Recreate Siege Engine Availability?

[aple]

I'm wondering how to recreate how the Siege Engine gets upgraded. I know it is under the Upgrade, Change Unit Availability. But how do I make the upgraded unit disabled at first?

Edit: If you say triggers, I will reject it. Triggers are absolutely last resort. I could easily make this with Triggers, but I'm trying to make as much of it as possible actually use the Data Editor. =p

I attempted to recreate it myself with little success. My only explanation is that it is hardcoded.

If anyone has something else to say about it I'd be interested too.

I was thinking that myself, but it couldn't be or else that Enabled / Disable thing in upgrades would be almost useless.

Than again, Blizzard is known to do that...

On another note, I'm having issues with this trigger.

• Part 1
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Disable Harvest (Ghouls Lumber) (Faster) for Player 1 (Red)

It doesn't disable it. Would it have to do with this trigger?

• Part 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes research
  • Conditions
    • And - All (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Graveyard
        • (Researched tech-type) Equal to Caviated Forearm
  • Actions
    • Player - Disable Harvest (Ghouls Lumber) for Player 1 (Red)
    • Player - Enable Harvest (Ghouls Lumber) (Faster) for Player 1 (Red)

I'm not sure why disable won't work on any harvest ability no matter what. It appears to work on all the other spells I tried.

The below triggers should work as an alternative though. Let me know how it works out.

Alternative

• Existing
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes research
  • Conditions
    • (Researched tech-type) Equal to Caviated Forearm
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Owner of (Researching unit)) of type Ghoul) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Remove Harvest (Ghouls Lumber) from (Picked unit)
        • Unit - Add Harvest (Ghouls Lumber) (Faster) to (Picked unit)
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

• Trained
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Ghoul
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Current research level of Caviated Forearm for (Owner of (Trained unit))) Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Add Harvest (Ghouls Lumber) (Faster) to (Trained unit)
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Add Harvest (Ghouls Lumber) to (Trained unit)

Geez, that's some annoying stuff.

Your trigger worked, thanks man. You're awesome.
