Need to create a Night Morph Ability

[Ultimazed]

I've been trying for a while now to create an ability that would transform my hero into some kind of creature (Like a werewolf or so) at night fall, the creature would have upgraded stats...

I have failed miserably since ... Can someone help me ?

Pretty straightforward:

Events
Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 19.00 (or whatever hour turns to nighttime)
Actions
Unit - Add (your morphing ability) to (Your unit)

You could also use Unit - Replace Unit.

I hope this helps.

• Add Ability
  • Events
    • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 19.00
    • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 7.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If ((In-game time of day) Equal to 19.00) then do (Unit - Add Acid Bomb to No unit) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((In-game time of day) Equal to 7.00) then do (Unit - Remove Acid Bomb from No unit) else do (Do nothing)

I tried this ... But I can't seem to make it work.
My Hero only transforms Once and ... remain a werewolf for the rest of the game even though I did a trigger to transform him back to a form ...
I cannot replace with variable determined Units apparently so I have to recreate a Unit similar to my original hero .. But can"t seem to make it work ..

Help !

You do not need to drop items when replacing the unit...

and use

• Set werewolf = (Last Replaced Unit)

not Last Created unit and do not use waits especially when not needed like in this line:

• Unit - Replace TrapMaster with a Trapmaster ... blah blah
• Wait 0.20 seconds <-- You could remove this to avoid bugs
• Set werewolf = last blah blah

and supposedly.. maybe all waits with 0.20 because its just the same Like a wait before dropping items

If I get it right, try using Chaos.

Create 2 Chaos abilities, one to transform into the werewolf and another to transform into the original hero.

Then create a trigger that checks when the in-game time of day becomes 6 or 18 (like ATLW did) and add one of the Chaos abilities to the hero:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 18.00
    • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 6.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (In-game time of day) Equal to 18.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Add Chaos(werewolf) to (your unit)
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Add Chaos(normalform) to (your unit)

This trigger is pretty basic, so it will not detect any abilities that changes the time of day (like the moonstone).

I've heard there's a few issues that come with giving a unit Chaos. If you encounter these, try the morphing thing again with an ability similar to bear form.

However, You may have to make a spell to morph back and a spell to morph from, much like chaos. Or if you want to use just one, make sure you make the ability permanent when morphing or it will be removed. (This happens when morphing, abilities are lost unless made permanent)

If you want to remove and replace the items on a unit, you can do that instead and give the player a new hero that's similar to the werewolf.

Personally I wouldn't even bother with a morph ability. I would just replace the unit with a new unit or hide the unit that transforms into the wolf and show the wolf.
If you use replace, the items are transferred back and forth between the old and new unit; if you use hide and show, each unit would have different items.

What issues? I never heard that Chaos has issues. '-'

"One problem of Chaos is that it adds the morphed unit's current armor, damage, health and mana bonus received from items, auras and srength, agility, intelligence to the stats of the resulting unit. That means it's not a very good idea to morph heroes using chaos until Blizzard fixes those bugs. Ordinary units can't be affected by items and hero stats, so the only problem are buffs received from auras. Those buffs can easily be removed before the conversion and are automatically added again afterwards so that's not a real issue."

I've found your problem I believe

I tried this ... But I can't seem to make it work.
My Hero only transforms Once and ... remain a werewolf for the rest of the game even though I did a trigger to transform him back to a form ...

Help !

In the second image, the event should be becomes equal to 6.00, or whatever daytime is. If that still doesnt work change the other trigger too. Everything else should be fine.
