Berserker Upgrade problem.

Hey guys, long time no post. I got bored when my internet went down a while ago and I decided to edit a melee map and add in custom units and upgrades for every race, I've come across a problem though:
I made a custom unit called Captain
I made a custom upgrade called Captain Training
I wanted the upgrade to do to footmen what berserker upgrade does to head hunters.
So basically, when this upgrade is reasearched all Footmen turn into Captain and you can now train captains instead of footmen, but it doesn't work, can anyone tell me how i can get it to work?

Wait a sec, I'll look in editor how it's completely done! K, first make another ability based on the ability "Berserker Upgrade" and change new unit type to captain, then give it ONLY to the unit which should be upgraded, in your case the Footman, then make an upgrade based on "Berserker Upgrade" and change all it's data to what you want and change the troll headhunter field to the footman field and the berserker field to the captain field... Additionally add the "Berserker Upgrade" to Upgrades used in the footman techtree.

I did this myself, to make a Dark Troll Mimic the Orc's Troll Headhunter.
Copy/Paste the Footman and the Headhunter in the unit editor (you'll delete the copied headhunter in a moment) Now look at the copied Headhunter's ability list Go to the ability tab and cop/paste ALL of those abilities, jump back to the unit tab and look at the copied HH's upgrade list and DependencyOr's Copy/Paste ALL units/upgrades listed, Change the pointers in ALL of the Abilites/Upgrades/Dependencies. Don't forget that you have to make the Footman Unavailable for training and the Captain Available for Training in the "Capatain Training" upgrade and add the Captain to the training list of the Barracks AND set the Captain's icon placement to the same as the Footman's so they'll show up in the same spot.
If you have any further questions. Feel free to e-mail [email protected] , PM or post and I'll try to walk you through it in a more in depth manner.
