I need a split ability which would allow the player to split the Goblin Sappers into 3 separate units (just like Storm, Earth and Fire but permanent) and that allow also to rejoin'em back again (just like mount hypogryph but with 3 units these time).

Can someone do that?

Hmmmm... you don't mind adding about 2 extra triggers to your map right? I think I could do it but I my friend has my cd right now. I'll try as soon as I can get it back. Oh, and I need to know what to use as the other units when they split.

No, i dont care bout triggers as long as they work. BTW, the separate sapper models are in Return of the Dragons campaign. Just download it, check the maps, and export the separate models.

Sorry, I just got around to doing this spell. And now I have to dl the Return of the Dragons? That will take way too long to dl for me so you're gonna have to import the models and change the units a bit when I'm done.

EDIT: again I must apologize because I tried to come up with a system that works but... I couldn't do it. The world editor seems to be missing a function under unit groups: pick every unit of type matching condition.

The best thing I could think of would be a really stupid trigger that just creates the 3 units each with a custom ability (the same ability) then have a trigger check for that ability being cast, removes the 3 units, then re-makes the single unit.

Or better... create the 3 units straight off, or more then 3 if more then 1 person can be that hero (check for someone selecting that hero with trigger also works). Hide them and make them paused, then move then to position of triggering unit and unpause, and move the triggering unit, then pause/hide?

Or is that also a bit.. weird/stupid?
