If I made a cheaper clone, then the new unit will be different from the old unit, breaking the select type function.

There is code to do that, but the object being replaced must be still when the upgrade takes effect; moving objects will crash the game. There would also be a one-time boost to the health of the replaced units, possibly enough to change the tide of a big battle.

You can set the cheaper tank to have the same maximum health as the original, but there is no way to set the initial health to vary with the upgraded units health. cdlord wrote: then we could do it so that the tank itself has the upgrade to get more power and that that upgrade costs ..% of the price of the tank, then it's still thesame upgrade only now it's like the upgrades for overlord. doesn't that solve the problem? You can have as many upgrades as you want (within reason) to increase the power consumption/production of an object; the aforementioned restriction only applies to upgrades that change cost.
