Tower with changeable armor/attack

[ZiBitheWand3r3r]

Something like "Universal tower": after build owning player can change armor (heavy, medium, light etc) and attack type(pierce, magic, siege, etc) as he likes and many times if needed in game. I'm looking for ideas how to do that.

He could use the upgrade ability for towers which allow to turn for example A simple tower into a fire tower but with different categories (attack type, Armor...etc) I'm not if this is whats you're looking for

Second thing, this thread most go Request Section btw

As far as i'm aware, the only solution would be creating as many as the towers you need with different attack type and defense type and using trigger to replace the appropriate one. I know, this is not your ideal solution, but sadly warcraft 3 couldn't support such feature....

Yeah, to do that you need a tower per combination of damage type / armor type.

You might want to consider passive transformation to switch attack types. You must have copies of the one tower with it's different attack/armor types and then you have an ability that switches through the various towers.

Or just use regular metamorphosis to transform from one tower to the other. Dunno if it'll cause crashes though.

Separate attack from the tower. Attack is done by an invisible dummy while the tower is just for soaking damage. You give as many attack dummies as you want attack types. You give as many towers as you want armor types. Use one of the morph abilities to change between tower types. Use triggers to change between attack types. UI will be wrong but this is best you can do without going down the path of recombination.

In StarCraft II this would be easy thanks to the weapon abstraction.
