in the object editor of the unit find "is a building" and set to true; now add the unit in your worker "structure built" list in object editor

You need to make sure you pick a ground texture.

done that but still the archer wont build. it places it there when i click but just doesnt construct.

non sense you dont need texture

here a map i made to "build" a sorceress tower

a unit must have "worker" classification to build thing if I recall

I had this problem before.

What I did is I made a spell based on "Berserk" but removed all buffs/bonuses/etc.(you can use any skill/spell you want but make sure you remove all buffs, bonuses, etc.), and named it "Tree of Ages[spell]" (this is the name of the building your unit is going to upgrade to.). Then I gave the unit that needs the upgrade this skill.

In here, I wanted a Tree Warrior (unit) to upgrade to a Tree of Ages (structure). So I gave the Tree Warrior this skill.
The Tree of Ages[structure] upgrade costs 75 gold so notice the "75's" I have in my trigger.

Then in triggers, I did:

• Evolve 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Tree of Ages[spell]
    • ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current gold) Greater than 75
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Tree Warrior
  • Actions
    • Player - Add -75 to (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current gold
    • Unit - Replace (Triggering unit) with a Tree of Ages[structure] using The new unit's default life and mana
    • Animation - Play (Last replaced unit)'s birth animation

If you want to edit the "upgrade time", you edit the "cast time" of the skill instead. To edit the upgrade cost, you just replace the "75's" I put in my trigger. Make sure you include the price of the structure (in my case the Tree of Ages) in the skill description.

Notes:
You can use this trigger to enable a unit to upgrade to another unit as well!

The good thing about this skill is that you can add as many animation/effects/etc. as you want when upgrading the unit.
