Need help to create a "magic box"

[Kabel]

How do I do to get a "magic box" to work?

It is a building that has cargo hold. A specifik unit can be loaded into the box. The box has an ability call "Transform" or "Tada!" or something, and when the ability is activated the loaded unit is unloaded and replaced with a new unit.
I would like to base this ability on Battle Stations.

Kinda like a rabbit enters a magic hat and a bird comes out instead and the rabbit is gone.

How do I do to create such epic magic?

Why based on battle stations?

Sacrifice ability would be perfect if it wouldn't be locked on acolyte.

Cause when pressing Battle Stations the units are auto-moving towards the box. Plus I will probably need to have 2 or 3 units in the box at the same time.

• Crossed out to prevent confusion, see below

Use a dummy ability like a Berserk with all stats like speed increase,rtc set to 0 for the Transform.

Ok some things really depend on your map. Decide how many units you will use, what animals, etc. Coz then we would need to add conditions for more than 1 unit or more than 1 type, This is just in case you use only 1 unit to another.

So make sure your Box has battle stations (note: it allows you only 1 type of unit to be picked in the box). Add the transform ability to the box from the Object editor.

Thanks! How do I do to get the loaded Rabbit to be removed from the game and replaced with the chicken? Cause right now is it only hidden

mark Solved.

So here are the started-over, much simpler triggers:

• Magic
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is loaded into a transport
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Transporting unit)) Equal to Magic Vault
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set the custom value of (Loading unit) to 1

• Magic 2
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type Rabbit) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Custom value of (Picked unit)) Equal to 1
            • ((Picked unit) is loaded into (Random unit from (Units of type Magic Vault))) Equal to False
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
            • Unit - Create 1 Chicken for (Owner of (Picked unit)) at (Position of (Picked unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
          • Else - Actions

Things you need: The building/Box to have: Load ability (Orc Burrow- Rabbit as a unit), Cargo Hold, Stand Down is fine (better than Unload).

I don't recommend Battle Stations for the bugs it may cause.

You can make events that cause a group of units to move to the Box when having Load ability and as I said, only the units that enter inside will be converted, those outside won't (unlike battlestations). This can serve as the command all to go in the box. Trigger for that:

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type Rabbit) and do (Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Board (Random unit from (Units of type Magic Vault)))

Hope all bugs are fixed with Load.
