Making abilities stick

I have a trigger to add an ability to a unit if he acquires an item.

JASS:

    if GetItemTypeId(GetManipulatedItem())=='gopr' then
        if UnitHasItem(GetManipulatingUnit(),GetManipulatedItem()) then
            call UnitAddAbility(GetManipulatingUnit(),'A040')
        else
            call UnitRemoveAbility(GetManipulatingUnit(),'A040')
        endif
        return
    endif

It works fine expcept for this. If it is a morphing hero such as alchemist, then he loses the ability when casting chemical rage "morphs". How do I make the ability to stick on them?

MercyfulJester	By giving it to them again when they morph. Make a boolean, which tells if the hero has learned the ability. Then make a check every time Morph is cast and if the boolean is True, add the ability to the hero.

blu_da_noob	Much easier way: JASS: call UnitMakeAbilityPermanent(GetManipulatingUnit(),true,'A040') Put it after you add the ability (call it with false before removing the ability I guess, just to be safe).

The_AwaKening	Ah thank you. I knew there was a way but wasn't sure of the command.
