[Trigger] Adding buildings to specific constructor's build menu

[Cayne]

Basicly, what I want to do it make a builder that uses certain items (blueprints) to add buildings to his build menu. I've been working on this quite a long time but I haven't had any luck finding proper actions to get this done. And it only applies to the constructor who used the blueprint, no other constructor of his kind, even on the same team gets the building. Any help is appreciated.

Give the builder all the buildings that you can get off any blueprint in the Object Editor, then on Map Initialization in Triggers, disable his ability to build all those. Have another Trigger that says when he uses 'Blueprint - Castle', it re-enables him to build that blueprint.

Now would this effect all builders of his type or just his one instance?

Every builder.

Disabling/Enabling abilities works for players, not units.

 

[Cayne]

Is there a way this can be done on a per-builder basis?

Adding abilities ?

• Untitled Trigger 004
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Uses an item
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to itemTypeVariable[Integer A]
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Add ability[Integer A] to (Triggering unit)
          • Else - Actions

You should know what the other trigger (declaring items/abilities) needs to be since I helped you with this kind of stuff before. Didn't I ?

I tried with adding abilities but there isn't anything pertaining to buildings with those.

Just make the blueprint like the ivory tower item, so it creates that blueprint as a building, which you can research the ability to make the building. After researching (basically instant research) it is destroyed.

Thanks for the help guys, I think I've figured out how I can make this work
