[General] Question about morphing

[stan0033]

Does the unit which is morphing is replaced? Can I use (last replaced unit) after the spell?
I ask because the morpher is set to a variable. When he dies the re-creating trigger does not recognize him!

The variable should keep track of him even if he dies. If the unit is a hero of course.
Can you post the trigger in question?

 

[stan0033]

The unit is not a hero.
I won't post the whole trigger, it's just that I create the variable unit again on the starting point after he dies. I'm fixing the druid for one hour now, haha! He morphes in three different forms. When he dies morphed, his variable is not recognized. Does the morphing erase the data???

 

[Solu9]

When a unit (normal unit) dies it will not be recognized in a variable anymore.
That is when the unit dies completely.
The variable will return "no unit" I believe.

then how about if I change the death type to does not raise does not decay?

 

[Solu9]

Never really got the hang of exactly how decay/don't decay/raise/don't raise works.
Though I am pretty sure the unit will still eventually die.
The death time of a unit is in the object manager under "Art - Death Time".

yea, the unit gets removed from the game after that time, and it just playes decay flash and decay bones animations until that happens, unless it is revived or is raised.

This is just a speculation, so dont take this as guarantee, but maybe if you set Dont raise/Dont decay, unit gets removed from game earlier, because there is no way to bring it back to life.

How exactly you morph the unit? I want to test this and see what knowledge I can get out of this

 

[Death Adder]

What is the reason to store the variable? If you just want another unit of the same type then save unit type variable instead.

It has to be same unit? Then maybe you can revive and hide unit?

Good Idea, i should make them to unit type array.

edit: I can't refer them to unit type variable becase there are conflicts with many triggers that associate with the specific unit.
