Why won't my upgrade work?

Heres the thing. I have 1 unit, it has 4 spells, the first spell is availiable. but the other spells each require the upgrade. Sooo.. heres a good way to explain it, we'll call the upgrade "Spell Level" and the spells will be #1, #2, #3 and #4 (there is a 5th spell as well, we'll call it #5 and its upgrade is "Movement").

"Movement" is a 4 level upgrade that increases the movement speed of the unit (and it works FLAWLESSLY, so do ALL my other upgrades, I have like 20 of them...)

Ok. The unit has all 4 spells.

#1 - No requirements, availiable from start
#2 - Requires "Spell Level" level 1
#3 - Requires "Spell Level" level 2
#4 - Requires "Spell Level" level 3
#5 - Requires "Movement" level 4

Now heres the problem.

I set the spells "Tech Tree Requirements" to "Spell Level" for #1 - #4 and set the "Tech Tree Levels" accordingly, but in game it says "requires spell level 3" ON ALL 3 SPELLS!! And when I upgrade the "Spell Level" it does not make the spells availiable, even when I went into the unit that has the spells and put "Spell Level" in the Upgrades used catagory.

I then set "Tech Tree Requirements" to "Movement" for #5 and set the "Tech Tree Levels" to 4, and it said "Requires movement level 4" in game, but when I researched up to movement level 4 it did not make the spell availiable, but when I deleted the "Tech Tree Levels" setting (making it so the spell would be availiable after the level 1 upgrade) it worked fine.

SSSOOOOOOOOOOO.... I figure I am using the "Tech Tree Levels" field incorrectly in the spell's settings, and was wondering if someone could shed some light on the subject. PLEASE!!

Custom upgrades are majorly bugged like that. I think the two main options are:
Wait for the patch and hope it fixes it. (the patch is expect quite soon, prehaps within a week)
Use the solution in this thread

:bgrun:

That way would work... but I think I will live without the upgraded way, and figure another way.. Thanx anyway.

I don't want to wait for the patch because I am afraid the patch might kill my map, so I plan on finishing my map in the next 2 days (hopefully before the patch...)
