Upgrade reseter

[Monictor]

Making a game where players buy units and upgrade them to eventually fight each other in a battleground. When players buy units a building is made for that unit which contains its upgrades.

After every battle i need the upgrades to be reset.

So I made this trigger so that when the unit dies, its upgrades for that player are supposed to reset to 0. A player can only have 1 type of unit at a time.

Here is an example of one of the triggers:

• Demon reset
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Demon Lord
  • Actions
    • Player - Set the current research level of Demon Armor to 0 for (Owner of (Triggering unit))
    • Player - Set the current research level of Hit Point Bonus Demon to 0 for (Owner of (Triggering unit))
    • Player - Set the current research level of Speed Bonus Demon to 0 for (Owner of (Triggering unit))
    • Player - Set the current research level of Vampirism to 0 for (Owner of (Triggering unit))
    • Player - Set the current research level of Demon Rake +1 to 0 for (Owner of (Triggering unit))

However, this does not work. The units still have the upgrades when they are recreated, and they are not in the upgrade building. Is there a way to reset upgrades?

Upgrades cannot be downgraded. They're called upgrades for a reason.

I think in the new starcraft they'll be downgradeable

Dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit.

So what's the point of the "set research level" function?

 

[Asdfblah1]

To increase the research level

A replacement solution would be to make upgrades units. Wouldn't be easy to pull off, needs jass and stuff probably. There is a system called UnitProperties (I think) that could help you.
