Confused about Unprovoked stat gains...

[Pronoun]

Sorry about all the questions recently, but I've got another.
I have a gargoyle hero who has the stone form ability which changes him into (an alternate hero) stone version of himself. This all works fine, but when he changes back into himself, he has like +19 damage factored into his damage. he is agility type and has 19 agility, so I'm sure that the agility is being refactored into his damage. And every subsequent level after that, it is being readjusted to factor in double his primary stat. I think I have noticed this problem with other characters too; they have damage that seems way too high. I thought it might have something to do with triggers, so I disabled the triggers that gave his stone form an aura, but it still factored it in. Is there some gameplay constant or something simple like that that would solve my problem or is it something deeper? Sorry for such a long problem, but it really is the source of many of my map's problems (gameplay-wise).

The problem isn't just cosmetic, it actually adds to the damage.

Anyone have an idea at all? It's a really big problem that kinda hinders my progress.

yes it's something with adjsting between 2 forms i've had the same problem with the ethereal ability and i think you should use bear form and bse it off that instead and put the alternate form to a statue gargoyle. try that it might work

Okay, I tried using Bear Form to make the ability, but to no avail. I then tried to use Metamorphosis, as it is a hero ability that essentially changes the unit into another for a time, but again it refactored the unit's primary stat twice. I don't know any other abilities, but maybe if it doesn't work I can try using triggers to simulate the ability.

ok hmmm. well i don't know ill ask ryoko about "he's my friend" and i KNOW he'll know lol

I think its because the original stone form is a unit ability.

Try using Illidans morph ability, which was designed for heros at the start.

I have used that before with no problems.

Okay, I realized what I did wrong, I didn't base the alternate unit off of Illidan's alternate, but I could swear that I have noticed unusual stat gains on other units. I guess if I notice anything else, I'll let you know.

BTW, my game is nearing the final stages. I have a bunch more heros to make, but after that I'll probably need to test it out for balance and whatnot, but when I finish with it, I'll post it here for all of you.

 

[XXXconanXXX]

ok can i be a tester of the map?

No problem. I actually have the majority of it done. It's an AoS type of map, and I won't say it isn't similar to Dota. I already have like 24 heros done, but I have lots of ideas for more, so I'll probably keep making more heros for a while, but it shouldn't take me long at the pace I've been going.
