Upgrade for Gold - Income/Upkeep?

[severed]

I came across an upgrade already in the world editor called Improved Gold Harvesting and decided to try it out, but noticed it doesn't actually do anything.

So I created the following trigger:

Event:
- Unit - A unit finishes research
Conditions:
- (Research tech-type) Equal to "Improved Gold Harvesting"
Actions:
- Player - Set (Triggering Player) "Gold upkeep rate" to (((Triggering Player) Gold upkeep rate) - 15)

And this worked, sort of. It did add an additional +2 to each gold collected, but once I create or lose a unit, it stops working (like the gold income goes back to normal of 10 instead of 12)

I guess theres more I'm missing??

You can periodically reset it, overwriting the changes from gaining or losing units.

how would I reset it? like set it to check every 2 seconds?

Keep your intended upkeep for the player in a variable and set it every 0.1 seconds or so. So long as you don't have an enormous number of quick periodic triggers like this it won't lag either.
