Is it possible to have a timed upgrade?

What I mean is that add upgrade to one squad through an ability, and the upgrade will be removed after several seconds.
I tried various methods but somehow none of them works:(

Any pointing will be appreciated, thanks.

What kind of ability is it? Is it still running at the moment that you want to delete the upgrade?

Actually its the ability that adds a 1 second aura to a unit, and aura contains the upgrade for units in the aura

You could add a requirement_action in sbps/action_apply. It checks on has_squad_upgrade and then in actions: a delay which removes the upgrade eventually.

That will technically work and I tried this as well, but nothing really happens.

Is the unit still affected by the aura?

Perhaps change the ability. Instead of an aura, use a target_action. Then you can make another target_action in the executor after a delay to remove the upgrades.

sorry but what do that mean by target_action? Is the one in the ability?
What I would like to achieve is several units around the target to recieve an timed upgrade.

Because I had several similar kind of abilities but I don't want them to overlay their effects on each other when casting, so the abilities will have to do upgrade check.

Perhaps take a look at "aura\aef_auras\sherman_battle_group_vet".
It uses slot_items to check the situation and those slot_items are automatically removed when the aura ends.

The aura adds a slotitem, with the setting 'permanent' : false. Other auras can check on the presence of that slotitem. The slotitem will be removed when the aura is ended.
