Upgrade shop ?

[RedSword]

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering : Is it possible to makes a friend shop or a neutral shop selling directly upgrade ? Or we need to sell unit / upgrad and do something via triggers ?, because I tryed to makes a friend building with saleable upgrades with the shops ability and didnt work.

Thx in advance, RedSword

Yes. Something along these lines

E - A unit sells an item
C - 
A - If -
      Item being manipulated equal to Upgrade1
     Then -
       Research Upgrade1 for owner of buying unit
       Remove item being manipulated
       Else -
          If -
          (Repeat for all upgrades)

Did you put the sold upgrades under researches available?not sure if it works but that 'could' be the prob

 

[esb]

Hhmmm... you could to it as fallen said, but it would be the same thing as items.

 

[RedSword]

Yes Fallen Kids, the researches I want were put in "Researches available", but when I play, I don't see them, even with a goblin merchant which I removed all his items.

Then go esbs way

 

[RedSword]

Alright thx all

Oh, also, make sure to remove the upgrade for the player, that way a player doesn't do the same upgrade twice.
For this you can add a boolean array, size 12.

If - Item being manipulated equal to Upgrade1
Upgrade1[Player number of owner of hero manipulating item] = False
Then -
Research Upgrade1 for owner of buying unit
Remove item being manipulated
Set Upgrade1[Player number of owner of hero manipulating item] = True
Else -

False would mean the player doesn't have that upgrade yet.
True would mean the player already researched the upgrade, and it would skip the 'Then' actions.
Hhhmm.... a "Money back" would be nice in case they buy the same upgrade. Or better yet, add a requirement for the player.

But would it work if I use it to upgrade 1 level per buy ? And I'd use an integer condition to check if the research isnt already at the max level.

If triggered correctly, yes.

And, if you base your item on a Power Up, you don't need to remove it. And you can still buy it if your inventory is full.
