Few questions in regard to RemoveUpgradeUpgrade code

[Egozi44 28]

So I want to remove player upgrade with some unit (the moment it spawned) but I don't really know any other method aside from the UpgradeDie code (which not help me in this situation since I don't want the upgrade to be removed only when the unit dies), So aside from lua all that I have left is the RemoveUpgradeUpgrade,

 

The issue is that I never really used RemoveUpgradeUpgrade code before, I thought at first that all I need to do was to put in in the unit's behavior

(Something like this: <RemoveUpgradeUpgrade id="ModuleTag_RemoveUpgrade" UpgradeToRemove="Upgrade"/> ) similar to the GrantUpgrade code, but after Stygs -clear my suspicion I realized I need a way to trigger the remove upgrade with trigger like upgrade.

 

That actually raised a bit more questions as for how I can trigger it,

Do I need to make upgrade ID xml for the remove upgrade just like we do with normal Upgrade?

Can I tell it which Type of upgrade to remove (Object or Player)?

When I trigger it do I need to use Grant upgrade to trigger a upgrade that trigger the RemoveUpgradeUpgrade ? (lol)

 

If someone could show my example or tell me of other method to remove upgrade I will be glad :/

Have a look at the GDI firehawk how its used.

As for OBJECT <> PLAYER i don't think there is a difference on how its used.

What maybe differ is the following:

If the Trigger Upgrade is local (OBJECT) it will only remove the upgrade on the unit/object it is triggered on. If the trigger upgrade is global(PLAYER) it will remove the upgrade from each object that has the module in its behavior section.

The following i haven't tested yet myself so this is a assumption based on logic:

Object A,B and C have a PLAYER Upgrade >>> then you trigger the remove upgrade with a OBJECT upgrade From Unit A, but not from B or C, the following effect should happen: Unit A looses the Player upgrade but unit B and C don't due to it being locally trigger (OBJECT upgrade) on unit A. If you want unit B and C to loose their upgrade aswell from the localy triggered upgrade in unit A (OBJECT upgrade) you can try to add

RemoveFromAllPlayerObjects="true"

to the module. Or ofc use a global (PLAYER) upgrade that effect all 3 units.

the RemoveFromAllPlayerObjects Needs testing, i havent used that yet myself so far.

Thanks, I sort of forgot to report I found other way to do it thanks to Stygs 5 mins after I opened the thread by simple give the removeupgrade code a trigger

<RemoveUpgradeUpgrade id="ModuleTag_RemoveUpgrade">

<TriggeredBy>Upgrade_trigger</TriggeredBy>

<UpgradeToRemove>Upgrade</UpgradeToRemove>

</RemoveUpgradeUpgrade>

 

I got stuck on other thing now but I'll open new thread for it
