Not go back to normal form

[Marcelo Hossomi]

Hello Hive people o/

A question that I'd really like to get solved: I have a hero that has the Druid of the Talon alternate form as model, and it has an ability based off Locust Swarm. Sy, you see, when he finishes the spell, he gets back to his elf form.

Is there a way to prevent this? Triggers? JASS? Hacking...? xD

Thanks in advance!

• Try This
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Stops casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Locust Swarm
  • Actions
    • Animation - Remove the alternate animation tag to (Triggering unit)
    • Animation - Add the alternate animation tag to (Triggering unit)

Maby this will help?

Uhumm that doesn't work

any other suggestion? T.T

You can write unit stats (exp, items, location, hp, mp and etc.) in variables and recreate him. At least, before you will find better way to solve this problem.

Ooh, I have an idea. Instead of having your hero cast the ability, make a dummy unit follow him around and cast the ability, and have timed life set to the duration of the locust swarm. That should work.

wait, why is he changing into his elf form in the first place? Locust swarm doesn't change your hero, it just has him release a certain unit that attacks nearby enemies...

So what, there are plenty of bugs in the world editor, and this is probably just another one of them.

OO, it's a bug. I thought that his ability was changing him. lol, ignore my previous comment in that case!

 

[Marcelo Hossomi]

The ability DO change the unit to its alternate form. Pay attention. The Crypt Lord has an alternate animation in which he moves his wings.

By the way, thanks for the suggestion graystuff. I'll do it that way ^^
(Although I'm really lazy to do so xDD )

EDIT: I did so and it worked perfectly.
