Transformation

[seiitsu]

How can i make a spell that transforms a hero into another hero with different skills and stats?

 

[chenlimin]

try hiding your hero and creating another one (then set and level item exp and everything else)
or you can try massing around with choas and robo-goblin, but those doesn't support different spells well.

 

[seiitsu]

but that will leave the hero icon in the top left also i want it in a spell form, kinda like illians move -forgot the name- he turns into a demon, like that just dont keep the same skills

 

[chenlimin]

by using the "hide" I meant

• Unit - Hide (Triggering Unit)

It will hide the hero's icon too.

Also which skill do you mean? unit or hero?

 

[seiitsu]

Oh sorry xD

also can u tell me how to do it entirely? like how do i put it in a spell form and make it trigger to swap heros in such. ya know

 

[chenlimin]

• Transformation
• Transformation
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Transformation
  • Actions
    • Unit - Hide (Triggering unit)
    • Set TEMP_Point = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 Blood Mage for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at TEMP_Point facing Default building facing degrees
    • Hero - Set (Last created unit) experience to (Hero experience of (Triggering unit)), Hide level-up graphics
    • For each (Integer Integer_C) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Hero - Give (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot Integer_C) to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
    • Selection - Select (Last created unit) for (Owner of (Triggering unit))

Leaks fixed.

Note: If this trigger kills one hero and creates another, so if your win/lose condition is kill this hero, it will bug.

Edit: Add hide at the start. (Map not change)

 

[seiitsu]

nah no win/lose and thanks ALOT! if i knew how to give u rep i would xD

how do i set it for one units?

 

[seiitsu]

I mean, how set it so that where ever i use it, the hero turns into the another hero,

 

[chenlimin]

what do you mean? you mean that when hero A cast it ,hero A turns into hero B, and when hero B cast it, it turn into hero A?

If you don't want it to change to blood mage, just change the "blood mage" in this line

• Unit - Create 1 Blood Mage for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at TEMP_Point facing Default building facing degrees

 

[ALiEN95]

BTW your first action should be to hide the triggering unit so you can create the unit on him

if you create a unit on unit that is not hidden he will not be created on him but next to him,first hide triggering unit and it will look better

 

[Childeric]

Uhm. Why not just make your own version of the Bear Form spell? xD

 

[chenlimin]

try it, bear form won't work on heros.

 

[En_Fuego]

If you make it a hero spell and use the right values yes it will...I've done it in a map before.

 

[chenlimin]

are you sure? I tried and it doesn't work, could you upload a test map which works with bear form?

when I tried using bear form, the model changes, but the stats doesn't, nor does the spells change.

 

[Tichoronda]

Metamorphisis does that, just with a time limit.
Just change the alternate form unit factor.

 

[En_Fuego]

are you sure? I tried and it doesn't work, could you upload a test map which works with bear form?

You have to have the second unit have different stats and the same spells for that to work.

 

[seiitsu]

Thanks alot guys! but yeh what i ment was "second hero" as in how do i change it back? make a second set of triggers? also! how can i make it so it so spawns right on top of the hero insted in a region?

 

[Saia_Djinn]

save the first one upon cast in variables and at the end just recreate the first hero

 

[seiitsu]

lol sorry im useless xD how do i do that?

 

[Saia_Djinn]

set the hero attributes(like exp , abiltiy levels etc..items) to for exp , levels.. integer variables then create a unit with call createunit and set the saved attributes to the new hero

 

[seiitsu]

Hey thanks alot guys

also can u help me again? xD, how do i make a "skill" for a unit to have a "miss" chance e.g archer has a 50% chance to miss when they shoot there target,

-- is there a way to make an item transform a unit into something? as like i asked before but with an item? like once picked it it does the transform?

 

[ALiEN95]

....
E-unit acquires an item
C-item of type (item being manipulated) equal to (your item)
A- replace (triggering unit) with (your transforming unit)

 

[seiitsu]

thanks alot.
