Upgrade Researching Triggers

Been a long time since I have posted, but I am in need of some help. At the moment, I am working on a mod which will likely only be for myself, I am attempting to make a mod in which upgrades are shown upon models. I will admit that I am not too used to Triggering after so long without doing any modding, which is why I need help.

At the moment, I am stuck for finding a way, in triggers, to have one research (say, Iron Plating) being researched, and that at the moment it is completed then a number of Troll Berserker-esque upgrades are researched and not mentioned as having been completed by the race voice. I am looking for this to be done in a simple, easily editted fashion and done in GUI rather than JASS. Since I have never tried JASS, and do not believe I would grasp it too well.

For example:

Player 1 Finishes upgrading Iron Plating. This causes Footmen to be turned into the Captain, and Knights to be turned into Garithos. Meaning the Barracks would train Captain and Garithos from now on, instead of Footmen and Knights.

If I explained poorly, then I apologise. But any help which leads me in the right direction would be most appreciated, especially if I am then able to edit it to whatever needs I will have.

Thank you in advance.

I really suggest to check the berserk upgrade on orc, it does exactly what you want, with no triggers.

You need to Disable the "Upgrades To:" units using triggers.

Actually, it only does part of it. I would already be using the berserk upgrade in order to get single units to change. But I cannot get the game to automatically complete all the hidden berserk style upgrades I would be making.

Berserker upgrade only affects one unit at a time, possibly two. But about 5 units can be affected by upgrades such as Iron Plating. Meaning just using Berserker upgrade would not work at all.

To lay it out in steps of what would happen:

Player selects the upgrade Iron Plating.
Iron Plating finishes being researched.
As it finishes, triggers automatically research (and finish researching) hidden berserker style researches (to give the illusion that researching Iron Plating makes models look different), without having any speech being said by the Peasant/Peon/etc like the game normally has.



I can do the berserker upgrade in Object Editor, but I cannot work out how to the trigger'd side of things.

That's done with the Ability "Chaos"

If you look at the Orc abilities, you'll notice one of them is iconless called Berserker Upgrade (Sbsk). The Ability requires the upgrade, so when the upgrade is researched, all the headhunters turn into berserkers. Just use this with your units, and they'll transform when it's researched.

Really? I never thought that would work.. well, thanks for the answer!
