Replacing a Hero with another Hero?

[Trueflame]

I got a question about Hero replacing. In my map, I want to make it so that when a player types in a certain message, their hero will be replaced by another one. I've tried multiple ways, but none of them seem to work.

you could add the heroes to a unit array

and have a trigger that hides the current hero and unhides the hero you want to change to
then move the new hero to the location of the hidden hero

I didn't think of that! Thanks.
EDIT: It didnt seem to work right.......what is the unit array?

U may try

• Replace Hero
• Events
  • Player - Player chat message -replace
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit - Replace (your hero) with (your other hero) using replaced units relative life and mana

or something like this

that would destroy his items + experience +....all of the replaced unit ^

and he is just switching between heroes, not morphing, so you don't need to keep the relative health and mana

I tried that one. Whats really busting me is that since the heroes are chosen from an altar, I don't have a concrete unit to use the unit triggers with, since they aren't placed on the map until they have been chosen. I tried to use the hide/unhide and move instantly action triggers, but I can't properly target the original hero because he hasn't been placed. The hidden heroes have been placed, but when I type the message, nothing happens.

try picking heroes with something other than an alter, I use the double click method

Okay didnt bother writting the triggers here. So I am just going to post this map I made with hero swiching.
Hope it helps you out, it works.

Just download test it, and look in triggers to see what I done.

This isnt correct: He will keep his items, and his exp. His original unit would be removed yes, but then he could just use same trigger to replace the new one with a unit of the old type....
My maps shows it, just made it more useful
