Upgrades in Neutral Building

[TehOwn]

Is it really not possible to have a neutral building that allows you to research upgrades without using triggers + items.

If not, please give me some advice about how to go about it.

Otherwise, how can it be done?!

Make your neutral upgrade building a shop selling items
Those items represent the tech
You make a trigger that increases techlevel when a item is sold
you just have to compare item-types and then decide which item type increases which tech

When he said: without using items, he meant he doesn't want to do that.

I don't think what you want is possible. But when you sell an item to a player, by triggers you can make the building look like its researching.

whoops yeah... got his post wrong somehow... anyways its the only proper way to do it

or you change ownership of neutral building whenever your hero is within x range of it
but dunno how you wanna handle the upgrading process then

If a building is upgrading and some other player bring a hero near by would cause some problems. You should just use items, whenever the player buys that item, remove it and add a countdown timer so that after it reaches 0 you can trigger the upgrade.
