[General] Best way to do it?

[Fanny.Shaver]

I am trying to implement more than 12 upgrades in one structure. In the first place idea was to create a dummy unit below the main building and sub ability added to both of them, in the first one that switches to the dummy one, and in dummy a reserve. Technically it would work that way, however, upgrade started in dummy wouldn't show up in the main one and vice versa. My question is, how would you sort that out?

I was for a while considering using a spellbook system, but I never tried that in my life before.

Spellbooks are going to be quite hard then as there is no function to add research/upgrade.

Make the upgrades as abilities?

And how are they going to be researched in certain period of time?

Channeling?

 

[Fanny.Shaver]

Yeah, but the research bar is not going to be shown is it?

Yeah, but the research bar is not going to be shown is it?

Then make a custom one

When an upgrade is started from the dummy, stop it, add the upgrade to the main one and order it to research it instead.

 

[Fanny.Shaver]

Yeah, but then it will not be visible in dummy

 

[MortAr]

Then theres nothing you can do.

How can you do that?

Actually, Fortress Survival's Building [Command Center] has 5 upgrade tabs.
What they do is have up to 11 upgrades in [Commander Center (1)] then give it an Ability called [Next Page].
When that is casted, it is replaced with [Commander Center (2)].
To keep it smooth, make the player select the replaced structure.
Then you can swap back by casting [Previous Page].

I was considering doing that, I will just have to add some extra effect to make it more visible that this building is actually working on something.
