Unit transform in certain time of day

How to trigger unit to morph into another unit in for example in midnight?

I tried to set event game time, but when I try to give ability to unit I need to select the unit but its not an option because unit is not in the map when game begins and unit is playable by 2 different players.

Use a time of day event.
Add all units you want to transform into a unit group. Never destroy this unit group.
In actions loop through group an transform them.

Unit group - add unit has the same problem

 

[deathismyfriend]

You add the units that you want to transform to the unit group in another trigger that fires when unit enters the map.....

I cant understand how it is any different on different trigger. I still need to "select unit" when adding units to unit group and its impossible since unit is not in the map in editor.

 

[deathismyfriend]

Use a unit enters map trigger event.
Check if that is the unit you want to transform.
Add unit to transformUnitGroup

Next trigger

Use a time of day event
Loop through the unit group and transform the units.

Why loop command?

 

[deathismyfriend]

Because if you have more than one unit that transformed you need to loop through all of those units. If you only have one unit to transform then use a variable instead.

You don't. Click the function bullet. Scroll down. Triggering Unit.

How to give ability to all units in group? pick all units in unit group and do action doesnt work because I need to select triggering unit again.

No you don't. Read the little note when using the group loop. It says use picked unit when referring to the unit in the group. You do not use triggering unit.

You could use a morph hidden in a disabled spell book to do the unit type change (I think at least). You can either detect the time of day changes using a polling periodic event or by using events that detect time of day changes (will not detect time skips such as eclipses and things).

Since bear form, metamorphosis etc need to have same abilities for both forms, how should I make unit to have different abilities and more stats etc during night?

Then add different abilities and stats during night.

You could trigger your very own "morph" spell via triggers, because if that morphed unit is hero and he dies, he will most likely transform back into his original form... which may in the end be more of a nuisance than anything.

add two timers. The first follows the daytime and the second is triggered every morning or dawn or midnight... When the triggered time expires add to the unit modified morph ability.

But there's already an event for that.
