Root/uproot abilities

[Tutko]

Hi, I was wondering is it possible to have 2 set abilities, one for rooted and one for uprooted state ?
When rooted I want the unit to have return gold ability, and when i uproot it I want to remove it.

I've written this trigger but it doesn't work:

EDIT: I also need uprooted unit to have cargo hold. Is that possible ? I've added cargo hold to the unit in object editor, when it's rooted it has it, once I uproot it, cargo hold disappears.

tempNumber is initially by default 0
unit is initially UPROOTED

      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Add Return Gold to (Triggering unit)
        • Set tempNumber = 1
      • Else - Actions

          • If - Conditions

            • Unit - Remove Return Gold from (Triggering unit)

The uprooted version is a separate unit
you need to add cargo ability to him.

So you have 2 units, rooted and uprooted it's easy.

If you find that separated unit in object editor I'll salute you. Original unit has cargo hold, but once I uproot it disappears

You're using uprooting like in night elf buildings?

yes, I'm using ability based on root (Ancient Protector). While rooted unit has all the abilities I need (cargo hold, load, unload), when I uproot it, they all disappear.

Look in object editor in the rooted unit, check the dependant alternatives and here you set your uprooted unit. (do the same for the uprooted one)

There is no "alternative" at all. "There's Techtree - Dependency Equivalents" but that does nothing for this case. And like I said there's no "uprooted unit". It's a single unit, if you don't believe me, check if there are "uprooted versions" of night elf buildings in object editor.

Maybe try to do it through the obsidian statue transform ability? But then it wouln't be a building anymore.

Okay, sorry but I gtg. Good luck with your problem, hope you will solve it
