I was playing around with the demon hunter metamorphis ability and this is what I want it to do: I want a unit to have the ability and when it is click I want the current unit to morph into a custom made unit of mine. The problem is when editing the ability it ask for a 4 digit code and I don't know what my custom unit code would be where do I fine that?emote_sweat

I always do so:
make a new map, load my unit data, make only one trigger which is:
Events
Player selects a unit
Trigger:
Display text message: (Convert Unit-Type of Triggering Unit to string).

Then if you run the map and select the unit a text message should say custom_XXXX where the XXXX will be your unit's 4-digit code.

You can also place that custom unit on the map, then create a blank trigger and use an event like "Unit - unit within range of <select the custom unit on map>". Then go to Edit->Convert to Custom Text in your Trigger Editor menu. Look at the function used for this event, and in there will be a match for your unit in the 4 digit code. This at least helps eliviate the need to fire up WC3 and run your map.

Its the four letter code of what unit you use as the base code. Just look in the unitdata.slk for the the code.
