    Problem making a new upgrade

    I remember one time R3ven (formerly aka Huhnu) had done a new upgrade involving Tech upgrades for the Japan War Factory and Naval Yard as well as for the Allies Construction Yard and Outpost. I have the modified portrait icon from the Huhnu Alert3 source code that R3ven once released. Right now I am stumped on trying to make this upgrade out of the Japan War Factory in order to have tier 4 units to be buildable under that condition.

    Here's what I have added right now:

    Upgrade.xml:
    Code:
    	<UpgradeTemplate id="Upgrade_JapanWarFactoryTech4"
		inheritFrom="BasePurchasableUpgrade" 
		DisplayName="UpgradeName:JapanWarFactoryTech4"
		AcquireHint="UpgradePrereq:JapanWarFactoryTech4"
		TypeDescription="UpgradeType:JapanWarFactoryTech4"
		Description="UpgradeDesc:JapanWarFactoryTech4"
		Type="OBJECT"
		BuildTime="30.0s"
		BuildCost="3000"
		IconImage="Button_UpgradeMortar">
		<GameDependency
			ForbiddenModelConditions="STRUCTURE_UNPACKING">
			<NeededUpgrade>Upgrade_JapanWarFactoryTech3</NeededUpgrade>
		</GameDependency>
	</UpgradeTemplate>
    ButtonStateDataCommon.xml:
    Code:
    	<ButtonSingleStateData
		id="ButtonStateUpgradeJapanWarFactoryTech4">
		<State
			Image="JUA_Nanotech_Upgrade3"
			Title="NAME:UpgradeJapanWarFactoryTech4"
			Description="DESCRIPTION:UpgradeJapanWarFactoryTech4" />
	</ButtonSingleStateData>
    Images.xml:
    Code:
    	<Texture id="JapanWarFactoryUpgrade3" File="JPN_EXP_UPGRADE3.tga" OutputFormat="A8R8G8B8" GenerateMipMaps="false" AllowAutomaticResize="false"/>
	<PackedTextureImage id="JUA_Nanotech_Upgrade3" Texture="JapanWarFactoryUpgrade3" Rotated="false">
		<Dimensions x="106" y="106"/>
		<Coords x="0" y="0"/>
		<TextureDimensions x="106" y="106"/>
	</PackedTextureImage>
    In the JapanWarFactory.xml:
    Code:
    			<SubObjectsUpgrade
				id="ModuleTag_SubObjectsUpgrade3">
				<TriggeredBy>Upgrade_JapanWarFactoryTech4</TriggeredBy>
				<Nugget
					ShowSubObjects="Upgrade_04"
					HideSubObjects="Upgrade_01 Upgrade_02 Upgrade_03"						
					Upgrade="Upgrade_JapanWarFactoryTech4">
					<CustomAnimAndDuration AnimState="USER_4"/>
				</Nugget>
			</SubObjectsUpgrade>

			<AttributeModifierUpgrade
				id="ModuleTag_JapanWarFactoryTech4_AttributeModifier"
				AttributeModifier="AttributeModifer_JapanTech4_JapanWarFactory">
				<TriggeredBy>Upgrade_JapanWarFactoryTech4</TriggeredBy>
			</AttributeModifierUpgrade>
    In AttributeModifier.xml:
    Code:
    			<AttributeModifier
				id="AttributeModifer_JapanTech4_JapanWarFactory"
				Category="LEVEL">
				<Modifier Type="HEALTH_MULT" Value="125%"/>
			</AttributeModifier>
    Every time I compiled this, the compiler doesn't know the define of "Upgrade_JapanWarFactoryTech4", and the "BasePurchasableUpgrade" part doesn't cover that. Am I missing something or what?

    What source? Your Huhnu Alert 3 source or the HA3 Minimod source?

    Your source codes at that time did not contain the upgrade coding for the one I need help with, until you managed to get that working in a new RA3 mod that did not come with the source code. Btw, you lost it?

    I did include the logic command and logic command sets for the upgrade. The problem is defining the new upgrade in which the Mod SDK compiler thinks it's an error.

    As for the Mod.str, I assumed is correct for the upgrade.
    Code:
    Name:UpgradeJapanWarFactoryTech4
"Mecha Bay Clearance"
END
DESCRIPTION:UpgradeJapanWarFactoryTech4
"Unlocks advanced units to the maximum level."
END

UpgradeName:JapanWarFactoryTech4
"Mecha Bay Clearance"
END
UpgradePrereq:JapanWarFactoryTech4
"Requires Mecha Bay Breakthrough"
END
UpgradeType:JapanWarFactoryTech4
"Advanced Upgrade"
END
UpgradeDesc:JapanWarFactoryTech4
"Unlocks advanced units to the maximum level."
END
    I actually had to skip some parts in the buildlog because of this freaking forum limiting image usage in which it might have been automatic embedded links somewhere in the buildlog.

    I know R3ven did it, but how I couldn't even do this?

    Okay, I got the instance upgrade id working, compiled the test upgrade mod correctly, but it won't show up ingame. The next problem I am unsure of is the SubObjectsUpgrade in the Japan War Factory.

    Code:
    			<SubObjectsUpgrade
				id="ModuleTag_SubObjectsUpgrade">
				<TriggeredBy>Upgrade_JapanWarFactoryTech2</TriggeredBy>
				<Nugget
					ShowSubObjects="Upgrade_02"
					HideSubObjects="Upgrade_01 Upgrade_03"					
					Upgrade="Upgrade_JapanWarFactoryTech2">
					<CustomAnimAndDuration AnimState="USER_2"/>
				</Nugget>
			</SubObjectsUpgrade>
			<SubObjectsUpgrade
				id="ModuleTag_SubObjectsUpgrade2">
				<TriggeredBy>Upgrade_JapanWarFactoryTech3</TriggeredBy>
				<Nugget
					ShowSubObjects="Upgrade_03"
					HideSubObjects="Upgrade_01 Upgrade_02"						
					Upgrade="Upgrade_JapanWarFactoryTech3">
					<CustomAnimAndDuration AnimState="USER_3"/>
				</Nugget>
			</SubObjectsUpgrade>
			<SubObjectsUpgrade
				id="ModuleTag_SubObjectsUpgrade3">
				<TriggeredBy>Upgrade_JapanWarFactoryTech4</TriggeredBy>
				<Nugget
					ShowSubObjects="Upgrade_04"
					HideSubObjects="Upgrade_01 Upgrade_02 Upgrade_03" 						
					Upgrade="Upgrade_JapanWarFactoryTech4">
					<CustomAnimAndDuration AnimState="USER_4"/>
				</Nugget>
			</SubObjectsUpgrade>
    and this other part in the same file:
    Code:
    			<CommandSetUpgrade
				id="ModuleTag_CommandSetUpgrade"
				CommandSet="JapanWarFactoryCommandSetTech2">
				<TriggeredBy>Upgrade_JapanWarFactoryTech2</TriggeredBy>
			</CommandSetUpgrade>
    The question is what SubObjects shall I include, in order to show up ingame. I used a new SubObjectsUpgrade name as ModuleTag_SubObjectsUpgrade3.
