One unit with many model

[khang2000]

can you give a single unit with multiple model at the same time

do you mean have it morph?

if you actually want to show 2 models at the same time you would need to combine the models into 1 model file that knows how to apply all the animations together. this is probably not a huge deal for good modelers. maybe you can find someone in the modeling requests area to help you stick the units together.

another way to go about it would be to create a dummy model and use knockback and stuff like that to "stick" it to the other model. and also trigger it's animations to mimic the other model. sounds like a mess, but should be possible.

If you mean morph, we also have the Set Unit Skin function on more recent versions. I recommend using Custom script for this one, the GUI version is janky.

how to change model of the unit inside game with trigger?

hi i got a hero in map but i would like him to get diff model after he completes quest. he should save his stats skills and still be affected by future triggers in map. its a pre spawned hero in editor so many events are connected with him, so is there way to give him diff model with trigger? i...

The function is also a little buggy sometimes.

This will set the unit's skin to Archmage or footman:

• Set Variable SkinUnit = Some unit
• Custom script: call BlzSetUnitSkin(udg_SkinUnit, 'Hamg')
• Custom script: call BlzSetUnitSkin(udg_SkinUnit, 'hfoo')

do creating a model with different morph in 1 unit mean we have to create an ability so it can turn to uther midel, right?

When you reply, make sure your comment is separate from the quote.

Morph abilities have two fields, Normal unit and Alternate unit. A single ability can be used to transform between both forms.
Normal -> Alternate. Alternate -> Normal.

Look at any of the existing morph abilities as examples. Storm Crow Form, Bear Form, Metamorphosis, Chemical Rage, etc...
