Selling Units From an Upgraded Structure

I've noticed that a number of people have had this problem, but I havn't found a proper solution. I have one base structure that upgrades into one of several other buildings. The upgraded structures are supposed to sell units, but the base structure isn't. No matter what I try, I can't even get the units that are supposed to be sold to show up on the buildings.

Before someone even offers: Yes, all of the upgraded buildings have "Select Unit" and "Sell Units" abilities, and their "Techtree - Units Sold" lists are populated.

I was experimenting with the issue and I found out that if the base structure was given the proper abilities to sell units and a unit to sell, it worked. Furthermore, any structure that it upgraded to later still had that unit available, even though that unit isn't on the upgraded structure's "Units Sold" list.

I can make a trigger that will replace the unit being upgraded with the unit type of the unit being upgraded to. While that does sound redundant, that would create the upgraded structure without being restricted by the original building. However, I can't get that to work. The Event I'm using is "Unit Finishes Construction" and, if the unit type of the constructed structure is appropriate, the action is "Replace Constructed Structure with a unit type of Constructed Structure". Either "Finishes Construction" isn't the right event to use or this idea is simply flawed, but this doesn't work.

Does anyone know a better way to fix this, or how to make this trigger work? As a long shot, I tried giving the base structure's Sell Units list every single unit that each upgraded structure is suppoed to sell, but it cut me of at the 12th unit (out of 60).

Do this instead.

Freehanded:
Trigger:
  • Events -
    • Every X seconds of game time
    • Actions -
    • Pick every unit in all units matching condition
    • matching unit is equal to (a dummy unit representing the building you want
    • Removed matching unit
    • Create 1 (unit that you actually want) at position of matching unit.


Yeah this leaks a group, and a point, but you can fix that.

Trigger:
  • Replace Upgraded Building
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Finishes an upgrade
    • Conditions
      • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Tier 2 Structure
    • Actions
      • Unit - Replace (Triggering unit) with a Tier 2 Structure using The old unit's relative life and mana


The key things here are "Finishes an upgrade" and "Triggering unit." I had some trouble with similar triggers, but this setup has worked perfectly so far.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    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.

    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
