[Solved] Shapeshifting

[Tutko]

Hello!
I've spent several hours searching for the forums, but none of the posts seems to help my problem fully.

I'm working on a druid hero which can shapeshift with his ulti (custom robo goblin) to bear form. Models & transformation works fine.

What I want is next:

While in druid form hero has set of his own abilities (let's say blizzard, summon water elemental & brilliance aura for example) which he can level.

1) When he shapeshifts to his bear form I want him to have a NEW set of abilities (fan of knives, blink, shadow strike) that correspond with normal form abilities (example, if blizzard is lvl 2, I want fan of knives to be lvl 2 also, if briliance aura is not learned, I don't want bear to have shadow strike).

2) While in bear form he can normally lvl up his BEAR abilities, and when he shapeshifts back to his normal form, his normal form abilities (blizzard etc..) will correspond his bear abilities (If he lvls up shadow strike in bear form, I want him to have briliance aura when he convers back to normal form).


Using my poor skills of coding I managed to get part of the 1) part done myself (except that when he's in bear form that "Red +" button which u use to lvl abilities dissapears)

Bbut the biggest problem occurs when i shapeshift back into normal form. He loses all of his normal form abilities and doesn't retain ability points (Red + button is back)

I'll go with a stupid way (Note: This is most likely inefficient)

For example, I want to make an archmage transforms into a paladin using Bear Form (Unit). I tweaked the initial value of Phase variable in the editor to 1 then I continue as you can see below.

Despite the inefficiency, this could work.

EDIT:
Nope, after several testing. Let's just hope any guys with better knowledge come over to help. ~

Tranformacion - Warcraft 3 Maps - Epic War.com

This is not MUI, but works
And maybe you can use local variables to make it MUI(who cares about super precise timing on something like this?)

This has the same problem as I do. I edited metamorphis in that map of yours to has infinite duration (set duration to 0), and edited gameplay constant so you are able to turn it on/off.
Same problem occurs when you go from Metamorphis back to Maiev - all learned spell (with maiev) disappear

However, when going back to Metamorphis again she all spells are there (that were learned so far) - so this part is good.

How do I make it that she keeps her spells in Maiev form when transforming back ?

    • Wait 1.40 game-time seconds
    • Set Heroe = GUARDIANANOMUI
    • Detonador - Run Habilidades <gen> (checking conditions)

This worked okey, but as i said, it's NOT MUI.
The ability i used is based on Bear Form now, and the condition is for both normal and alternate form

sry for the double post. But here's the test map

 

[Tutko]

Thanks a lot! Works like a charm! Exactly what I needed.
I only edited this to fit my map (hero won't be able to revive once it's dead so its NP)

• Conditions
  • (Triggering unit) Equal to Warden NORMAL 0001 <gen>

+ rep!
