uprooted ancient abilities

[smogas]

how to add abilities to uprooted ancient form. I tried trigger and object editor but all abilities is added only to rooted form.

 

[XPQJ]

Trigger1:
Event
-Generic Unit Event - Unit starts the effect of an ability
Condition
-Ability Comparison - Ability beign cast equal to UPROOT
Action
-Unit - ADD ability (the ability you want) to casting unit

Trigger2:
Event
-Generic Unit Event - Unit starts the effect of an ability
Condition
-Ability Comparison - Ability beign cast equal to ROOT
Action
-Unit - REMOVE ability (the ability you want) from casting unit

sadly there's no ability called uproot ;|. Both uproot / root form triggers one ability called root

that probably because Root/Uproot just change the enabled attack index and disable move etc...
if you want to add abilities to the form it change to, you probably need to base it on other ability, like metamorphosis etc.

Well you can take the trigger XPQJ made using only one ability (Root) and then check whether the unit already has the desired skill. If it does, remove it, if not, add it.

that does not work cause every ability except for eat tree and entangle gold mine is always added to rooted form.

Ok, so after some testings I came to the following conclusions:

smogas is partly correct. The abilitys are actually added to the unit, but in no way accessable, neither via UI nor through triggers. In uprooted state that is.
This only applies to Active Skills though, Passive Skills are shown and work.

Also you cannot use the "Ability being cast" event. Actually you can't use any ability detect events, instead you have to use Order events.

I've attached my testing map. It also includes a simple way to remove/add abilities when root-/uprooting. It may be in JASS, but that's only because i'm lazy and it's easier/faster to write. The same thing in GUI is pretty easy =P
