Two options:
1- A marine with 500 HP, 12 atk and 0 armor be upgraded to have 1500 HP, 100 attack and 10 armor, without killing it.
2- Disappear a marine, and replace it to create a Hero marine (Jim). When the marine "disappears" it will not count as a player's dead at the end of the map.
Is the first one possible? Can you actually disappear a unit?
Any of the two can help me.
You use the action
Remove Unit at Location
didn't really get that description because it is quite confusing. By disappearing a unit do u mean cloak? If so use the tutorial in the database or if you mean to make it physically disappear just use remove unit. The first one is not possible. If you want different health and dmg stats you have to use another unit. So use the second one. In addition, what do u mean when it disappears it will not count as a death at the end of a map? Use remove unit and it won't count as a death. If you have a losing trigger that involves the amount of marine the player controls and not deaths, create the losing trigger with a condition that says "player commands 0 marine, player commands 0 jim raynor (marine)".
When he says disappear, he means not die
He means just remove but in a much more simple way.
He wants to make a map where the normal marine is replaced with the hero marine.
Edit - like the map attached?
To lazy to look at map but you could do this so that the player won't count as dead by a catch if he has 0 men trigger
| Trigger |
| Description: |
| upgrade marine without setting player has 0 men |
|
| Players: |
| ¤ People |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ upgrade |
| Actions: |
¤ Center location Upgrade on Marine owned by Current Player at anywhere
|
¤ Move 1 marine for Current Player at Upgrade to confined box
|
¤ Create 1 Jim Raynor at Upgrade for Current Player
|
| ¤ Remove 1 Marine for Current Player at confined box |
You could let the player have minerals so the player could upgrade atk/armor
It doesn't matter what order you put the remove and create in as long as there are no waits between, you can just go
| Trigger |
| Actions: |
¤ Move location 'upgHero' to plain marine at 'anywhere'
|
¤ remove 1 plain marine at 'upghero'
|
| ¤ create 1 Raynor at 'upghero' |
It will fire the entire trigger before checking
any other triggers.
As for deaths, removing a unit doesn't count as the unit dying. It just doesn't exist anymore.

He wants HP upgraded too.

The death count doesn't go up if you kill it ither.
And I don't understand why DT battle cruser wants to move the unit then remove it. It works as Stereo Said
Remember to use HyperTriggers to make it look like it was instant and nothing happened. If you don't use Hyper Triggers it will look like it was removed and another unit appeared.

Because with Steros method you can't stick a wait between dissapear and create... O wait you wouldnt' want to would you? Lol.

Nope it would still appear instant even without hyper triggers.
Killing leaves a sprite of the unit dead, but doesn't add to Death Count, only "Physical" kills within the game itself does, like a Marine shooting a Zergling to death would count, but killing any unit that entry a location wouldn't.
You could use Upgrades to increase Armour/Shields/Attack but not Health itself, Shields is useful if used correctly, while Armour is easy to understand.
Thanks guys, I got it now.

in the action once its time for him to get upgraded use remove unit at location blah blah blah then create unit this way wonnt show he got a death i think

So, get out of this forum.
try this way. Removing him then great the Hero Jim. Or try moving him to another spot if you need him later on in the game.
Edit: Never mind!
