Upgrading a building

[BlargIAmDead]

Hopefully the answers to my last question solve that problem. Thanks to everybody who replied!

Second question: I have a custom building that sells items; it also has the "Return Gold and Lumber" ability. This upgrades to a different custom building, focused on unit production; it's not supposed to have items or "Return". I used Techtree -- Upgrades To in the Unit Editor.

When I place either Custom #1 or Custom #2 on the map directly, they work just as intended. When I upgrade Custom #1 to Custom #2, fail ensues. For lo and behold, it retains the items and "Return" ability...and shoves off a few of Custom #2's trained units to fit them into its menu.

What am I doing wrong? Is there an upgrade ability that I need to include too?

why not remove the Return Gold and Lumber ability using triggers after the upgrade finishes?

do this:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit finishes construction
• Conditions
  • Unit Type - Unit-Type of (Constructed Structure) is Equal to Custom unit 2
• Actions
  • Unit - Remove (Constructed Structure) from the game
  • Unit - Create 1 (Unit-Type of (Constructed Structure)) at (Position of (Constructed Structure)) for (Owner of (Constructed Structure)) Facing Default Building Degrees

I'll keep it in mind, but I'd really prefer using triggers as a last resort. I'm not very experienced with them, and they tend to make my maps lag. Incidentally, I tried using a tweaked version of "Berserker Upgrade"...that didn't help either.

Triggers may cause lag due to leaks,remember to remove the point leak here if you're going to use triggers

• Upgrading a building
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit finishes construction
  • Conditions
    • Unit Type - Unit-Type of (Constructed Structure) is Equal to Custom unit 2
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove (Constructed Structure) from the game
    • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Constructed structure))
    • Unit - Create 1 (Unit-Type of (Constructed Structure)) at (TempPoint) for (Owner of (Constructed Structure)) (Facing of (Constructed structure)) degrees
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

So I can't upgrade a building that sells items, to a building that doesn't sell items, without using triggers. Is this what we're saying?

Yeah, apparently. I tested this myself, tried removing the Shop ability afterwards to "wake" it up, but it doesn't work. Try what Garfield1337 suggested.
