[General] Why my summoned units die when I morph?

[stan0033]

When I summon units with spell and then morph to another unit with spell the summoned untis are removed. why?

 

[Solu9]

Perhaps because of the unit handle of the summoning unit changes?
Anyway. Don't really know how to solve that problem other than make a couple of simple triggers to summon instead.

What morph skill are you using?That shouldn't happen.

Or you can just base your summon skill of "summon water elemental" type thing, instead of "feral spirit" thing.

 

[stan0033]

I use feral spirit yes. and bear form.

 

[Ceday]

Can you use metamorphosis?

 

[stan0033]

I tried feral spirit and bear form the result is that they disappear when i morph. then I tried with metamorphosis and they dont disappear, but metamorphosis has limit. I dont want it to have limit

update: I tried with metamorphosis in my map, but it also kills my summoned units. In other tests map doesn't. why? :O

update 2: i made feral spirit out of another ability and when i summon my wolves and after i morph the shaman dies after the wolves die? :O why?

You can set Metamorphosis duration to 0. It might work.

 

[stan0033]

It's 0.

The new unit morph doesn't have the same ability that summoned the unit. This is even more pronounced when you add/remove carrion beetles. Don't use Feral Spirit, or don't remove the ability (if you aren't removing the ability then make sure the new morph has the same ability, without it being disabled).

 

[stan0033]

I don't think this is the problem, because I tried, when I summon the wolves I morph and then morph back and when they expire the shaman dies in his original form(in which he has the ability).

 

[Zeatherann]

Trigger the summons then.

If you are using a certain unit to morph, I'd have a spell that calls upon a dummy unit to spawn the units for the morphing unit.

The dummy unit would probably be immensely consuming, though. If all you need to do is summon the... summoned units when you morph, then just trigger it through a condition and not through a spell.

Not sure if that helps.

I don't know how relevant it is, but non-hero morphs actually kill the morphing unit(s). This is hard to prove directly, but I encountered this when I tried to use Mount on heroes. The hero was simply killed and hidden, making it revivable.
This is also likely the reason why metamorphosis did not have this problem.

 

[Zeatherann]

Which morphing spell? Storm Crow Form doesn't do this as I have a hero that can mount and dismount. However, I'm morphing via triggers and not by clicking the spell (though it is indeed using the spell).

 

[Vinz]

I tried with Hippogryph, crazy mounts. Killed my hero. </3

 

[stan0033]

Triggering also doesn't help! I order dummy to summon the wolves, but the shaman still dies!

 

[Solu9]

Post your trigger/s.

 

[stan0033]

it's that simple...

• cast wolves
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Feral Spirit (Shaman)(W)
  • Actions
    • Set Feral_Loc = (Position of (Casting unit))
    • Unit - Change ownership of Crystal to (Owner of (Casting unit)) and Retain color
    • Unit - Move Crystal instantly to Feral_Loc
    • Unit - Order Crystal to Orc Far Seer - Feral Spirit
    • Unit - Move Crystal instantly to Center

 

[Zeatherann]

Use Storm Crow Form.

I fixed it, found the problem. OK thanks all for replying to this
