Set Model?

[serb7]

how do i set a model for a unit through a trigger?

Edit: ok how can i cast a spell on a unit without the unit having the ability to cast the spell?

You cannot change the model of a unit. You can only replace the unit using either Chaos dummy ability or Unit-Replace.

I want to do a similar thing in my map, so I'll propose this question:
I'm using a Druid of the Claw model, and I want an ability to change his model to his Bear form. I was wondering if this was different, since it has the model in the model, is it possible to just add Animation tags via triggers?

you can make an ability to change a units model... im pretty sure (metamorphasis skill)...
and if this is true, you have just given me an idea!

create a dummy unit to cast the ability instead

ah... nice.... hmm... how would i have that unit cast the ability on a player who typed something like -model though?.... hmmm

oh wait, you cant do that with metamophosis, maybe try adding the ability to the unit, order it to use it and then remove the ability

(well technically you can, you can use a modified Hex so you create a dummy unit to cast on the unit)

you need to set your "heros" for each player in a unit array so you can refer to them.

set Hero[1] = player 1's unit
set Hero[2] = player 2's unit

Events: Player types "-model" as an exact match
Actions: Order dummy to cast on Hero[Player Number of Triggering Player]
