Hello I need help making a evolution type upgrade. When you purchase a upgrade how do you make it so a new one takes it's place?

if its an upgrade of a single type, you can just add levels to the upgrade...

as I said, it's only if the upgrades is of one type...
example:
a successive damage upgrade...
or if the effects of the upgrade is applied via triggers (meaning the upgrade is just actually a dummy), you can also use that method...
if not, there's no possible way to directly add a new upgrade to a unit/building... so you will need to replace the building...
or use dummy abilities for the visible upgrade button, then just trigger the upgrade itself... though you won't be able to see the upgrade bar using this method...
or if you need the bar, just create one upgrade (this will be a dummy), add some levels to it... then use that upgrade, now when the upgrade finishes, use triggers to set the level of the actual (real) upgrade to the desired level...

I need 3 upgrades for each unit. When one upgrade is used it beings up the second upgrade which will evolve that unit a second time. So I need a trigger to make that one upgrade researchable.

Adiktuz already gave you the answer, why make it more difficult for yourself?

can you explain the evolve part? if its something applied via triggers or a simple bonus damage, or even something like bonus damage + armor (A single upgrade can have up to 4 effects), then using just 1 upgrade with 3 levels (per GUI unit-type) will the be the easiest way

From what i understand, each unit will have that upgrade (separately) and since upgrades are global, it's better not to use...um...upgrades. You can simulate it though, make a dummy unit trainable and once the training finishes, remove the dummy and apply the effect you want on the unit that trained it.
