(solved)switch illidan (morphed) back to illidan with a trigger instead of waiting for it to end

[hunglikeahuman]

i was wondering if there was a way to switch illidan (morphed) back to illidan with a trigger instead of waiting for the metamorphosis duration to end. not the cooldown, but the duration.

Simply Replace it. There is an option in GUI which replaces existing unit on the map.

i already have several replacing triggers on 1 person, the main guy, i think if i add yet another replacing trigger to him it might cause problems. but im not sure. is there another way?

What happens if you remove the metamorphosis ability from Illidan while he's in his ulti form?

Otherwise if it's in a cinematic, just use animations and attach the alternate tag to Illidan and then remove it when you want the effect to end.

To be honest, that is a good idea. However, I think it's not necessary to remove the ability itself, but its buff instead.

call UnitRemoveAbility(YOUR_UNIT, 'BEme') // 'BEme' = Default Metamorphosis buff

Metamorphosis is undone immediately.

thanks everyone, i'm about to try each idea and see what works and will get back to you all and give rep points afterwards

call UnitRemoveAbility(YOUR_UNIT, 'BEme') // 'BEme' = Default Metamorphosis buff. do i use the whole code or do i leave off the part past the //? also my characters name code is edem (hero) do i just put edem or edem (hero)?

illidan (morphed) is E002:Edmm but the ability is A004:AEme. illidan regular is Edem (hero) and under his abilities the morphing is A004.
