Units upgrading like towers.

[RammaLammaDing]

I'm working on this map where i would like units being able to upgrade just like towers does, but the problem is that there is no "Techtree - Upgrades to" for units, only for buildings. Anyone got an idea what to do for replacing that?

Give buildings movement and treat them like units.

Have you tried this before? Will it work properly without making it look weird in any way or anything like that?

maybe you should look the troll berserk upgrade to see how it work

Thats easy. Go to the object editor and do following:
1. Set Stats - Is a Building to true
2. Add the Unit you want to be upgraded to.
3. Set Stats - Is a Building to false

However, while upgrading ingame the progress bar won't show.

I know the question has been answered, but if at any point you want a unit to be able to upgrade to two units, you could always use the obsidian statue's upgrade...

That's right, the obsidian statue's upgrade would work great :O thanks.

I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in real quick for anyone else that may read this: if you make a tower a non-building so that you can maybe do extra stuff to it then unless you want it to behave like a normal fighting unit, make sure that you change the "Can Flee" to: "Can Flee - False" because if it does have it as "true" then the second the tower takes damage it will start to move away lol, i didnt do that for a building i made and one of the enemy towers right at the beginning of the map began to attack it and the tower which is supposed to be stationary started moving away xD looked so funny to see a Human Harbor start moving xD
