Help with: Crow Form Ability

Post by Panda-Assassin »

Can somebody tell me why it won't work when I give "Crow Form" (Belonging to Medivh) to another unit?? Because I'm planning to have a hero that can turn into a <winged animal> (dragon, bird etc) and fly to get away from trouble.

Also I want the ability to last for <# of seconds> before the here turns back into his/ her form to the nearest pathable/walkable area.

And would I need a trigger for this ability to enhance it or something along those lines??

It wont work because you cant transform from a hero unit into a regular unit. To transform into a regular unit, you have to first hide the casting unit, then create a crow at the casting units spot, wait however long you want it to last, pause crow, move casting unit to crows position, remove crow, unhide casting unit.

Or, you can just create a new hero, change the model, icon, and stats as you wish. Then just use an edited metamorphsis skill, if crow form isiant still working. However, with a quick look, i was unable to get the unit to show, it just showed the druid. Maybe im missing something, or it has something to do with animation...Idk ill work on it more later..just woke up not too long ago..
