I've tried this three ways and it crashes or doesn't work. I'm trying to make special powers available only if the player is holding the ring.

If I add this it crashes:

	Behavior = ModelConditionUpgrade ModuleTag_MakeMeLordSauron
		TriggeredBy			= Upgrade_RingHero Upgrade_FortressRingHero ;;;Upgrade_MordorFaction
		AddConditionFlags	= I_HAVE_THE_RING
		Permanent			= Yes
	End
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
If I add this it crashes:

	Behavior = RemoveUpgradeUpgrade ModuleTag_MakeMeLordSauron
		TriggeredBy					= Upgrade_RingHero Upgrade_FortressRingHero
		UpgradeToRemove				= Upgrade_FienxRingHackPart
		RemoveFromAllPlayerObjects	= Yes
		SuppressEvaEventForRemoval	= Yes ; Hack -- this is to avoid the Eva event about 'Gollum stole our ring'
		                                 ; when we are actually losing the upgrade because we built the ring hero
	End	
	Behavior = ModelConditionUpgrade ModuleTag_IamTheSpiritOfSauron
		TriggeredBy					= Upgrade_FienxRingHackPart
		AddConditionFlags			= USER_77
		Permanent					= Yes
	End
	

ALONG WITH ANY ATTEMPT TO HACK BY GRANTING A GENERAL UPGRADE THAT GETS REMOVE BY HAVING THE RING AND PREVENTING AN ABILITY BY
HAVING THE GENRAL ABILTIY

;;;FOR INSTANCE;;;... ...	-->	Behavior = SpecialAbilityUpdate ModuleTag_08 ...
                                           RejectedConditions		= USER_77 

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
And if I use it in the command button then the ability is greyed out, but never unlocks when getting the ring...

CommandButton Command_PowerWhatever
	Command				= SPECIAL_POWER
	Options				= NEED_UPGRADE		
	NeededUpgrade		= Upgrade_RingHero Upgrade_FortressRingHero ;;;this upgrade...
	TextLabel			= CONTROLBAR:Blahbblahblah
	ButtonImage		= Whatever 
	ButtonBorderType	= ACTION ;whatever it would normally say for a special power
	DescriptLabel		= CONTROLBAR:ToolTipblahblahblah
	InPalantir			= Yes
	Radial				= Yes
End

Look, the CommandButton part should work as far as i see, i think there is a easier way to do all of this.
Fortess give to upgrades when the ring enters, Upgrade_RingHero and Upgrade_FortressRingHero, "Upgrade_FortressRingHero" its a Object upgrade and its no usefull for what you want, but Upgrade_RingHero its a player upgrade, so, you can use it for power unloking.
I suggest you to do it like EA normaly does, by:

;----  POWER UNPAUSE  ----

	Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_KnifeEnabler
		SpecialPowerTemplate = SpecialAbilityGimliHeroMode
		TriggeredBy = Upgrade_RingHero
	End

;---- AND THE POWER -----

	Behavior = WeaponModeSpecialPowerUpdate ModuleTag_KnifeFighterPowerUpdate
		SpecialPowerTemplate	= SpecialAbilityGimliHeroMode
		Duration				= 25000 ; ;30000												; Needs to match SpecialAbilityGimliHeroMode
		AttributeModifier		= Slayer
		;LockWeaponSlot			= SECONDARY
		WeaponSetFlags			= WEAPONSET_TOGGLE_1
		StartsPaused			= Yes
		;InitiateSound 			= AragornBladeMaster		;this doesn't work
	End

instead of use NeededUpgrade in CommandButton. Try doing it this way. Beside, use common model condition flags, like "FORTRESS_IMPROVEMENT_8" that no unit use it, but its a valid flag, so it won't make any trouble. I hope it help.
