Transform Spells

[kiogra]

Hi, Ive got one more problem with my game, and this will probably be the last one.

Im barely into making spells(Only editting spells pretty much right now ), Ive made a transformation one. I Copyed the "Bear Form" spell and editted it a bit, like the description, normal unit, transforming unit, things like that.
Now when i try to use that spell, it doesnt do any thing. The hero doesnt change units. Should i trigger it? And if i have to trigger it, how would i make a de-activate trigger? Thx. :banghead:

I don't think you should trigger it. There must be something that you may have accidently missed out. Did you make sure you editted duration - hero, and some other stuff (can't remember all stats of bear form). Maybe screenshot the editor screen or something to show us.

The duration is at 0.00, but that should make it un-limited.

BTW: ill get a screen shot in a sec maybe

Try making duration 1.45, as it is not the duration of the spell, but how long it takes for the unit to transform. It may make a difference, it may not. I think i hada problem with setting duration to 0.00 with burrow, and something similar happened.

Just take note, WE is weird with some spells. Metamorphis is one of them. Try to use 0.01 instead of 0.00 when something doesn't work. Transform spells are odd.
:thup:

Also, make sure the casting unit and the unit you are being transformed into is of the same type, when morphing both the caster and the unit you will become must be hero or unit meaning that a hero can not morph into a unit.

It's a good idea to always put 0.01 for something you don't want any time for, and 0.00 if you want infinite (make sure you test to see if it works).

I came in the habit when I starting findings bugs in my codes, and it turned out to be a value in the ability editor had been set to 0, and was making something last forever.

THIS WORKED! partly... The transforming is great, if i click the spell it transforms and stuff, but it starts out as the transformed unit, how would i reverse it, so its the normal unit first?..

Might be buggs in the animations, for example if you use metamorphis with another unit than Illidan it's a risk for seeing Illidan a short sec before he morph or unmorph. Test to set the unit duritation to 0 (time of the casting)

 

[Kenny]

Make sure that:

Alternate Form unit - Is the unit you want to transform into

and

Normal Form unit - Is the unit the hero normally is

Btw, weren't your units the same type to begin with?

that would of made things a lot easier lol.

doesnt seem to be working

Tried to trigger it though, Works perfect!

E - Elapsed Game Time 0.10
C -
A - Replace (my Units) with (my other unit)
Did something like that

 

[Prometheus]

I'm going to say right now. Replace Unit can be buggy. I made a transform spell using that and after a few transforms, I ended up with 4 heroes.

The best i could say is, USE CROW FORM AS YOUR BASE SKILL ...
