Destroyer Form Gold/Lumber/Food/Mana glitch

[D!ma]

Hey ya’ll so I’ve been trying to get one of my units to change into another as a form of upgrade without triggers (sorta like a footman into captain so on).

Well, once I compare obsidian statue and destroyer, if you change destroyer gold or lumber cost in editor, it changes in game (ie. if u make it 200->220, then the destroyer form cost more.)

The issue arises when i’m trying to substitute destroyer w/ other units. It doesn’t matter what you change the aforementioned stats to, it will remain the whatever default unit’s price tag.

Anyone else stumble into this and figure out what to do about it? Or is it just something that’s a hard coded pain in the rear? Thanks!

In the unit editor, make sure to fill in that field with the unit you are morphing into, I know that some problems with morphs are due to this, maybe it'll help

Hey! Great idea but unfortunately that didn’t work

So let villager=obsidian statue and apprentice wizzard=destroyer

Ive put dependency into villager for AW, checked it true in ability’s “check dependency” still same old cost.

What does somewhat work but not a great fix is when I get like a completely dif unit (like les say mortar team) and change everything from attack to model to be AW, it ends up using the mortar teams costs and as with AW, changing gold or lumber costs doesn’t change it it.

Morphing Units

Hello there, I’m trying to create a system in my map where a unit can morph into various other units, which can then morph back into the initial unit. But have the resources spent to morph into the unit initially be refunded in full when they do. so for instance unit 1 morphs into unit 2 for...

I think upgrade cost mechanics might depend on if you are using latest melee balance or not. One of the Reforged patches changed how melee data processes upgrade costs, and that might affect the Obsidian Statue/Destroyer.
