Need help with "call to arms"- custom ability

[Mechcash]

Hello Community ,

Iam currently creating some small custom spells for a map.
And I am nowhere near experienced in professional Map-Design, so I have to ask some "newb" questions

The first one is this one: I want to create an ability where a unit can summon 2 peasants, so far so good

but this unit also has to be able to use the town hall call to arms, to upgrade these peasants for a short period of time. I have no idea how to do this effectively.

Iam sure somebody here can help me with this
Thanks in advance!

Summoned units can use call to arms or do you want your peasants to be upgraded without castle for a period of time? if so:
You can give the peasants the metamorphosis ability.

mhh the problem is I don't know which ability I can use to summon 2 Peasants/ e.g. when I use Spirit Wolves with Peasant-Models, they won't react to call to arms, since they are not registered as Peasants...so how i can use a summon to summon 2 peasants? And yeah without castle if possible.

Thing is, I gave the unit who shall be able to cast this ability call to arms, but the summoned units won't react since they are no "real" peasants and just use the Peasant-Model

Which ability you choose doesn't matter for the summoning.
If you want them to react to "Call to Arms" go to the object editor choose your unit. Scroll down to "unit classification" and add "worker".
Don't forget to edit Call To Arms (Peasant) ability.

so i finally got it somewhat to work, but there's a major problem...
After the call to arms time runs out, when the militia turns back into workers...the game crashes

Maybe you could help out with that again... appreciated

That is because you didn't give the Call to Arms ability to the "militia"
The origin and the morphed unit should both have the ability in order to work.

Thank you so much, it really helped :3

But as you could guess, there are more issues....
1. The call to arms ability does not have a cooldown eventhough I gave one to it
2. After the militia turns back to workers they have the building symbol eventhough I deleted any possible building-option. They only have the hammer after returning back from being militias,no buildings are in it, only the symbol annoys me...

1. I don't think Call to Arms can have a cooldown.
2. Copy another unit ( like rifleman/footman) and turn it into the peasant or militia.
