what is the easiest way to create the war wind 2 unit training system in warcraft 3

[andreasaspenberg]

it involves a building telling the unit to go to it and start training into a different unit. please help me out.

It's possible to be triggered. Perhaps something like this:

• TrainingInit
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Target unit of issued order)) Equal to (==) (Owner of (Triggering unit))
    • (Issued order) Equal to (==) (Order(order_string_of_your_training_ability))
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add Locust to (Triggering unit)
    • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to TrainingGroup
    • Custom script: Set udg_TempHandle = GetTriggerUnit()
    • Hashtable - Save Handle Of(Position of (Target unit of issued order)) as (Key Trainer) of (Key TempHandle) in (Last created hashtable)
    • Custom script: Set udg_TempHandle = null

• TrainingLoop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TrainingGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set TempLocA = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Custom script: set udg_TempHandle = GetEnumUnit()
        • Set TempLocB = (TempLocA offset by 16.00 towards (Angle from TempLocA to (Load (Key Trainer) of (Key TempHandle) in (Last created hashtable))) degrees)
          • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • (Distance between TempLocA and TempLocB) Less than or equal to (<=) 16.00
            • Then - Actions
              • Unit - Replace (Picked unit) with a Footman using The old unit's relative life and mana
            • Else - Actions
              • Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to TempLocB

This is in no way a complete way of doing this. It's just to give an idea of how you could do it. If you are not able to, then you should ask someone to make it. It's a bit too much work for me to do.

perhaps you misunderstood me slightly. the building tells the unit what unit it shall become by using some kind of targeted ability.

That doesn't change much. Just switch the triggering unit and target unit of ability in the first trigger.
Those triggers are just for giving an idea though, they are not complete.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

it also needs to take some time.

Yeah its just easy....create a custom ability...for the building and create a trigger...when the ability is casted on a unit use the Unit- Replace Unit..
