Another Transformation Hassle

Ok, well, I searched and viewed the results for "transform". I was looking for a way to get a hero to have a transformation ability like that of a druid of the claw, for example.

Unfortunately, none of the threads I looked through showed me a solution, so here I am.

I'm looking to have a hero that can freely go back and forth between two forms. And, I do know from reading that this is going to be a problem: His normal form is grounded and his second form's a flyer.

I tried metamorphosis at first, even though you can't freely change back, and the result was strange. I should mention that the second form is a copy of the original unit with just different abilities/flight/tint/etc.

The hero would take on the properties of the second form (the abilities/flight/etc.), but the tint would remain the same. The weird part is that when the metamorphosis ended, it took back the properties of the original unit, but then took the tint of the second form. It was odd. I didn't test enough to see if it was criss-crossing the units, so to say, but I figured I'd post my problem here to get some help from more people.

Ultimately, please suggest to me any method that you think would give me the effect I'm looking for. Thank you.

You can try with some of the newer transformation spells, such as robo-goblin and chemical rage. In gameplay constants, you can toggle for most, if not all morphing spells, to be either toggleable or timed. Unless you want to keep the original spells the way they are, you can modify any morph spell to suit your needs. Amongst all of them, you should be able to find one that doesn't have such strange quirks (metamorphosis is from RoC, back then, they didn't think so much about making spells mod friendly as they do now)

Druid of the Talon goes from ground to air and back. That is what I used in Batle for Hoth for the Lambda Shuttle landing abilities. It works just fine as long as the model has an animation that runs during the change.
