Upgrade Tiers triggering Triggers

[Thunderbuff246]

Heres what i'd like to happen:
Example:

Event:
Unit finishes an upgrade

Condition:
Unit belongs to Player 1 (Red)
(Researched Tech-Type) equal to Iron Forged Swords (This is a the thing in game that humans train from Blacksmith to increase thier damage but this time optimized to upgrade nothing)

Action:
Turn on Trigger (Blah1)
Turn on Trigger (Blah2)

Then when i upgrade the second tier portion of it (So now it'd be Thorium Forged Sword) I want it to
Turn off Trigger (Blah1)
Turn off Trigger (Blah2)
Turn on Trigger (Bloo1)
Turn on Trigger (Bloo2)

I'm sure it can be done... but i'm having difficulty figuring out how. Thanks again HWS community I've been full of questions lately, and with all your help I've been able to keep a steady pace on my current project.

I have no idea what you want to happen O_O.. do you want to turn on a number of triggers for first level of the upgrade? then turn off a few other triggers in the 2nd one?

Damn, alright well let me try to explain without overwhelming info...

Basically Lets say You upgrade something
Player Red Upgrades (Unit ability 1 Upgrade)
Give all units of X type Y ability

Player Red Upgrades (Unit Ability 2nd Upgrade)
Give all units of X type Z ability (Now they have both abilities)

You can do it the easy way using just the Object editor or the more Complicate way using Triggers.

First Technique:
-Customize an upgrade, lets call it "Spells"
-Customize a few abilities, lets call them Teir1 A, Teir1 B,Teir2 A and Teir2 B
-Now for Teir1 A and Teir1 B, go to the Abilities tab and change a few values:
-Techtree - Check Dependencies "True"
-Techtree - Requirements "Spells"
-Techtree - Requirements - Levels "1"
-For Teir2 A, Teir2 B change these values for them:
-Techtree - Check Dependencies "True"
-Techtree - Requirements "Spells"
-Techtree - Requirements - Levels "2"
-Go to the Units tab and give all the units you want those abilities

The abilities will always show up on the unit but it can't use unless "Spells" is upgraded to lv 1 or 2.

Second Technique:

• Events -
• A unit finishes research
• Conditions -
• (Current research level of Spells for (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Greater Than or Equal to 1
• Actions -
• Set TempUnitGroup = Units owned by (Owner of (Triggering unit) of type Caster
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempUnitGroup and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Current research level of Spells for (Owner of (Triggering unit)))Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Add Teir1 A to (Picked unit)
        • Unit - Add Teir1 B to (Picked unit)
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Current research level of Spells for (Owner of (Triggering unit)))Equal to 2
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Add Teir2 A to (Picked unit)
        • Unit - Add Teir2 B to (Picked unit)
      • Else - Actions
• Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempUnitGroup)

Keep in mind that you will need to add the spell manually everytime u create a new unit, either by training or usign triggers

NP glad i could help

 

[Thunderbuff246]

Hey sorry to be a bother once again... but for some reason my units don't learn the spells when they are level 3 as they should even with the upgrade necessary... any ideas why? This is a big problem and i have no idea where to even start attempting to fix it
