[General] How to add attachment when a unit upgrades – attachment is only for you

How to add attachment when a unit upgrades .
i tried this and it worked !

• Steam Shield
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes research
  • Conditions
    • (Researched tech-type) Equal to Steam Shield
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type |c00FFFF00Builder|r) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Add Steam Shield to (Picked unit)

but when we test it, when we upgrade one "Upgrades", all builders will wear it..
i want that, the one who upgrades the "Upgrades" is the only one who can wear it..
i tried to find the (Owner of (Picked Unit)) on the Action, but i can't find it.
What will i do ?

filter the player.

Just an attempt but remove Unit group and simply place this trigger:

• Unit - Add Steam Shield to (Researching unit)

This would as far as I know give the ability to the specific unit that researched the upgrade.

Hmmm.. it doesn't work, the attachment attach to the building ..

i will explain this map,


this is a TD map..
every players contains a builder.
and every builder can build a tower, especially the tower named "Delivery Car"
inside the delivery car, are the "Upgrades"..


this trigger is working, but the problem is, when i upgrade an Upgrade, All unit will get the attachment, and i want to do that, only the owner of the one who upgrades can only get the attachment:

• Steam Shield
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes research
  • Conditions
    • (Researched tech-type) Equal to Steam Shield
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type |c00FFFF00Builder|r) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Add Steam Shield to (Picked unit)

Then filter the owner of the researching unit

Then filter the owner of the researching unit

How ? sorry i'm newbie..

I would use ITE (If you don't want confusions).
Check if picked builder is owned by triggering player under the if block. (Under Player Comparison).
Then move the add ability to the then block.

Please, not everyone have time to write the triggers for you, so try to find it carefully first.

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type |c00FFFF00Builder|r) and do (Actions)

Change the highlighted text above with your modified version of this condition: Units Owned By Played Of Type

Research are always player specific.
Once you upgrade an upgrade, all units for the specific player get the benefit.

Then again, if I understand you correctly, you want specific unit to benefit from the upgrade. In this case, you shouldn't use an upgrade.

A workaround is to use abilities. Give the ability to your 'Delivery Car'. Then trigger:
Event
- A unit starts the effect of an ability
Condition
- Ability being cast Equal to Something
Actions
- Unit - Add Steam Shield to (Triggering unit)

Just this simple.
Again, only if I understand you correctly.

To mimic an upgrade, maybe making a buyable ability would be a possible workaround, right? I guess that could be it.

 

[Daffa]

If the upgrade have duration, that would be annoying, as abilities don't have duration for researching like method.
