Paladin Mounting

[Seraphim]

Before reading any further, know that I have a Mounted Arthas model (Thanks to wc3player3), and I have modified the paladin to Arthas' specs.

Alright, I have tried to use the "Mount Hippogryph" ability to make my paladin mount a horse, but when he mounts the horse, the level, spells, and name do not carry over to the new unit. Is there any way to make these things carry over without making an entirely new ability?

You might be able to trigger it via Unit - Replace, but not by using Mount because to the unit's hero status.

Again... the spell used by Darky would work... And you may use indeed the Replace stuff though you'll have to transfer all the items and stuff ^_^.

just make it something as is

Unit casts ability
Condition:
Abilit being cast equal to (w/e ur ability is called)
Action:
If Unit(horse) is within Range(200?) of casting unit, then create Unit (Athras Rider) at Position(Unit casting Ability)

ud need to add in a basic spell transfer trigger and experience transfer... pretty much a whole entire stat transfer... and an increase inhitpoints, movement speed, damage, or w/e
well gl

Umm... I would suggest more than that. Probably you will want to transfer all the items and stuff which will be a pain in the a**. Anyway, you can add the unmounted hero to a game cache and take all its properties (experience, levels, skills and so on...) and give them to the mounted hero. A lot of work but its the best thing I can think of.

Those caches can be exploited if not cleared, but I recommend dummy units like in the corner of the map, cut off by a minimap action, which I don't know yet, but is used in Dark Lineage, Everquest, and others

Hmm... those units could be a point of transfer. Having a 6 items place you can transfer the items of the transforming hero to them, make them maybe heroes but neutral passive, and giving them the level of the transforming hero. Then you can remove the original hero and set the mounted one (or vice versa) and give him the level and the items of the first hero. oh, another thing MIGHT BE the skills. You can try to give the levels of the original hero to the dummy and then to the mounted/unmouted transformed hero. ^_^ Might work... but i never tried it!
