Pulling my hair out plz help

[Choggers]

(Solved) Pulling my hair out plz help

In order for my spell to work the user must already have the ability based of metamorphis however I dont want the icon too appear this spell has to be MUI so no actiavate/deactivate spell for player.

You can not hide Metamorphosis icon. You could describe what the spell is supposed to do. There is an alternate way of changing unit type, use bear form, set the default unit type to the new unit type and the old type to the alternate type. Adding and instantly removing the ability will transform the unit.

 

[Choggers]

Thx will try it now

EDIT: oh you think I need to change the unit type no its actually more of an asthetic thing rather than needing to change something like flying height, as you said it would help if I gave you more detail.

 

[Maker]

You can do it like this: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...ro-passive-transformation-198482/#post1952363

BTW, you only need to add/remove crow form in the cast trigger.

You're also leaking.

 

[Choggers]

I did only add/remove crow form... and I usually work this messy lol I clean up when the spell is working.

That only seems to work if the unit has a diffrent model file my unit uses the same model file

Are you sure you've have done it properly?
Set: Normal form field - UNIT you morth TO.
Alternative form - UNIT you morth FROM.

Meaby use pause action after morth trick.
As said, your trigger leaks:

• Set Transformation_Leap_Loc = ((Position of (Picked unit)) offset by 20.00 towards (Load 3 of (Key (Picked unit)) from Transformation_Hashtable) degrees)
• Hashtable - Save (Angle from (Position of (Casting unit)) to (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))) as 3 of (Key (Casting unit)) in Transformation_Hashtable

Positions of: Picked unit, Casting unit, Target of ability being cast leaks
Instead of Casting unit, use Triggering unit - it's faster.

if what i understood is right then you want to hide the ability button in the buttons .. well you can base your ability on the "pheonix fire ability that is hard coded and its button just dont show in the hero abilities buttons .. however it is counted as an ability "1 of the 5 abilities that the hero can have"
maybe this is a noob answer but thats everything i know about it..sorry

 

[Choggers]

I know my triggers leak... it doesnt seem to work when both my units use the same model tested it with diffrent models and it worked so that doesnt work.

if what i understood is right

well the ability needs to be active not passive.

EDIT:
well it looks like im not going to be able to do this so i may use 2 diffrent models that look similar and use the before said method wont look as good but will be functional.

As Spinmaker has said, your spells leak before attemping to found out the problem.
Maybe look into actually fixing the leaks, cause they can cause bugs sometimes, which i have found
like the following

• Actions
  • Set Caster = (Triggering unit)
  • Set CasterPoint = (Position of (Caster)

Obvisouly this is not MUI, due to Indexing is not used but always remember to remove your location to prevent leaks.

• Actions
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_CasterPoint)

Try adding them into your triggers, and see if that prevents the bug.

Thanks for all the help tried all the things you said and still didnt work... I have decided to use 2 seperate models now as the Bearwolf model had some ingame problems and all works perfectly now thx again for the help.
