Upgrading for an Ally

[Fulltimer]

I've a computer-driven allied player (his/him) for whom I'd like to do upgrades. I've tried changing ownership of his building to my User player to do his upgrades for him, but it only upgrades my player, not his. In the BNet map "Rival Nations", they've somehow made it possible to upgrade the computer's allied player....but how? Their map is locked, so no way to try to understand their series of upgrade triggers. As I understand it, they use a series of lengthy triggers that spell out every upgrade (giving each a variable).
I'm not good with arrays and such, but I do try....

Conditions

Just make it timed.. you could also create conditions based on resources.. ie

Untitled Trigger 001
Events
Player - Player 1 (Red)'s Current lumber becomes Greater than or equal to 200.00
Player - Player 1 (Red)'s Current gold becomes Greater than or equal to 200.00
Conditions
Actions
Unit - Order Blacksmith 0000 <gen> to research Iron Forged Swords

something like that

Tried as follows:
E>Unit - A unit enters H N <gen>
C>((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
A>Unit - Order Seraph's Hall 0003 <gen> to research Strength of the Moon

Hunters hall (Seraph's Hall) lit up, but when I checked the comps archer, did not work.

Hmmmmmmmmm......

did you wait for it to finish the upgrade time? unless you grant the ability in the trigger, it has to upgrade as normal.

Obj Ed>Upgrades>Stats-Time Base and Stats-Time Increment both set to 0 (zero) seconds. Therefore, little or not time to do upgrade. So that wasn't problem....waiting I mean. Nice thought though......any others?!
