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 ;)

    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.

    @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.

    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

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
