Upgrade Unit A to Unit B

[Vengeance Mk2]

Hi,

Wondering how to upgrade one unit to another. Basically like upgrading the Scout Tower in WC3 to the Guard Tower. Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks (in advance)!

well why don't you start with any morph ability? if you like to have a different model for each morph, you have to modifie the actors aswell. just start with any unit (larva e.g.) that already has a morph ability.

Look how the command center does it with its PF and OC upgrades.

Remember that you need to alter the actor events if you want the graphics to update.

Thanks!

Alright, I got it to work the way I wanted. The morph ability (Upgrade Unit A to Unit B) takes care of morphing the units, but not the actors/models. So, Actor events are necessary for that.

Here is what I did for the actor events:

UNIT A (ACTOR)
-AbilMorph.UpgradeUnitAtoUnitB.Finish
--Destroy Immediate

UNIT B (ACTOR)
-AbilMorph.UpgradeUnitAtoUnitB.Finish
--Create

Pretty simple it turns out!

I copied the unit flags from other units with morph abilities, which may have helped.

OR, you could have based both actors on "Generic Unit Morph", they would have inherited that...
