Hello everybody i have a kinda complicated issue :

I made a hero that uses a spellbook type of spell each level he gets a new spell in the spell book,
the other spell it haves is the chaos thing and now the problem is that for example if the hero had lvl 2 spell book when i learn the chaos and morphs in the second unit (i added the spellbook to the second unit its not that) the spellbook stays there but its empty,but when i learn it to lvl 3 the spell reappear in the spell book anybody knows whats wrong ???

Did you make the learned ability (on level1) permanent? If not, then make it, else i don't really have any idea without taking a look.

i mean the learned ability (which you add later into the spell book).
you can make it permanent with this command.
Collapse JASS:
native UnitMakeAbilityPermanent     takes unit whichUnit, boolean permanent, integer abilityId returns boolean

ehm let me explain you a little better the thing :)

my hero haves a Support Wards spell - at lvl 1 he gets 1,lvl 2 he haves 2 (gets a new ward) and so on

and when i have it on some level it haves x number of spells as soon as i apply the chaos thing he turns and he still haves the ward spell but no ward,then when you learn the next lvl it gets all the spell :D i dont know how much that can help since the spells are made in the spell list i do not add them manualy

BTW - I suck in jass :( so forgive me :)

Eeek...Chaos is really, really dodgy. As in, avoid if at all possible.

Does anybody then know another way of changing the unit model without using chaos

to be precise i want my orc warlock to change into a chaos/fel warlock

You could add bear / crow form, order the unit to cast it and remove it then.

Is he getting Chaos while the spellbook is open?

If you 'learn' the spell with triggers then you shouldnt have a problem, it should work ok.

The bug you refer to is a known bug.
