UI attack type icon won't show?

[MutantRex]

So, in my map that im making, the hero has no weapon - no attack - and when he gets his sword it enables his attack.

I've got all this figured out. How ever now my problem is when he gets the sword, the armor icon thing moves down (as if to make room for the attack type/damage ammount) but nothing appears... can do i fix this minor glitch?

Because right now, idk how much damage or anything my hero is doing...

Morph the hero.

the hero's item which gives him armor is a morph ability

if all else fail, replicate the unit and do a unit replacement. go to the object editor copy your unit paste him with his attacks and everything set up. add an editor suffix. go to your trigs and do something like

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit aquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Hero manipulating item) Equal to grand poo-bah <gen>
  • Actions
    • Unit - Replace grand poo-bah <gen> with a grand poo-bah(with sword) using The old unit's relative life and mana

Hmmm thats a good idea. but what about his learned spells and abilities?

hmm, maybe this might work. basically u need a integer variable(array) with how ever many possible skills plus 1, use the first array for the heroes level and the others as the other skills(make sure you maintain some order)

• untitled trigger
  • Actions
    • Set Herotransfer[1] = (Hero level of (Hero manipulating item))
    • Set Herotransfer[2] = (Level of {insert skill 1 here} for (Hero manipulating item))
    • Set Herotransfer[3] = (Level of {insert skill 2 here} for (Hero manipulating item))
    • Set Herotransfer[4] = (Level of {insert skill 3 here} for (Hero manipulating item))
    • Set Herotransfer[5] = (Level of {insert skill 4 here} for (Hero manipulating item))
    • Hero - Set (Last created unit) Hero-level to Herotransfer[1], Hide level-up graphics
    • Hero - Modify unspent skill points of (Last created unit): Set to ((Herotransfer[2] + Herotransfer[3]) + (Herotransfer[4] + Herotransfer[5])) points
    • Hero - Set (Last created unit) Hero-level to Herotransfer[2], Hide level-up graphics

remember, I would keep this as a last resort.

I don't know that this will work. I have never used integers in triggers but I believe this is what would be needed

• untitled trigger
  • actions
    • For each (Integer Herotransfer[2]) from 1 to Herotransfer[2], do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Hero - Learn skill for (Last unit created): {insert skill 1 here}
