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.

[quote=thetimn8er;128630]but it upgrades all technicals, instead of just the one that purchased the upgrade.[/quote] That's probably because you have the upgrade type set to PLAYER. Set it to UNIT instead. Also make sure that the command button used to purchase your upgrade is of the type UNIT_UPGRADE or it won't work. [quote=thetimn8er;128630]Also, I can't find a way to add a second upgrade, as the term Weaponset PLAYER_UPGRADE already is being used.[/quote] You can't have two upgraded weapon sets. Your best bet is to have your upgrade spawn a salvage crate right on top of the Technical. The Technical should pick it up automatically.

According to the modulelist, Unit_upgrade doesn't exist, nor when I try it does it work... I have the upgrade Type = Unit and the button command = Unit_Upgrade and in the Code, I replace all Player_Upgrade to Unit_Upgrade concerning the weapon change... What did I do wrong?

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

[quote=Annihilationzh;128636]Object upgrades are set in upgrade.ini, not in the individual unit.[/quote] Perhaps I am not being clear enough. I did change the upgrade type in the upgrade code [code=plain] Upgrade Upgrade_TechnicalKPV DisplayName = UPGRADE:QuadCannonSnipe Type = UNIT BuildTime = 5.0 BuildCost = 13794 ButtonImage = TechnicalKPV End [/code] And the button [code=plain] 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 [/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.
