Question About Upgrade Requirements

I want to make it so your current hero has to be a certain lv in order to upgrade any further. How would I do this?

I tried setting the upgrade to the hero, then under interger i put a number, but that number I am assuming is counting the number of that hero the player has on the map?

I was just wondering how I can put requirements on upgrades. Need some help plz :\

Ok there is probably a much simpler way to do this but right now (off the top of my head) try this.


now another trigger:

Umm I'll try finding the exact trigger/better one but for know that's all I got

Piece,
Destruction

You only need a single trigger:

Ok, that is fine, but what about a upgrade that has 5 levels?
Would this still work or would it allow all the levels to be active after first one?

Yes just as long as it has a different expectancyrating each time.

Is Make Upgrade Available a trigger?

You should never (as far as i no) use this as a means of storing data.
Use a variable or the units custom value instead
This dosent need it anyway as already stated, but for other times.

Ok, I have gone threw all of the actions..
Where is "Actions - Make <upgrade> available" located at?

I failed to find it :(

It may not actually be an action, that trigger was written in only pseudo-code. One way to actually do this (don't know if it's the only one) is to make the upgrade require a building under it's requirements (like the "long rifles" upgrade requires a workshop), and then create that building for the player when he reaches a certain level. The building should be just a dummy unit, something invisible with locust maybe and it's name should be something like "Level 16 Hero", so then the upgrade would say "Requires: Level 16 Hero." untill you got the building.

Hmmmm. Ok, I will try this. Thx :)

Ok this is really starting to piss me off. Anitarf, I did what you suggested and it worked fine, the only thing now is, the events ""unit - begins/stats/finishes an upgrade" DO NOTHING.

I even set up a dummy trigger to test it, like unit - finishes an upgrades - then display text.

THEY will not fire. Does anyone else have a problem with this?

Umm, wait, what kind of upgrade do you have in mind? Unholy armor, long rifles, pulverize, that sort of thing, or do you mean like Ziggurat -> Spirit Tower kind of upgrade? If it's the first kind, you need to use the "finishes research" event, not "finishes upgrade".

Oh, what about for modify an ability?

Like use the upgrade to increase the level of a spell on a unit.

Also, what about just for no effects at all, or does it HAVE to have something?

I'm not sure I quite understand what you are asking. "upgrade" events happen when a building upgrades from one to another. "research" events happen whenever you research something, whatever it is. You were probably using "upgrade" events when you should have used a "research" event and of course, the trigger didn't fire when you thought it should.

Ok, I will messes around with this, thx :)
