Well... it morphs into another unit so you can just increase that unit type's base damage and armor to include the bonuses you want. If for some reason that's not viable, make 2 self-targeted 1.00 range auras based on Devotion Aura and War Drums (kodo beast ability) 2 abilities based on Item Armor Bonus and Item Damage Bonus. Set their button positions to X=0, Y=-11 (hold shift and double click that field to allow negative values) and make them unit abilities. Then you need 1 trigger:

• Events
  • Unit - A Unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) equal to METAMORPH
• Actions
  • Unit - Add DEV_AURA to (Triggering unit)
  • Unit - Add WAR_DRUMS to (Triggering unit)
  • Unit - Set level of DEV_AURA for (Triggering Unit) to (Level of METAMORPH for (Triggering Unit))
  • Unit - Set level of WAR_DRUMS for (Triggering Unit) to (Level of METAMORPH for (Triggering Unit))
  • Wait - DURATION game-time seconds
  • Unit - Remove DEV_AURA from (Triggering unit)
  • Unit - Remove WAR_DRUMS from (Triggering unit)

The Wait here is an inferior solution to properly using a timer, but you probably don't care that much about it. The unit will keep these bonuses the full DURATION length, even if it dies while metamorph is active and is revived before the Wait finishes. But again that may or may not matter to you depending on your map.

I got an alternative though, you can use item ability "Item Hero Damage Bonus" and "Item Hero Armor Bonus" and they should not show on the icons, that way you don't need to see the buff below the Hero which can be messy sometimes. Anyway just use the trigger @Pyrogasm had provided.

 

[Pyrogasm]

Yep, as Acute said item abilities are a much better choice than self-auras. I still don't think you need to use the trigger editor at all here, though.

@allenwalker1995 Next thing to take note, starts effect for metamorph activates twice, once at the start and another at the end, make sure you disable that trigger until it comes back cooldown again.

Thanks Guys
I would try the trigger out and adjust it to fit my map.

Why not just increase the morphed unit's stats? That requires no triggers.

or you can add the Abilities directly to the Ability - Normal field in the object editor on the unit the user transforms into only

I don't get it... what's so hard about adding more damage and armor? Just base on the metamorphosis ability, with the corresponding unit types, the normal unit, with no increased armor and attack, and the morphed unit, with bonus armor and attack. Really simple, no triggers or anything like pyrogasm said.
Don't complicate your life.

 

[Acutesharpness]

Nope @Wrda , What OP originally meant was that he wants the green bonuses to appear on the morph unit and not just number increase flat out...

 

[Wrda]

Oh... Ok then,

or you can add the Abilities directly to the Ability - Normal field in the object editor on the unit the user transforms into only

Your solution.

There's a much more simple way than triggering it, just by using object editor, adding the abilities (damage and armor bonus) directly to Ability normal field like it was said before.
