Upgrading a unit to place another unit

[Thfatman]

I couldn't find any threads that pertained to this, and I'm tired of trying to trouble shoot this issue. What I am trying to do is simply set the Human's knight unit to be upgraded to a new Paladin unit I made. I completely copied exactly how it's done on the Orcs side, yet everytime I start the game, either it shows the Paladin as a trainable unit off the start, or it doesn't show him at all, and I can't use my knights once they get upgraded. If someone could please help me, it would be most appreciative.

I assume you use the Troll Headhunter upgrade but its best to post the map coz maybe you did it the wrong way...

if you want to change it individually you can use the bear transformation, then remove the
ability once finish casting...

i have done the same thing myself. you have to actually edit the upgrade so that it removes the knight and adds the paladin. then the ability needs to turn the knight into the paladin and require the upgrade in order to do so.

Sorry about the long wait for the reply, I didn't have internet for awhile. So how exactly would it work with using that upgrade? Would I have to do triggers or what? Because I've completely masked the troll headhunter upgrade.

If you used the upgrade, you won't require any triggering. All you need is to use the upgrade. When you upgrade that "knight->Paladin" upgrade in a unit/structure, like the troll head hunter in the ladder games, all the knights available in the map will transform into the paladin. If you were to train the knights in a barracks or something, they will come out as paladins. I did not refer to the editor for this but theoretically it will work the same way it did for the troll head hunters.

That's my problem, it isn't working the same way. When I upgrade the Knights to Paladins, the knights icon disappears, and I can't make Paladins. I can post the map in case that will help.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

if you post the map in this topic i should be able to fix it for you.

 

[Thfatman]

Here ya go, sorry about the late reply

the knights icon disappears, and I can't make Paladins.

for me allow to make paladin, just knight no coz obviously without icon kinda hard to make

acctually u need trigger this, instead use upgrade

but acctually what u want make?

upgrade destriction say transform all knights to paladin, this happen on your map and knights unit type remove because already have 1 trainable paladin unit type.

whats wrong with it?
u want train knights after u researched paladin upgrade without turning knight to paladin automatically??

 

[andreasaspenberg]

here it is. what i did was edit the tech tree properties. i disabled the paladin there and the upgrade enabled it again.

 

[Thfatman]

Awesome, thanks a bundle for the help

 

[andreasaspenberg]

it was easy for me to fix because i already knew how to do it. your map is interesting though but far too big for battle.net. if you need any more help you can ask me directly. i usually have the time to help.

 

[Thfatman]

The map is a test map for a campaign I'm making. Not really meant for Battle.net, just want people to let me know how the races work out, if they're balanced properly.
