Any way to make a hero able to research upgrades?

Hey!

I got this hero which I really need to be able to research upgrades, just like if it was a normal building. You have any idea how to do this? (A sold unit would not be very neat since I want the cost to increase each time).

Just to let you know, I think you double posted the topic.
Maybe look into getting that taken care of?

And there's a section for every unit at the bottom of the Object Editor for that unit with "Researches Upgraded".
Try adding your upgrade to that.

Deleted the other thread.

Hm... what I suggest is having dummy abilities and researching the upgrade when they cast it. For gold you cant do much but include the gold cost in the description and change the gold cost for each lv of the ability

That would reduce the research time to 0 seconds, unless one really wants the hero just to stand still and "channel" when he is researching. You could always make some invisible unit, which is ordered to initiate the research when the ability is cast, so the hero doesn't have to just stand still.

Worked it out! Thanks!
