I am working on a mod based loosely on the Blizzard short story Just An Overlord. Players can build few if any buildings, and have to find and capture the others they need. I gave a unit a modified version of Parasitic Domination that allowed it to target buildings, but the captured buildings don't unlock Larva morphs and can't research upgrades. Is there a way to fix this, or maybe a simpler way to integrate building captures?
Here's one way that I thought up. When this "Capture" gets triggered on a building, the building's control is reverted to that player.
Beyond that, you can disallow certain actions (or allow other actions) to each building, which is relatively easy to do.
@WormArmy: Go Instead of applying a behavior that changes ownership, use a Modify Unit effect to do that. Its like only the effect really converts the ownership, the behavior lets you control it, but it doesnt count as yours for supplies, upgrades or anything else.

That's a better idea. SoulFilcher has more experience with this than I do.
