Changing the model of Demon Hunter (demon form)

I changed the demon form's model to a black dragon. Problem is, when the demon hunter returns to his normal form, he keeps the black dragon interface icon (and i didnt even change the interface icon, only the model!). Also, when he changes back into a demon hunter, the dragon seems to be inside the ground (flying height 0) for a fraction of a second making the animation ugly :) I was wondering if there was a way to stop these things from happening.

sounds pretty complex.. cos i can imagine the dragon to turn into a demon hunter above the water or trees, causing all kinds of conflics.. can't you just use the druid of the talon's crow ability and change the model of the crow to a black dragon? Just a little idea, i thought that would be more suitable for that maybe..

yeah but...

1) i need it to be a hero level 6 ability
2) the dragon cant go on water, coz it has flying height but targeted as ground.

I have had this problem quite often. There seems to be a bug where, when any "alternatex" forms are used, they gain the interface icon of the corresponding model when they change back. I have just worked around this and made sure all of my models and interface icons stayed the same when using transforming skills.

However, if you really want to get rid of this problem and don't mind using a trigger, I have found giving the unit to another player and then taking it back will fix the interface problem at least.

where is his demon model kept anyway? in the map editor when you look at demon hunters demon form... It's just the model of the demon hunter himself...

Its the same model but it uses the alternate animations (scroll through the animations for the DH and you'll see the demon animations)
