Changing Prices

[ThisPOT]

Is there a way, through triggers, to change the price of a unit or item (without replacing the unit/item)?

Thanks!

On what Event do you want this system to be executed ?
Chat Message ?
Activates Ability ?
Entering Area ?
Completing Quests ?

Perhaps, you can use a fully customized Shop System, where the all the items cost 0 gold and 0 lumber (if you're using lumber) and the only way to trigger the money reduction is fully based on triggers.

Hmmm but the tooltips won't change :/... What I am trying to do is upgrades for single units (not unit types). Like an upgrade for this specific one minigunner.

If the upgrade has no time-waiting-requirement, you can use an ability to instantly upgrade that ability and quickly remove the "upgrade" (ability) from the unit once it has activated it.

Hmmm I was trying to avoid making 1 000 000 abilities ;P... Any other way you can think of? If not it's ok never figured that one out (besides a ton of abilities or dummy "sell units" (better most the time for this))

 

[defskull]

1 000 000 abilities ?
That's a total bullshit >.>"

You're just gonna need 1 dummy ability, that's all, no believe me ?

Wait, I'll try to create the system for you

 

[ThisPOT]

1 ability per upgrade though? And per price right?

 

[defskull]

Same unit type (Footman) but having different upgrade ?
How does this system is executed ?

Please tell me

I mean, how does the price change in the game, depends on.. what ?

I was thinking that every Footman has same ability, and when Footman1 upgrades it, Footman2 still has the upgrade and the upgrade got by Footman1 does not affect to Footman2

If following to default Blizzard upgrades, it basically upgrades every units for the players (1 upgrade per player)

What I'm doing is 1 upgrade per unit

What I currently have is this:

That's exactly what I need, the price changes is just an increase in price every time they use the upgrade (each upgrade needs 100 lvls... =o)

 

[defskull]

How many upgrades does it have (maximum amount) ?

Dude, explain as detail as you can..

 

[ThisPOT]

100 lvl per upgrade, price raises every upgrade, all I need ;D sorry lol

 

[defskull]

So there's basically infinite amount of upgrade you can have ?
You're kidding me, right ?

There is no "infinite" in computers.

And what kind of upgrade, the ones that I gave you is just an example dude

 

[ThisPOT]

All I need is an example I don't want to have you do the whole thing for me (you got a lot to do). Thanks a lot for helping all the time, with this I'll be able to do what I wanted easy (raise lvl of abil until lvl 100 and at 100 remove it, each lvl raises the "hidden" ability).

On another note, would you know why this model makes my game lag (I barelly put 1500 scattered around as destructibles and it's terrible choppy): https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums...-blue-50663/?prev=search=tiberium&d=list&r=20

If you had said that this upgrades stops after 10 time upgrade, that will be much easier
I wonder what you said this: "100 lvl per upgrade" actually means "The upgrade can be upgraded is 100 times and that's it", or is it the wrong way ?
I thought you said that the upgrade needs 100 level per upgrade interval

Level 1 Upgrade: Level 100
Level 2 Upgrade: Level 200
Level 3 Upgrade: Level 300
And so on...

So, this thread is considered as Solved, am I right ?

About that destructibles, I don't know, not my field as I'm aware.

 

[ThisPOT]

Solved, thanks a lot. Damn, hoped you may have known...

PS: You should be aware ;o...
