Real JASS function?

I was wondering if there was some function that would be able to return what model a unit has, and also a function to change the model of a character in-game.

I wanted to throw a little teaser in my map and thought something like "Kawarimi" (from Naruto) would be a funny idea.

I have been working with JASS for only a few months now, so sorry for asking a newbish question T.T.

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,

There are no such natives in Jass.


Darn, so the only theoretical way to do this then would be to store all of the stats in a variable, keep the spells, and replace units? (Or something similar... I just jotted this down quickly).


Thanks for the help.

Or you can learn C+ and C++ to inject your own blizzard.j inside the map with your own function and your own effect. But I never exploited Warcraft 3 program scripts, (not .j, but .exe and all the rest), so I do not know how you will do that.

I was learning slight C++ before, however I didn't get very far into it.

I could actually do that? I didn't know that :\

Thanks! I may do that if I ever get back into learning C++.

Seriously, this isn't something that you should suggest as a solution. First of all it will render the map unplayable on bnet and a player whould probably need an extra .exe just to load the map.

Hmm. Yes, it would be hard and it isn't really a solution. ;)

phyrex1an did a double kill on me. :p
So do I on myself. :confused:

It isn't a noobish question.

So, there would be no way to accomplish this, for the exception of a really long trigger, that saves all the stats/spells, saves that character to game cache, creates a new unit of the same type (as the target), and add stats to that?...

Well if you want to replace a unit's model the best way would be to make a new unit with the same stats and a different model. Then use like ReplaceUnitBJ(unit, newunitID, unitstatemethod) To switch out the old unit with the new one. Not sure how this handles hero's items etc.
