Upgrading System! NEED HELP!

[Hoernchen]

I wish to make an Upgrade-System for my game Historic Wars v0.90
The game is like ToK:BC or Civ Wars, you build structures, those spawn units for a pc-player which automatically attack your opponents base.
Now what I want to do is, that you can buy upgrades for buildings, that then improve the units spawned. Like you buy -Improved Firearms- and then the building gets it as an item and every unit spawning from it, gets it put into his inventory automatically. Whereas the -Improved Firearms- also give +10dmg and dont drop on death, and cannot be dropped from the building. I figured you can make it undroppable and not drop on death, but when I put into the buildings 'sold items' -Improved Firearms-, it doesnt sell them?

Dont sell it, or whatever.

Just, when you create a unit, add (item in slot 1) of the building spawning it to that unit, same with slot 2 to slot 6.

Something like this;

<point> is a global Point variable. in the Custom Script, just replace udg_<point> with your variable's name, prefixed by udg_

• Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
• Unit Group - Pick Every unit of type Barracks and do multiple actions
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set <point> = <where to spawn the unit>
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman at <point> for (Owner of (Picked Unit)), facing <facing> degrees
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_<point> )
    • For Each Integer A from 1 to 6, do actions
      • Loop - Actions
        • Hero - Create 1 (Item-type of (Item carried by (Picked Unit) in slot (For Loop Integer A))) and give it to (Last Created Unit)

thanks for the help, but I already had that part worked out, my problem is the buying of the upgrades, not the equipping of the units with it.
Cause if I add an upgrade as an item for a unit under 'sold items' then it doesnt sell it in the actual game, why i dunno

Also, even if it would sell it'd still have the problem that it would not sell it to the building, but drop it next to it, and it has to be undroppable, to prevent abuse.
Thanks anyway, if someone knows how to make it, that the unit sells the upgrade into its own inventory, that'd be great.
And I still dont get why it doesnt sell it???

Kay, sorry, didn't realize what you meant at first.

I think you need the abilities the Neutral shops have to make the shop work. (Select Unit and the other one that's named something like Sell Items)

ok, that fixed itself after i just deleted the unit and made a new one, but now i have a freakier problem...
i cant make the building sell the item to itself, it can only sell it to another unit or drop it on the ground, but when you drop it, you cant order it to pick the item up with triggers, neither can you move the item into his inventory, except if the player picks it up in the game, which would be kinda lame...

Try Items Made. If that still doesn't work, whenever an item is sold, remove it and add a copy to the seller's inventory.

 

[Hoernchen]

where's items made? it only has
Event
-A Unit Sells An Item

or

Event
-A Unit Aquires An Item

and i made:
Event
-A Unit Aquires/Sells An Item
Conditions
-None
Action
-Display text to all players: Item bought!

just to see if he actually reacted on it, and he didnt!
im confused

Items Made is one of the Stats fields on a unit, next to Items Sold.
