Why won't my unit morph?

[micromonkey]

I have a morphing unit called the Archdruid. I made it so this unit can morph into 5 different forms, but when i click on one of them it morphs into a form that isn't even part of the spell.

How do i make it so it can morph to a specific custom unit?

Take a spell like the druid of the claw's bear form, then under "data", change the unit type you want him to change to. Also change the order activation string to something different, and if you're going to have 5 different morphs, make sure they're all different.

Yes i did that. Under data i specified the unit i want it to morph to. But i still can't have it morph properly.

hmm i think. why not try basing the spell off something else and trigger it? like basing it off an instant cast spell (e.g. Warstomp, Berserk), and use the trigger Unit - Replace, so you can really change that unit to a specific one.

if you place an expiration timer to the morphed unit (using the trigger Unit - Add Expiration Timer) you can also create a timer that ends before the expiration timer and replace it again with the original unit, removing the expiration timer upon replacing.

you must be overlapping OrderIDs

you'll have to base each morph on a different spell or trigger each one separately with the Channel base ability

still you need separate OrderIDs

I wouldn't use replace really..

I made a morphing unit once, that kinda worked like Invoker, but stat allocation determined what morph you got when you 'invoke'.. it works pretty well.

Just jabbering off topic stuff sorry

i just thought of using replace, because he said he can't make the unit morph properly using the bear form ability. but then again i thought maybe there is something with the OrderIDs like what Just_Spectating said.

i guess he can use it as a last resort. i don't why, but some computers lag (even crashes) when using replace thing. (that makes my suggestion the last resort XD)

Well you can replace but in case of heroes I'm not sure if items etc get transfered (doubt that).
So.. you can use replace but it's not flawless. xD

well you can trigger everything that's needs to get transferred...

True. but yeah you could also save position of the caster, create a FX and a SFX, create 4 dummy units with transparency and make them explode WHILE morphing..

My point is, it all depends on how complicated you want it to get.

 

[micromonkey]

hm so that must mean i have to use different versions of the morph spell. Could the Uproot and root thing be used?

 

[micromonkey]

ugh! God dangit! I can't seem to find a way to do this! I tried using different deactivate and activate strings but that didn't work. The stupid thing just kept on switching the the other forms.

If i upload this map to filefront will someone fix this for me? I can't understand triggers as much, but i try my best.

Watch the double posting, if its really such a pain you can post your map in the pastebin and see if someone will be willing to help.
