Upgrading Tanks

[felipe]

I've been working on a tower defense game, and I need to figure out a way to upgrade the tanks. I know that you should be able to upgrade damage, reload time, or range, but all I need to figure out is what the process should be to upgrad them. What would look best?

Well, im not sure what your game looks like and what exactly the concept of your game is, but I suppose that you should be able to select each tower/tank (whatever you call it) one by one, with a description , sell and upgrade button on the right hand side of your screen. Like this one here:

do you know the actionscript for that?

upgrade damage, reload time, range
technically.... its all just numbers right ??
If you got all the basic functions of the game working, with your tank being able to damage the enemy etc etc, "upgrading" your tanks would simply be a matter of changing some numbers for the specific duplicated movieclip that you are targetting.
It seems that the problem here is not in upgrading your tanks, but in implementing them in the first place.

thanks, whizkid. I found out how it would work. Now its time to move on to other petty errors in the game!
