[Solved] Unit Upgrade Help

[Gadgetguy]

I made a custom upgrade with the troll headhunter upgrade as a base.
I followed this tutorial on it https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/general-mapping-tutorials-278/creating-mass-unit-upgrade-like-orcs-berserker-upgrade-143755/ but when I get to step 4, since my units are custom units I don't see them. Is there a way that I can make them visible in the tech tree properties?

You can make them available/unavailable with triggers:

• Untitled Trigger 029
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Player - Make Footman Unavailable for training/construction by (Picked player)

• Untitled Trigger 031
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes research
  • Conditions
    • (Researched tech-type) Equal to Berserker Upgrade
  • Actions
    • Player - Make Footman Available for training/construction by (Triggering player)

You can make them available/unavailable with triggers:

The same way the game does it via those options. It purly adds some script to the script file that is run at map initializaton.

Thank you very much maker!
How do I make the trigger replace all existing units with the upgraded one?

 

[Maker]

Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
Unit group - pick all units in playbale map area matching (matching unit) is alive and owner (matching unit) equal to triggering player and unit type of (matching unit) equal to *your unit type*
loop
->replace (picked unit) with *new unit type*

Do that in the "finishes research" trigger.

Really sorry maker, I can't find that long unit group trigger, would you mind showing me?
I'm newer to the map maker.

 

[Maker]

New Action -> Unit group -> Pick every unit in group and do multiple actions
Choose "units in region matcghing condition".
When you click the red underlined condition, choose "and" from the drop-down menu.
For condition 1, use the unit is alive condition. For condition 2, select "and" and setup the to remaining conditions.

• Zergling upgrade.
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes an upgrade
  • Conditions
  • (Researched tech-type) Equal to Zergling Upgrade
    • Actions
      • Player - Make Mutant Dog Unavailable for training/construction by (Triggering player)
• Player - Make Zergling Available for training/construction by (Triggering player)
• Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and (((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to (Triggering player)) and ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Mutant Dog)))) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Replace (Picked unit) with a Zergling using The new unit's default life and mana

I made the research trigger but nothing happens to my existing mutant dogs.
It makes the mutant dog unavailable and the zergling available but it doesn't do what is stated above.
Why is this?

 

[Maker]

It looks like the trigger should work. Post the map.

I pmed you the password.

The problem is that you used "finishes as upgrade" event. The trigger I posted uses "finishes a research" which is the correct event.

The research handles the availablity of the unit in object editor, so you don't need the set available/unavailable actions.
