Transfer unit triggers to a different unit?

[deama]

Is there a way to quickly and easily transfer triggers from a unit to a different unit? E.g. from a footman to a rifle guy.

I put a lot of triggers on a unit, but the unit I used looks too identical to nearby units, I want to change his model at the very least in order for him to look different; but doing this would require me re-doing every trigger that I put on him (that's if I even find them all); so I was wandering if there was an easier alternative.

You should have used a unit variable.

Yes, too bad I didn't know I'd be doing this in the future >_<

Just change the units model in the object editor.

U should change it over to a variable when ur editing it. Anything u use twice or more should be stored in a variable for speed and efficiency. Being easy to edit it when u store it is a plus.

Ok...

Just change the units model in the object editor.

Can't, if I changed the model of the unit, it would also change the model of all the units, which I don't want happening; cause I just placed 10 units in a troop, but one of them speaks and I want that guy to look more captain like...
come to think of it, I think I might be able to swap the model of that unit upon map load!

• Unit - Replace (Triggering unit) with a Footman using The old unit's relative life and mana

thats what i use for my map
you can use any suitable thing instead of triggering unit
event would be unit enter reagion or anything

why don't CnP your triggers then change the Footman Value to rifleman guy..
since you only want to change different unit

That's because I don't remember what kind of triggers I put on them, and where they are located (I got a bunch of triggers).

I shall try that.
Nope, won't work, triggers won't run.

Did you do this? ^

The best thing to do is use variables, you can also use special effects.

why trigger wont run? what are trying to do exactly, i.e. when do you want to transfer foot man into rifle man?

is it when foot man enter region?
is it any footman in the game just one type?
or do you want it all the time, just like troll head hunter and troll berserker, where berserker always replace head hunter when it has upgrade
or when do you exactly want the foot man to become rifle man

Edit: ofcourse triggers never run unliss they have proper event or are run by another trigger. You can put even as map initialization meaning that trigger as soon as game starts. (and that way you can put the action pick all units whose type is footman and replace them with rifle man and so when the game starts you will your foot men gone and you will see rifle men isntead

Replace unit removes old unit from the game and creates a completely new different unit, any variable or data about old unit will be gone.

Store the unit into a variable.

Also map designer, you're necro-posting.

what if you made an upgrade like the troll berserker, where the foot man upgrades to rifle man, just like how head hunter turn into troll berserker? I am not sure if that would work... though

It would not include variables afaik, but you should try too.
