Icon Troubles

[mordocai]

Hey guys, i was wondering how can i make it so that when i use metamorphasis, one of my abilities transforms into anotherone, like an icon change but keeps the same position and everything?

an example of this is immolation. when immolation is activated, the icon changes into another one. you can do this by adding an "Art-Icon-Turn Off" icon. choose whatever icon you want here

Im pretty sure there is no off function for Metemorphis. You might need to trigger useless abilities and just replace them with triggers.

well i mean he uses ulti(based off metamorphasis), and one of his spells upgrades into another while in that form, then when hes not in it, it changes back

Use triggers. Make sure that your hero has two ability. The metamorphosis and the other icon . Then at map ini disable the 2cnd spells for the owner of your hero.
Then when casted do a tirgger like this (Make sure both spells have the same 'icon location')

• Meth
  • Events
    • Unit - Start the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to < >
  • Actions
    • Player - Disable spell 1 for owner of (Triggering unit)
    • Player - Enable spell 2 for owner of (Triggeing unit)

Use a fixed button position?
As for keeping everything, I think disabling/enabling works

 

[simonake]

What i meant, bOb, is in the object editor, there's a line called 'attach location'(x),(y) or something like this. I wanted him to set it as the same so when an icon is disabled it appears at the same 'icon location'

Is the Bear Form ability not just this?
