how to enable morphing animation?

[ayumilove]

below is a description of the morphing problem im working on.

1. archmage1 activates metamorphosis ability
2. the archmage1 pause for 0.50 seconds, then become archmage2
3. once the timer runs out, archmage2 pause 0.5sec before changing back.

the problem is i cant get the black ball animation playing for start and end.
when i click metamorphosis, it wont show the black ball conversion
after the time runs out, it wont show the black ball conversion
Apart from that, i dont want the hero to pause then change, i want
to have a smooth change, meaning that once i click, it instantly do
metamorphosis animation and become another unit. This applies the same
when changing back.

i would need some trigger help from the pros!

below is my the code but its not working as i want it to be :banghead:

heroMorph spell

JUst so you know, i haven't read your entire post carefully so... this might not be the answer you want.
Okay....
1. I guess that the metamoprhosing hero has the model of an archmage? The black ball conversion doesn't show up because its: an animation that exists for the Demon hunter/the birth animation of the transformed demon hunter
2.Does the dummy unit have the metamorphosis ability?
That was a mistake i made alot of times >.< oh well
