I gave a Mountain King the Stone Form ability which turns it into a Mountain Giant. It is also a hero ability and has 5 levels. The Mountain Giant also has a Spiked Carapace ability so that it can still deal damage to units that attack it. I need help in leveling the Spiked Carapace ability to the same level of the Stone Form ability. The problem is that I can't figure out how to locate the Mountain Giant. (I can't figure out how to do actions on morphed units) |

Code:
Events A unit Starts the effect of an ability Conditions (Ability being cast) Equal to Mountain Form Actions Set UnitVar = (Triggering unit) Unit - Add Stalagmite Armor to UnitVar Set IntegerVar = (Unspent skill points of UnitVar) Unit - Set Level of Stalagmite Armor for UnitVar to (Level of Mountain Form for (Triggering unit)) Hero - Modify unspent skill points of UnitVar: Set to IntegerVar points There is the trigger. Doesn't work. |

try casting unit... |

Casting unit doesn't work either. [I found out that Stone Form doesn't change the proper name of the hero.] |

Does anybody know if they can set a morphed unit into a unit variable? |

I figured out what was wrong. The unit remains the same (It's still the triggering unit), but I have to put a wait on it so that the unit has time to morph, then I can perform actions on it. |

i thoght that was a given 0.o remmeber to used polled waits! |

And remember about the bug with cast event responses and waits. Lord Vexorian experimented with this and it turned out that "triggering unit" wasn't as buggy as "casting unit" and could still be used to some extent with waits, but I don't remember the details regarding this. Edit: Just tested a bit and "triggering unit" seems to work quite without problems. Just use that and not "casting unit" and you should be ok. The only thing you need to worry about when using cast event responses and waits are "target point of ability being cast" or "target unit of ability being cast" event responses. |
