Default Whats up with #shapechange?

It works in my Insect mod the way I want it too - in one direction if I assign it to original unit only. But it doesnt work the same in my new mod. Even when I assign it to only the original unit the shapechange works in both directions.
There is a bug I do not understand. If I assign the second unit as original the command works as intended. Problem is I need the first unit to be able to change shape not the second. I think maybe some other command interferes with shapechange.


Another bug? Couldnt limit "Rejuvenation" to magic beings by using #spec of 16.

There are some new strange bugs with shape changes since one of the recent patchs.

Twan you had problems with multiple shape changes. I'm having problems with only two units. If I give shapechange to A then B can change back to A for some reason. If I give shapechange to B then A cant change back to B. Weird...

What is the major difference between A and B? A copystat perhaps?

Amos, this is only a hypothesis, but perhaps the problem stems from Unit B having so many abilities?

Actually, even when I remove all the attributes the problem persists.

I've got it. For the one directional shapechange to work the unit B should go after the unit A in the mod file. Insane I know.

BTW, this explains your trouble with multiple changes.
