Hi, I wish to mod the technical so individual technicals gain crate upgrades by purchasing an upgrade within the technical Commandset. I currently have it working for upgrading to crateupgrade 1, but it upgrades all technicals, instead of just the one that purchased the upgrade. Also, I can't find a way to add a second upgrade, as the term Weaponset PLAYER_UPGRADE already is being used.

Object upgrades are set in upgrade.ini, not in the individual unit.

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.

  BuildCost          = 13794

And the button


CommandButton Command_UpgradeTechnicalKPV
  Upgrade       = Upgrade_TechnicalKPV
  Command       = UNIT_UPGRADE
  TextLabel     = CONTROLBAR:UpgradeChinaOverlordGattlingCannon
  ButtonImage   = TechnicalKPV
  ButtonBorderType        = UPGRADE ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
  DescriptLabel           = CONTROLBAR:TooltipUpgradeChinaOverlordGattlingCannon
  UnitSpecificSound       = OverlordTankVoiceModeGattling
End

As well as in the vehicle code where ever Weaponset_Player_Upgrade was


    ConditionState = WEAPONSET_UNIT_UPGRADE
      IdleAnimation = UITech_SKL.UITech_STA 0 6
      IdleAnimation = UITech_SKL.UITech_IDA
      IdleAnimation = UITech_SKL.UITech_IDB
      AnimationMode = ONCE
      ShowSubObject = 50Cal
      WeaponMuzzleFlash = PRIMARY MuzzleFX02
      WeaponFireFXBone = PRIMARY Muzzle02
      WeaponLaunchBone = PRIMARY Muzzle02
    End

    ConditionState = WEAPONSET_UNIT_UPGRADE RUBBLE MOVING TURRET_ROTATE
      Animation = None
      HideSubObject = UITech-SKN
      ShowSubObject = 50Cal
      WeaponMuzzleFlash = PRIMARY MuzzleFX02
      WeaponFireFXBone = PRIMARY Muzzle02
      WeaponLaunchBone = PRIMARY Muzzle02
    End

    ConditionState = MOVING WEAPONSET_UNIT_UPGRADE
      Animation = UITech_SKL.UITech_MVB
      AnimationMode = LOOP
      ShowSubObject = 50Cal
      WeaponMuzzleFlash = PRIMARY MuzzleFX02
      WeaponFireFXBone = PRIMARY Muzzle02
      WeaponLaunchBone = PRIMARY Muzzle02
    End

    ConditionState = WEAPONSET_UNIT_UPGRADE TURRET_ROTATE
      Animation = UITech_SKL.UITech_TNA
      AnimationMode = LOOP
      ShowSubObject = 50Cal
      WeaponMuzzleFlash = PRIMARY MuzzleFX02
      WeaponFireFXBone = PRIMARY Muzzle02
      WeaponLaunchBone = PRIMARY Muzzle02
    End
    AliasConditionState = WEAPONSET_UNIT_UPGRADE TURRET_ROTATE MOVING
    AliasConditionState = WEAPONSET_UNIT_UPGRADE TURRET_ROTATE FIRING_A
    AliasConditionState = WEAPONSET_UNIT_UPGRADE TURRET_ROTATE BETWEEN_FIRING_SHOTS_A
    AliasConditionState = WEAPONSET_UNIT_UPGRADE TURRET_ROTATE RELOADING_A
    AliasConditionState = WEAPONSET_UNIT_UPGRADE TURRET_ROTATE MOVING FIRING_A
    AliasConditionState = WEAPONSET_UNIT_UPGRADE TURRET_ROTATE MOVING BETWEEN_FIRING_SHOTS_A
    AliasConditionState = WEAPONSET_UNIT_UPGRADE TURRET_ROTATE MOVING RELOADING_A

    ConditionState = WEAPONSET_UNIT_UPGRADE FIRING_A 
      Animation = UITech_SKL.UITech_ATA
      AnimationMode = LOOP
      ShowSubObject = 50Cal
      WeaponMuzzleFlash = PRIMARY MuzzleFX02
      WeaponFireFXBone = PRIMARY Muzzle02
      WeaponLaunchBone = PRIMARY Muzzle02
    End

    ; AliasConditionState is a new keyword that says,
    ; "give me another ConditionState exactly like the previous
    ; one, except with different conditions". Useful when you
    ; have several states that are the same with only different condition bits.
    AliasConditionState = WEAPONSET_UNIT_UPGRADE BETWEEN_FIRING_SHOTS_A
    AliasConditionState = WEAPONSET_UNIT_UPGRADE RELOADING_A

    ; these aliases handle the moving-between-shots case. (we can't actually move-and-fire at the same time.).
    AliasConditionState = WEAPONSET_UNIT_UPGRADE MOVING FIRING_A
    AliasConditionState = WEAPONSET_UNIT_UPGRADE MOVING BETWEEN_FIRING_SHOTS_A
    AliasConditionState = WEAPONSET_UNIT_UPGRADE MOVING RELOADING_A
  End

  WeaponSet
    Conditions = UNIT_UPGRADE
    Weapon = PRIMARY MarauderTankGun
  End

Excuse my triple post, I can't find a way to post the code on one post

You don't need WEAPONSET_UNIT_UPGRADE in the unit code.

You're not going to be able to have the code distinguish between two upgraded weapon sets. That's why I suggested spawning a salvage crate instead.
