You can't undo upgrades.

You can however use units as tech requirements. This is if your upgrades are for the purpose of allowing the training of addition units or the use of additional spells you don't wish to be available from the start. Beuty of using units as requirements is you can remove them and it has the effect of resetting research.

If your upgrades are for stat boosting or the like I guess you will have to trigger a result, save the result and remove it when your player/s want to.

as toofless said, i dont believe it's possible.. but you could either use some triggers and variables that contains the changes and you just remove them when you don't need them anymore.. or maybe you could add another line of upgrades but with the opposite effects, like the first upgrades increases the HP of units, and then just decrease it again with another set of upgrades.. but the problem here would be you can't reset and relearn the upgrades then..

so the only way i guess is using triggers.. go for some variables give them the values and trigger the effects, after you can easily set all to 0 and start again.. it should be more flexible, too.

You can set the level of an upgrade through triggers. Can't remember the exact names but I know it's in there, so something along the lines of:
Event:
Unit acquires item of type Tome of Retraining
Conditions:
Upgrade 1 is at level 0 equal to false OR Upgrade 2 is at level 0 equal to false
Actions:
Set level up tech for Player(triggering player) to 0

Try it, sorry if I don't have the correct names...

Ye that function is misleading I don't actually know what it's for because once an upgrade is researched it cannot be un-researched, even through that function.

You cannot downgrade upgrades, so this is not possible.

Case closed.

What a useless post. We are figuring out a work-around this is not helpful.

Like I said, that is totally impossible, you simply cannot reset it, it has been asked many many times over the hive, thehelper or at wc3c.

hm.. i even think its not possible used to find a way all day long.. no results.. there is a trigger that can set level of a research but nothing much it does.. .

ty for replys.. but would be happy if some1 had an idea.. about this.. ty. ( im gana change the upgrade thingy with something like ability casting.. or buying something instead of doing upgrade and controlling it with triggers.. ) ah too bad to change lot of things..

Hello there!

• Player - Set the current research level of Upgrade Mana to 0 for Player 1 (Red)

this trigger has worked in my case.
I had to reset the research updates for a rematch.

Best,
Meat

This didn't exist 13 years ago. If you search for other 4+ year old posts, you can find several things that were said to be impossible are now possible because 1.31 unlocked several previously impossible things.
