Upgrade with triggers

[Jonny-Reaper]

I have a building like a town hall, its the main building. At the start of the game about 10 seconds in i want it to upgrade to a level 2 building, but i have many different upgrades set to the town hall already and i want it to pick one of them at random every game, can any one help? thanks , oh yeah i only want it to do this if the player is filled by the Computer, thanks

What kind of upgrades? Basic improvements to the level 2 building? Or multiple different buildings to upgrade to?

 

[Jonny-Reaper]

It would be multiple different buildings, like 10 different level 2 buildings to choose from

Does any ne have any ideas? i still haven't managed to trigger this yet. thanks

let me know if it worked

 

[Jonny-Reaper]

that would work but it clashes with a previous trigger that is set to that building, deleting the building would disable the trigger. It can't be deleted it needs to be upgraded

 

[Kayoss666]

i am not sure if that can be done but in my trigger the townhall is not destroyed it is removed but i would think it would be easier to rewrite the other trigger. you could pm me the other trigger or post it here and i will see if i can tweak it.

There's an ability called Chaos in the Object Editor under Orc, which changes one unit-type into another.
Create one of these for every possible upgrade, and a bunch of dummy unit-types to act as requirements (each ability should have a different dummy-type requirement).
Add all these Chaos abilities to your unit in the Object Editor (they don't show up on the command card, so 10 shouldn't be a problem). Then do something like this:

• Upgrade Building
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 10.00 seconds
  • Conditions
    • ((Owner of YourUnit) controller) Equal to Computer
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Position of (YourUnit))
    • Unit - Create 1 DummyType [(Random number between 1 and 10)] for (Owner of YourUnit) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

where YourUnit is your building and DummyType is a unit-type array that stores each of the dummy unit-types in a different array.
