Im trying to use a custom model and tried to shapeshift but it dies as seen in the video. What could be happening?

I also tried to do the same thing with necromancer -> bear form but it still died.

I was writing a tutorial about shape shifting abilities and as a mechanic in Warcraft a while back, never finished or published it, but here is a quote from said tutorial, and it will probably be the cause of your unit dying:
"In order for transformation abilities to work the "Alternate Form Unit" must have the ability. If the "Normal Form Unit" has the ability, but the other unit form does not, the unit will die upon casting. Alternate Form Unit does not need the "Normal Form Unit" to have the ability - it just works as a one-way-shape-shift only then."

That was the problem, thanks! It worked I forgot to put the ability on the alternate form or I put it in the wrong way. You should post that tutorial, it could be interesting to make a unit with different shapeshift forms.

Thanks all for replying
