Attachments disappear when I change unit's skin via triggers

[BrothForMyPeople]

Hello
I've made a trigger where standard paladin model changes to Uther when he takes specific item. Although, all attachments (like aura, buff etc. as well as custom attachments like shield or sword in left/right, hand) disappear when the skin changes. When I am buffed again and I drop the item (and I look like standard paladin again) it happens the same.
Any ideas how to prevent that?

Restoring buffs and aura effects seems tricky to me. For items, this is what I do to restore effects from items such as in your case shield or sword. I do the restoration after the skin has returned to normal but it may just as well be used just as the skin changes. To make sure dropping your item doesnt change the skin again "HideResetItems" bool is for this, the acquire and lose trigger has the condition that "HideResetItems" must be false.

This reset takes into consideration the following: Stacked items will return to their original slot and stack size. It will not interrupt orders. It cant occur if the unit is dead in which case it would drop all of its items and the unit would be restored anyway.

I just thought of a theory that units may be able to restore their effects the same way as hex restores shadows when changing unit skin. You may test this theory and return with the result, try this first. The post on how to do that is located as my lastest post here: [Trigger] - Change Unit Model by GUI

Thank you. I am.

Also to straight it up

To make sure dropping your item doesnt change the skin again "HideResetItems" bool is for this, the acquire and lose trigger has the condition that "HideResetItems" must be false.

It's actually my intention that the skin changes when the item is in inventory and it is supposed to change back when it's dropped as well.

Since that trigger drops all items in the units inventory and then gives them back to restore the effects of the items the HideResetItems bool is meant to temporarily disable triggers with the events Acquires an item or Loses an item. That entire trigger wont be needed anyway since I found that restoring the shadow with hex also restores buffs and effects. How to do that is in the thread I posted.
