Hey Guys, I have a beam effect that hits a target and causes it to morph into a different unit. This worked for the most part until I hit a weapon cap of 64. So I can't use morph. I'm trying to use the trigger effect called "replace unit" but if I do that the beam disappear(not the same unit anymore). I need the beam to stay on him b/c its suppose morph back once the beam is ever broken(applies buff). Anyone know how I can do this? maybe replace isn't the right command. I don't know all the ins and outs of trigger editor.

Thanks for the help, Turok

I think you really need to use morph abilities for this. What's the limitation you encountered, weapon cap of 64? Each unit could have its morph ability to change to whatever it's supposed to when hit by the beam.

The problem is when you link units together with morph it considers it one unit. So there is no way to make the morph work.

Anyone have an idea?

Also is there a way to change a effect's target using triggers? If there is then I can just replace the unit then apply the effect to the new unit.

Maybe start a new beam on the new unit to simulate the beam staying on the unit?

Not just like that, no.

You dont "link" units with morph.... you morph the unit that is morphing into another... there is no limitation on this..... damn near half the units in game can morph

You may need to use a different morph ability for each unit......

then on the effect that activates the morph you need a switch effect that tests the type of unit.... and does the appropriate morph
