Upgrading/Researching Problems

Does anyone in the hive knows how to create an upgrade in which an only one unit is affected and that is the triggering unit of course...

I posted this in the trigger section because I think trigger is the only solution.

Go to your unit and scroll to Tecthree - Upgrades used and place the upgrade. When you run the upgrade via (Player - Set current research level of Upgrade for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) to 1), it will be applied only on the unit that has the upgrade.

Sorry... I think my explanation is not clear. But I want is like this, for example, I have 6 Townhall and each of them has the upgrade Fortify and I ordered 1 Townhall to upgrade Fortify. Then only 1 Townhall will be benefited from the upgrade but not the 5 remaining ones...

Hm, never came into such an issue, but I guess you can use something like this:

• For each (IntegerA) from 1 to (Number of living Townhall owned by (Owner of (Triggering unit))), do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Player - Set Current research level of Fortify to 1 for (Owner of (Triggering unit))

I haven't tested it though, so don't take this solution for granted.

I am afraid you can't use upgrades for this, as they only apply globaly. (However it may be possible to use upgrades that "transfer with unit ownership", then just use neutral player that has this upgrade, and change the town halls owner to this player and back to previous owner. However I am not sure whether "transfer with unit ownership" even means what I just described, as I never used it)

If that doesn't work, maybe you could just create another version of town hall with fortify on, and use the "upgrade to" feature. That would fail if you wanted to use fortify independently on town hall/fortress/castle upgrade.
In that case you would need some sort of dummy unit, and just add an ability when the town halls builds this unit.

EDIT: transfers with unit ownership does something completely different than I though, so that option is unavaiable. So the only way would be using "upgrades to" or some dummy unit.
