not just restored HP after "transforming")
thnx

so, you want it to morph and stay in it's morphed form?

If so, you should just replace the unit or use a morphing spell, depending on the effect you are trying to get.

If you write a little more about what exactly you are trying to do with this unit it will be easier to help.

well i tried a morphing spell but AI won't ever use it. i tried replacing metamorphosis on illidin, then tried copying and pasting metamorphosis and putting it on the Mimic/House unit (changing which units is normal and which alternates in the abilitys data etc)
doesn't work.
I'm trying to get the unit to drop down to 25% hp or so, change into it's alternate form, gain it's health back, and continue to fight until it dies. btw

BUT you've helped me out friend i can't believe i didn't realize that lol..

although im not sure how this is will i dont use replacing units really ever so i assume it'll look clunky but maybe not
will try here in a sec

this works but (i have a paladin with 0.50 attack speed and i have 4 of them hitting the monster) 2 alternate-animated units will spawn sometimes.

EDIT: i removed the wait time and it seems to be working now lol....although the animation that it plays seems to be immediately canceled by the following action (replace) so i might have to work with it but somehow it magically doesnt repeat animations when attacked think it was when i changed (unit - a unit is targeted) to (unit - a unit is attacked) idk lol the animation is goofy tho and not what i would want. i dont think there is a way to detect when a unit's animation finishes THEN replace it. rip too hard
hope this helps someone in the future if they google for it

You can use the wait but you need to Turn the trigger off before

Like this for example

Unit is Attacked

Trigger turn this trigger off
Wait 0.5 seconds
Transform bla bla bla you got it


That means after the first attack it will run the trigger and turn all events off and run the rest of the trigger
From the point you set the trigger off in and so you can’t run this trigger again so you need a other trigger for example when he unmorph back to his normal form
To turn your trigger on
