Ah, thank you Ahli. I wasn't sure how to properly work with the Signal events but since I wanted it this change to occur when the marine got to level 3 I used the BehaviorLevel event and it worked out perfectly! I'm still obviously new to the editor, I should've thought of swapping the actor or just a plain 'ol morph. Thank you again!
I've managed to uncover the combat shield on a single marine when it reaches level 3 of the built-in veterancy behavior through a trigger. What I'd like to do now is compliment this by also changing the triggering unit's wireframe and group icon to the appropriate image (Assets\Textures\wireframe-terran-marine-shield.dds).
After hours of searching, the best answer I found on the web was from a forum post by blizzard (http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/2674992430) stating, "You can dynamically change the Actor's wireframe using upgrades or the Catalog Field Value Set trigger. We'll look into reusing the Upgrade UI for this trigger, which will allow you to easily see which fields can be changed."
Which only leaves me with another set of problems: 1) I am pretty certain that upgrades will affect all marines and I don't know if Catalog Field Value Set will work any differently, and more importantly, 2) I can't figure out how to even use the Catalog Field Value Set function.
So if anyone can help me solve this problem by whatever method, I would be greatly appreciative!
