[General] Unit Begins Upgrade Issue

[Gumberbunbder]

Hello, In my map your make structures by upgrading circles of power to buildings. The circles of power are invulnerable. I want to make it so when you begin upgrading them to buildings they become vulnerable. Also, if you cancel the upgrade they become invulnerable again.

• Trigger 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins an upgrade
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Tower Plot (1)
  • Actions
    • Unit - Make (Triggering unit) Vulnerable

• Trigger 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Cancels an upgrade
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Tower Plot (1)
  • Actions
    • Unit - Make (Triggering unit) Invulnerable

This system isn't working. The upgrading building remains invulnerable. Any help is appreciated, thank you

Make the circle of power a normal building. Give it the invulnerable ability. Trigger add/remove the ability.

Its targeting is probably still invulnerable in the object editor thats why it doesn't work

It was a good idea, i tried what you said but it didn't work. Yeah, it is a structure with the invulnerable ability.

• Trigger 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins an upgrade
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Tower Plot (1)
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove Invulnerable (Neutral) from (Triggering unit)

What is it targeted as? Does it have a classification?

 

[Gumberbunbder]

Its just mechanical like other structures. Its kind of annoying how the editor had event types like "Upgrades to" but doesn't have event responses like "upgrading unit".
Maybe someone knows some custom script way of doing this

When using the Unit - A unit Begins an upgrade event, triggering unit refers to the unit it is upgrading to, not the previous.

Change the condition of Tower Plot (1) to the structure it is upgrading to and you should be fine.

Also, as kingkwong said, use the Add/Remove ability function.

EDIT: Wait a minute... I just realized something. Why not just give the Tower Plot the invulnerable ability and then just not give the structures it upgrades to the invulnerable ability? xD

Killcide has the answer

When a trigger doesn't work always use a check to see if the trigger is actually firing off.

Eg. Game - display message (name of triggering unit)
or
If level of invulnerability for triggering unit >= 1 then show message
