you know how a unit in object editor can have either attack 1 or attack 2 or both. well is it possible to change using triggers from 1 to 2 or vice versa?

Well, I don't know about triggers, but upgrades can disable/enable an attack, and you can set upgrades in the trigger editor... Only problem with that is that you can't set them DOWN.

nah, upgrades are not good, I need to be able to switch back and forth. Eh, there's probably no way to do this. One of the limitations of object vs trigger

Make a different and use unit replacing trigger.

Very easy to do this.. Use Chaos ability, make a copy of the unit with the other attack enabled and make 2 chaos abilities to change them back and forth. (Use triggers to give them the chaos ability which will instantly convert them).

yeah, but the unit is a hero. I suspect that using this chaos ability will reset the skills/stats? and clarify please, I didn't quite understood what you meant

So long as both units have the same hero skills available, they shouldn't unlearn any skills. Morph works perfectly fine for heroes; I would imagine Chaos does as well.

The only issue with chaos morphing a hero is that it will temporarily disable any auras that they have.. (For like 1 second really). Otherwise, everything stays the same, including their Proper Name, level, ability levels, etc.

I made a map for you to look at if you're not sure how to do it, it's just a Priestess of the Moon and a scout tower with infinite HP regen for you to shoot at, just click the "Light Arrows" ability to switch back and forth between the different attacks.

OR you can use an orb ability for it
