Night Elf Tree: From Unit to Building?

[xigon]

Is there a way to make a Hero with a NE Building(Tree of Life specifically) model have the ability to root and uproot?

The basic concept is that the Hero uses his ult(root), thus becoming immobile and gives out a healing aura. I also want it to stay a Hero-Type unit while in building states.

Is it possible?

A Q that has some link: How do add an effect to a model without putting any buff/ability. Just sticking a effect to a model? Like, the 3 evolution of the Tree of Life has butterflies flying around yet it is the same model as the first age, excpet with butterflies. How do we achieve this?

Instead of a building, maybe you can just make it like a shape shift to look like rooting, and just making the shape shifted form look a building/stationary

And for the sfx (i.e. butterflies)

• sfex
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Triggering unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\TalkToMe\TalkToMe.mdl
