Replace units from Building-Sell Units list

Hi, I'm going to explain this a little more in detail, sorry for the long text ;)
For this example I have a Frog which I want to upgrade to Godzilla :D
The building has the "Sell Units" ability.
I added Frog to the building that's supposed to sell this unit. Later in game, a second building can upgrade the Frog to Godzilla (it's done by a trigger that looks like this:
Neutral Building-Remove Frog
Neutral Building-Add Godzilla.)

First I thought this would be finde, but then I realized some strange bugs. When I replace my second unit for example, it's replaced correctly but another third unit is removed (not replaced). I checked some things: the spells used for upgrading have different order Ids; I also put in some debugmsgs and the only trigger that removes this unit isn't launched!

Then I tried to use the regular system of blizzard, as the Orcs use for their trolls: Upgrading Trollheadhunter to Trollberserker. I almost copy pasted all of the abilities, upgrades and added it to units and the building. It's the ability with the effect: Unit-Change Unit Availability (not sure about the correct English translation here)

But here I even have more problems.
First: At the the regular Orc Casern both units are added in the Objects Editor's list, though you don't see and can't train Troll Berserker ingame before upgrading.
I did so too but my building ingame can trainb oth, the Frog and Godzilla.
When upgrading, the Frog disappears and all frogs are replaced with godzilla correctly.
Second: I want the building not to train but to sell the units, but that system doesn't seem to work for sold units at all.
Am I right there?! Any way to change it? Or did I just do a common mistake?

Final Edit: Well I don't understand it, but I think I found the problem. The order was the problem. I had a trigger that added the normal, not upgraded units to all buildings. And in this loop the unitorder wasn't the same like the upgrade-order. I don't know what happens if I ever want to change the order to be more "random".. Never change a running system, I leave it that way, until someone come's out with a better solution ;)

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before

    We now have a web designer at my job. A legit talented professional! I am going to get him to redesign the site theme. It is time.

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess
  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
