Help with adding a building inventory

I have added my new building to the map and I have added the techtree- items I want sell.
But I have more items I want it to sell, like on a second screen.
I have seen this done (map called th15tankv087.w3x), but I can't figure out how he did it. I have sent the author a pm but he is not responding.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The only way I can think of, offhand, would be to swap the building for an identical-looking building with a new set of purchaseable thingy-bops.

You could add the Human Inventory to the abilities section of the building. I haven't tried it, so it might not work but it's worth a shot.

Mmm. You could have an ability that selects another "hidden" building with more items when you click it, like a "more" button or you might be able to work it through a spellbook. The first is probably the easier solution.

Th15 hasn't been doing much war3 lately so that's probably why he hasn't responded.

I think the way it's done is basically create 2 identicle shops, one with one set of items, the other with the second set. Then just give them a modified transformation ability, like Destroyer form.

So far I have found out that TH15 created the following:

Units:
Sell
Install Heavy Weapon [this is the first selectable tower]
Install Heavy Weapon (ADV) [this is a selectable tower for second screen]
Remove Heavy Weapon [this uses the sell unit in the techtree trained field]
Refit Bay [this is the main entry point for vehicle and uses a circle of power]

Abilities:
Browse Advanced Weapons
Browse Basic Weapons

However, I have not been able to get the triggers he uses to get this stuff to work.

Do you have his email address?

I have to wonder why someone would give a neg rep because I didn't show what the trigger looked like.

If someone wants to know, simply ask.

I gave all positive feedback to anyone who responded. So what are you talking about?

Don't really know/care who it was. Just saying if someone wants to see the code, asking goes a long way.

If I have said anything wrong I apologize.
I assumed everyone read the whole post. In a previous reply by me I mentioned that I sent a PM to the map author TH15 who has not responded. However, if you know the code I could use, please post it. I am grateful that you young guys are willing to help an old guy learn new things. Thanks and lets keep warcraft popular.

Base it off Robo-Goblin to be able to swap back and forth, pretty sure it will work.

If you make a hidden building, and it's a melee sort of map (i know it can't be melee if you edit it..but i 4got what else they are called so bear with me) then it will be a pain doing the hidden building because you'd have to make a hidden buuilding whenever someone makes a tech-tree building...but that all I can think of right now too =\ I'll go check someotime later...

Elven Ronin has the basic idea.

However, to cut down on the number of abilities in a map, I just made my gun hops upgrade into each other. Heavy weapon shop A upgrades into shop B for no cost and vice versa.

Yes I've pretty much stopped doing anything WC3 related. School's killer.

Well I tried to use Elven Ronin's idea but I just could not get that to work.
I'm trying to figure out how to use the bigshops system for a two team map now.

TH15 any chance you could send me an unprotected tank map?
