I made a hero that has a Bear form to morph to. I have it morphing back and forth fine, but is there a way to have certian skills on the reg hero, and others on the bear form?

Isnt the bear form just another unit? couldnt you add spells to that? If not, then you could create another spell modeled off of , say, bear form of a DOTC. Then you could give the normal unit some skills, and the bear unit some different spells.

hope that helps.

Well, I could do part of that.
I want the hero to be able to use the ability at lvl 6 which is no prob. But when he morphs into the bear, I want him to be able to learn skills as well
like have him lvl 6 Druid, and Lvl 1 bear. I mean I could do that via replace triggers, but I really would not like to use the triggers, I dont need extra triggers if they arent needed. Mostly what I would like is when the Hero transforms into the bear is to be able to have the hero be able to learn abilities and such.

Then just give the bear form some abilities.

Try giving the bear some learnable abilities and try to learn them, I cannot. It just gives the bear the abilities that the hero had, that is not what I want

You'll have to do replacement triggers, then. If you want to make it flawless, be sure you save control groups and variables before hero swap.

No, hero replacement things no way, that removes the hero and creates another one, the best would be to first save the hero in a variable, then hide the hero, and show an already hidden metamorphed version.

Try using "storm, earth and fire". The new unit won't be a hero, won't have items and such, but it can be a completely different unit with new abilities, attacks etc.

But isn't Storm, Earth and Fire on a timer like Avatar? Bear form lets you stay that way till you manually revert back I think.
