Morph Ability

How to morph a druide of the claw into a dryade?

Everytime Istart the ablity the animation aborts, but the unit get's the abilities of the dryade and the druide... strange.

The animation aborts because druid of the claw and the druid of the claw (bear form) use the exact same model. If you look at the different animations you can see that the "alternate" animations are the druid in bear form.

When it changes to a dryad, the model changes instantly, but the dryad doesn't have a morph animation, so you don't see anything.

Also, if you want to retain abilities, there is a line of JASS code that will make a spell permanent so that the druid can retain its abilities after a morph.

If you don't want the dryad abilities, make a custom unit based on the dryad and get rid of its abilities and then have the druid morph into that instead.

Hope that was helpful!

So the only way is to use a trigger?

that is the way i always do it

I find what works best is to hide the original unit, and then make a new unit where the hidden unit is with the same orientation. Also add the new unit to the player's selection since that player had to have the unit selected to cast the spell.

You could even add a nice special effect to the spell to cover up the rough transition (night elf building death animation might look cool for your purposes (under spawned effects))
