Are you asking about generals or zero hour?

The method linked appears to be for generals (I remember CommieDog talking about this method once, as I've never bothered modding generals). For zero hour, you can copy the worker's fake/real commandset switch, which is much less of a pain.

If you need help, post in the forum. You'll get help a lot faster than if you send me a PM.

I reject all buddy requests. I don't think 'buddy' needs to be made official. It's not like you're marrying me.

Generals. but tut seems to be using ZH (although i think it will still work in generals) because the commandset text your supposed to copy has 14 for the slot number, and Generals only has 12 slots in its commandsets.

From GLA worker:

  Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_14
    TriggeredBy = Upgrade_GLAWorkerFakeCommandSet
    RemovesUpgrades = Upgrade_GLAWorkerRealCommandSet
    CommandSet = GLAWorkerFakeBuildingsCommandSet
  End
 
  Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_15
    TriggeredBy = Upgrade_GLAWorkerRealCommandSet
    RemovesUpgrades = Upgrade_GLAWorkerFakeCommandSet Upgrade_GLAWorkerRealCommandSet
    CommandSet = GLAWorkerCommandSet
  End

Just clone all upgrades above in upgrade.ini, and give them your own names so you can recognize them, and substitute the rest of the code (commandsets).
Make sure to make moduletags unique, or WB will keep crashing.
Then the buttons:

CommandButton Command_UpgradeGLAWorkerFakeCommandSet
  Command       = OBJECT_UPGRADE
  Upgrade       = Upgrade_GLAWorkerFakeCommandSet
  TextLabel     = CONTROLBAR:UpgradeGLAWorkerFakeCommandSet
  ButtonImage   = SUFakeToggle
  ButtonBorderType        = UPGRADE ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
  DescriptLabel           = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipUpgradeGLAWorkerFakeCommandSet
End

CommandButton Command_UpgradeGLAWorkerRealCommandSet
  Command       = OBJECT_UPGRADE
  Upgrade       = Upgrade_GLAWorkerRealCommandSet
  TextLabel     = CONTROLBAR:UpgradeGLAWorkerRealCommandSet
  ButtonImage   = SUFakeToggle
  ButtonBorderType        = UPGRADE ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
  DescriptLabel           = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipUpgradeGLAWorkerRealCommandSet
End

Again, clone, and edit to fit in context.
Make sure you add them to your commandsets.

You don't need to create new upgrades for this. You can use the existing ones.

you can't use newnightmare's code in generals. You have to use acidbrain's code.

Hi there - are you still trying to make this work?
I recently did this very thing for my own personal mod, and after the debugging bumps it's really simple. The game already has this: the GLA worker has the ability to switch command sets. All you need to do is copy/follow that code for your own use. If you need details, I can show you what I did.
:)

Mobius advice is useless if you're not using zero hour.

I'm not just being intentionally negative here. Acidbrain's link is the only way to do this.

Rrtaya_tsamsiyu -
I'm sorry, I totally missed the fact that this was not for Zero Hour. I'll check what I did to see if its the same for both games; I don't know if it will be. I suppose I was too eager to help.

Newnightmare, Annihilationzh,
Feel free to continue helping me in the topic I started.....
