[Spell] How to change an item in shop when it's already bought?

[Atenath]

Hello guys. I've been trying for few hours to solve problem with buying abilities from shop.
All I want to do is that my hero could buy a ability from shop and later he could upgrade this ability via shop at some cost.

So I created a custom shop which has a custom ability and when my hero enters nearby he can successfully buy it. Until this moment everything is fine. But what I want is that when he buys an ability than the same ability upgrades automatically in a shop and my hero lately could buy it in higher level and at cost of some gold or lumber.

So questions is: How I can change ability (item) in shop?

P.S. If you can't understand me, ask me I'll try explain as I can.

Event: A unit Sells an Item
Condition: Item-Type of item bought == AwesomeSauce
Set item1 = Item of Type of Item Carried in slot 1 - 6 == AwesomeSauce

if (item1 equal to No Item == false)
{
replace item1 with AwesomeSauce Lvl 2
}

Psuedo code but it should work.

That will force you to let the upgrade be the same amount of gold.
And you cannot upgrade it when you have 6 items either.

Do you have a way to determine what unit is selected by the shop?

My shop is not an unit guys. I think you all know Dota, don't you? At beginning in dota you have to choose a hero, which is stored is some kind of store (I call it shop) the same thing is with my abilities they are at that place as heroes at beginning of dota. I need to know how to change that in game via trigger?

 

[LordDz]

Try the trigger above. It detects when you buy an item from a shop, the Goblin Merchant for example.

When you buy heroes from a "shop" you buy them from the tavern, it's in neutral passive - Buildings.

This isn't helping...

Do you HAVE TO remove this ability? can you not just increase its level by 1?

You can... however then you cannot change the icon.
Except for that... yea it works exacly the same.
