Lol ill try =P

The effect also looks insanely cool on the titan..

*Waits for the first scenario with a whole petrified city in it*

Awesome.

How can I make units NOT disappear after they have been "stoned" by Medusa?

I want a scarab stone statue in my scenario, which later will be transformed into a real scarab. Is that possible?

I remember a very old trick, with a living cyclops, that had been stoned. I have been searching for it quite some time, but I still can't find it. I had a lot of small tricks.

To stop it disappearing, you have to change the unit as it is getting stoned.

Wow, cool trick! With the transform effect, the units that cannot be stoned now can have the stone texture .

About keeping stoned unit alive (credits to Theorg): Convert it to another player.

P1 stoned unit convert ==> P2

(Notes: Wait for about 2 seconds before converting, or else the unit will die)

Edit: It appears that only stoned units can be kept alive, but burnt units will die no matter what, as they lose their health even if you use a looping healing effect.

ah love the screenies =)

The cool part about it is that you can change just how stoned the units are.

I stoned an egyptian titan, but it was only halfway through, so it looked like coloured stone =)

E.S. apparently knew about this.

ES used a different method there. IIRC, they would've placed a bunch of medusas and had them do their special attack on the other objects and then delete most of the medusas' and change the stoned units into the same unit so it would be permastoned - or something like that, my mind is rusty. There's an ancient thread about it somewhere here.

Yes, I recall of that thread. It's listed in the stickies!

They used the old method, which works just as good for only units stonable by the medusa.

Using the transform trigger, it can be done to almost any unit.

It is because the tansform keeps codings that change textures, etc.

I must admit, that transform trigger of mine does very wierd things!

Where do I download this trigger?

I believe nottud made a topic with a link to download the transform trigger. Try doing a forum topic search for "transform" -- it should come up.

Also now added link to it on my signature.

How do you stone "halfway through"?

you can set how much you want the stony texture on the unit by when you tell it to change.

put to good use. see the following maps
