... different heroes don't have the same spells? That's the problem...

Apart from that, I think the ability you're looking for is called Bear Form or Metamorphosis, although you need to set something in gameplay constants for Metamorphosis to be cancellable.

Also, temporary or permanent morphing?

Something along these lines :

• // Hand-written
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) equal to {My item's ability}
  • Actions
    • -------- If you want to be able to morph back, use this line to find the unit later --------
    • Hashtable - Save (Triggering unit) as 0 of (Key (Owner of(Triggering unit))) in Hashtable
    • Set loc = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Set loc2 = (Center of AnyRegion <gen>)
    • Unit - Create 1 {Unit-type} at loc2
    • Unit - Set Life of (Last created unit) to (Life percentage of (Triggering unit)) %
    • Unit - Set Mana of (Last created unit) to (Mana percentage of (Triggering unit)) %
    • -------- Give items --------
    • For each Integer A from 1 to 6, do (actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • -------- I can't remember how to give an item to another unit without orders --------
        • -------- and I'm using my Linux, so... ---------
    • -------- Loop ends --------
    • Unit - Hide (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Move (Last created unit) to loc
    • -------- Ain't sure about this line, and I think it uses a unit group (so watch out for leaks) : --------
    • Player - Make (Owner of(Triggering unit)) select (Last created unit)
    • Custom Script : call RemoveLocation(udg_loc)
    • Custom Script : call RemoveLocation(udg_loc2)

The hardest part is to transfer the abilities. The easiest solution is to let the user choose his abilities himself.

Nah, abilities wouldnt be that hard, use a loop, get the abilities set into an array, and also stats, stats would need to be transferred over too, at least I think so

 

[Ashlebede]

Stats, indeed, would also require the equation to be entered and would need an array as well... but you might as well just hardcode it all, if you're going to make a 'constant array'... it can be done, though.

If it's permanent, you could try adding modified Chaos abilities to the items. Maybe it'll work the same way as adding it directly to the unit, which transforms them.
