You can't. You can get its name, but not set it.

I don't know if you know already or not but the only other way to do it would be to make a lot of units like that in the object editor with different names and then just swap units.

That is what I did originally for Battle for Hoth. Then you just place all the units into a unit-type array and call them.

well it should be possible to change the unit name since u can "call" it in a trigger... it is because i would like to only use 1 unit, but change its name to something different. It would save alot of space of memory Oo

well i will look further into this subject ^_O

another question, do any of you guys have my map; Pyramid TD ? if you have so, plz send it to me.. cause i got a load of nice triggers in that map ;)

thx for the help ;)

Did Blizz ever fix the bug where units with an aura buff (life Devotion Aura) would get the aura bonus (in this case, the +armour) added to the new units base stats?

yes they did.
If the old unit had an aura, the new unit will stay under it effects for a while tho. But you can just remove that by buff.
