Auto Upgrade after research completion trigger

[Xlainvous]

I've seen it used in other maps, and I think I've seen it on the forums, but I cannot remember where it's located. I'm trying to add a trigger that will automatically upgrade a unit when the required research is completed. If anyone can direct me to the trigger, it would be very much appreciated.

You could try with actor events under the unit's actor data. That way you can change the unit model without needing to change the unit type. Nothing stops you giving the same unit actor multiple units but equally well you could give the same unit multiple actors as long as only 1 is ever created at a time.

To change the unit data type used you can use the morph ability. Just do not give it a command card button and make sure it has a requirement to prevent hackers from using it until the upgrade completes. Do keep in mind that buff behaviours and modifiable unit properties are highly flexible so there really is not a needed to change the base unit type.

Berserker Upgrade?

Why don't you do this? Make a variable of type unit group called, for example, OldUnits then do this:

• Events
  • Unit - (The Researching Structure) Finishes research
• Conditions
  • (Researched tech-type) Equal to (Your research)
• Actions
  • Set OldUnits = (Units owned by (Owner of (Researching Unit)) of type (Old Unit Type)
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in OldUnits and do (Unit - Replace (Picked unit) with a (Upgrade Unit) using The old unit's relative life and mana)
  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_OldUnits)

@Shadow Fury, that function (Pick Every Unit of Type) is leaking handles in it's function. I recommend to use Pick Every Unit Matching Condition instead as the condition one, in my memory it doesn't leak.
