[Spell] War Club question/issue

[AJalex]

Ok, so i have the war club ability modified to change the attack type of the hero. I don't want it to need to be cast on a tree to work so i changed it to terrain/self etc. but the problem is that its being cast but the attack doesn't get changed.

Can someone help me with this?

EDIT: also, is the cooldown group on War Club hard coded into the game? Having 2 War Club derivative abilities, casting one of them, makes the game cast both.

Thanks!

War club doesn't work if not casted on a tree.

I Recommand using an Trasformation ability, and make two versions of your Hero.

• Bearform unlimited time
• Metamorph limited time

The ability actually swaps a unit's attacks around. For the Mountain Giant, from Attack 1 to Attack 2. Also, pretty sure that War Club is hard-coded to only target trees if I'm not mistaken.

The issue with having 2 spells based on the same ability is that both will go into affect when either one is cast. That goes for every ability in the game except Channel, where you can edit the Base Order Id.

Edit: What Tasyen said about the transformations is probably the best way to go.

Well transformations will be a bit of a pain because it refers to a hero and it can have 22+ spells so checking each hero which ability it has where and then passing items around would be a bit complicated.

Pfff, so no 2 war club abilities to switch between attacks? ...

Thanks

Items are keeped over Morphing.
Abilities which are Permament are keeped over Morphing, Learned Hero abilities are Permanent other abilities, like unit abilities, can be made Permanent with a native jass function.
call UnitMakeAbilityPermanent(unit whichUnit, boolean Permanent, integer abilityId)

Sadly, no. You can keep one of the War Club abilities though and use a transformation for the other attack type you want.
