Trigger upgrade

[x-tapp]

Hi i was wondering how i can apply a upgrade by a trigger.

The thought is:
i want to make an item which changes the units armor (light,fortified,hero..)
A unit picks up an item (the armor) , the item is triggered to start a upgrade which changes to armor type.
But i don't know how to simply enable a upgrade by a trigger
help?

You can't remove upgrades from the unit. So I would stick on adding an ability to the unit, instead researching the armor.

The only thing is that no ability changes armour type. Or is there?

PS: He's right though. Downgrading doesn't work :S

So either don't change armor types or CnP the unit with all armor types.

downgrading works if you have another research with the initial value and research this then

But not endless.

We need endless downgrading / upgrading.

yeah i have tried to change the armor by an ability, but i couldn't make it work. The upgrade worked do, but not fully
I picked up the triggered item and the units armor changed to
Heavy from Unarmored
then i triggered it to apply a upgrade which reversed it and set the Heavy upgrade to 0 when it was dropped by the hero.
The hero could pick the item up one time and drop it one time and everything would work. But not the second time do when he was dropping it

Yes, that's sadly known for ages now.

Why not just create many heros, all with different armor but same otherwise, and when you pick up the item, it replaces your hero with the hero with that type of armor, and vice versa, it should work.

You would have to transfer the items and XP too
