well, i've been working on a spell which uses different transformations for every level of his skill. but the problem is, any morphing abilities that i used are not capable of doing this.

any help?

i dont have the editor open, but have yo looked into the druid morphin abilitys?

and if those dont work, you could trigger the whole thing. Simply by making new hero when the player levels up the spell, storing these units in variables (arrays if it needs to be multi-instanceable) and when the spell is cast, change the ownership of the origional hero to neutral passive, move it away somewhere, move the morph hero in to position, add timed life to it, and start a timer thats is (timed life time - 3).

now if the morphed from hero dies, you will need to kill the origional hero (FIRST) then change the ownerships of the units. (and stop the timer.)

if the timer expires, change the ownership and switch their places, de-buff the morphed from hero (thus removing the expiration timer) and toss in some nice special effects.


not an easy thing to do if you are not good with triggers ^^' i may have missed something, but you should get the just of it. (and yes, i dont actually open up the WE and make a trigger for you :P it helps people much more to make them learn how to do some things on their own.)

Tim.
Just to clear things up, any unit-changing abilities such as those cannot be multiple levels. Thats just the way it works.
