[Solved] Maintaining spells on upgraded units

[Droof]

Issue: I have a TD map with a trigger that adds a total of 24 spells to targeted units. However once a unit is upgraded it looses the spell.

Workaround: I linked the spell to a custom unit number, and classify the spell with spell priority numbers, so that it "saves" the spell and the upgrading unit, keeping the spell on it.
However, this is not foolproof and sometimes the spell is still lost during/after an upgrade.

I could probably do it with hashables or something but I am not too familiar with them, and could use some help!

Triggers:

Spoiler: Adding the spell

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Phased Frenzy
  • Then - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Triggering player) Current lumber) Greater than or equal to 100
      • Then - Actions
        • Player - Set (Owner of (Triggering unit)).Current lumber to (((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current lumber) - 100)
        • -------- --------
        • Unit - Add Phased Frenzy (Icon) to (Target unit of ability being cast)
        • -------- --------
        • Set VariableSet AN = (Custom value of (Target unit of ability being cast))
        • Set VariableSet AbilityInt[AN] = (Ability: (Unit: (Target unit of ability being cast)'s Ability with Ability Code: Phased Frenzy (Icon))'s Integer Field: Priority for Spell Steal ('apri'))
        • Set VariableSet ShardUnit[AbilityInt[AN]] = (Target unit of ability being cast)
        • Set VariableSet ShardAbility[AbilityInt[AN]] = Phased Frenzy (Icon)
      • Else - Actions
  • Else - Actions

Spoiler: Unit Upgrade

• UpgradeSpell
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes an upgrade
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet AN = (Custom value of (Triggering unit))
    • For each (Integer AbilityInt[AN]) from 1 to 24, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Triggering unit) Equal to ShardUnit[AbilityInt[AN]]
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Add ShardAbility[AbilityInt[AN]] to (Triggering unit)
          • Else - Actions

Have you tried making the abilities permanent?

See Pyrogasm's post:

[Solved] - Adding Abilities to Illusions

I'm having a problem with the Mirror Image ability. The illusions don't have the passive abilities of their caster, like Critical Strike. But I think I know why: The casting unit does not have critical strike to start with - meaning it is added through triggers and not setup in the Object...
