hey there hive users, i am making a new revival/morphing system, but i can't figure out how to do it well with no leaks, what i am trying to do is the follow, when an unit's mana becomes greather than or equal to 1 it will make other unit morph using the old relatives mana from the unit that has mana equal or greather than, and also want to remove this unit (mana one) and just keep the morphed one.

example

mana unit = mana greather than or equal to 1
non-mana unit = morph into another unit three
unit three = keeps mana unit's mana
then remove mana unit

Um... okay... no wonder you call this a challenge, I'm having difficulty understanding what you want to do :p.

From what I see, it looks as if you want it so that Unit A gets 1 mana, so Unit B turns into Unit C who has the same mana as Unit A. However, you want to remove unit A afterwards. Can't you just have it so that you replace Unit A with Unit C using Unit A's relative life and mana? Then, you instantly move Unit C to where Unit B is and then remove Unit B.

Hm... I think that will do the trick. If you need anymore explanation, I'll answer ASAP. However, it just sounds like a simple problem of thinking of the wrong method (this isn't a bad thing, as it trains you to think of alternative methods to accomplish what you want. Rarely is what you see in games that looks good what it actually is. Us modders are magicians: we create illusions). Good luck!

so far it's all i've got, it's working for me now, but i am not so sure if this is leak free.
