Hi Everyone,
I have a major problem with my spells on world editor. I am trying to get a hero to have the ability to 'fuse' with another non-hero unit to creat another unit. (if that makes sense) I used the hippogryph and archer abilites from the Night Elves Tech tree. I also made them have the ability to 'unfuse'. The problem is, when I fuse them, the hero dies and a new hero pops up. When I get the new hero to unfuse, it gives me a different level 1 hero. Thus giving me three heroes (1 alive, 2 dead) (hope this makes sense)
Thank you
Sproggos

phew thats a bit hard, you need triggers:
when the hero casts fuse, move the 2 fused hero instantly to a place where players cannot see them and change their owner to neutral passive for example. Then create the fused hero to the owner of the caster at the pont of ability being castand set its lvl to the fuser lvl if its a hero. When unfused move the fused hero to the hidden place and give it to neutral passive and pick the 2 fused hero(now owned by neutral passive) and put them back to the field and change their owner to the palyer who casted the fuse ability.
you also need to change the spell not to be based on the 'mount' ability.

        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temppunkt02[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer())])
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temppunkt03[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer())])
      • 'ELSE'-Actions
        • Set TrigPlayerVar = (Player group((Triggering player)))
        • Game - Display to TrigPlayerVar for 5.00 seconds the text: |cffffff00(Notice)|r: Wrong unit
        • Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_TrigPlayerVar)
This is the fuse-trigger from my map
It checks the unit-types and creates a new one at the position of the caster
Besides, you need the followings:
tempunit1[] - unit variable with arraysize 1
tempunit2[] - unit variable with arraysize 1
temppoint1[] - point variable with arraysize 1
temppoint2[] - point variable with arraysize 1
fusion_eff[] - special effect variable with arraysize 1
fusion_eff2[] - special effect variable with arraysize 1
TrigPlayerVar - Player group variable
