Metamorphosis vs abilities

[ZiGOR]

Hello, everyone.
Can anyone help me to overcome this kind of problem when you give your hero some abilities like +armor or +some attributes and they disappear when he changes his form?

native UnitMakeAbilityPermanent takes unit whichUnit, boolean permanent, integer abilityId returns boolean

^This function should make the ability permanent, and not being removed when morphing. There doesn't exist a GUI equivalent, but with help of variables you can use it easily.

• Set Ability = Shockwave
• Set Unit = < Your Unit >
• Custom script: call UnitMakeAbilityPermanent(udg_unit, true, udg_Ability)

The custom script will make "Ability" permanent for "Unit", you can try to copy and paste it.

Here's what I've got:

It doesn't help at all... Can I use a spell book ability as ability? Or when I disable it it can't become permanent?

Using @IcemanBo's method, you would also have to make the abilities in the spellbook permanent too. If I can quote myself from the following thread, How do I code this?:

The Issue with Morph Abilities
After numerous tests and some research, I have found the cause of the disappearing spellbook; the morph process itself.

Apparently when morphing, [POST=1155294]all abilities added via triggers are reset[/POST] unless they are given permanence using the Jass native
UnitMakeAbilityPermanent
. Therefore if you're adding a disabled spellbook to a unit dynamically, making it permanent will prevent this problem. The catch: the abilities inside the spellbook also have to be made permanent.

This isn't necessarily a problem; more of a nuisance. There is the possibility of avoiding this mess thanks to Ceday's post in this year-old thread: Metamorphosis and Bear Form Remove Abilities. By changing the event to Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability and checking the unit-type of the triggering unit, you can add the disabled spellbook without worrying about permanence at all.

For those moments when there is no need to add a spellbook dynamically, adding it to the alternate unit in the object editor will also work; just make sure to disable it in the triggers!

Oh, sounds tricky =Ъ
Thanks for help!

For the information I gathered on this post you need to do this:
Store your unit into a unit variable, store the spellbook itself into a ability variable then store all abilities on the spellbook into a variable of each one, then you run the custom script code for each of them (including the spellbook itself)

• Spellbook
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set YourUnit = (Triggering unit)
    • Set Spellbook = YourSpellbook
    • Set Spelbook_Ability1 = Acid Bomb
    • Set Spellbook_Ability2 = Devotion Aura
    • Custom script: call UnitMakeAbilityPermanent(udg_YourUnit, true, udg_Spellbook)
    • Custom script: call UnitMakeAbilityPermanent(udg_YourUnit, true, udg_Spellbook_Ability1)
    • Custom script: call UnitMakeAbilityPermanent(udg_YourUnit, true, udg_Spellbook_Ability2)

Yeah, that's right I got it Thanks
