Dependency Equivalent?

[RCS12]

I'm just wondering guys.. I already know all parts of Object Editor except for this one.. Can somebody explain it to me clearly?

This field was originally the main method for getting custom heroes to count in the default "3 heroes per player" limit in melee-style games. This functionality has now been deprecated with the presence of the Gameplay Constants field "Techtree - Dependency Equivalents - Hero". The current method for achieving the objective of this field is as follows:

• Use the trigger action "Player - Limit Training of Unit-Type", and limit training of the custom hero in question to 1 (for melee-style maps, but you can make the number higher if you are trying to do something else). Put the action in a trigger that has the event "Map Initialization".
• Add the custom hero to the Gameplay Constants field "Techtree - Dependency Equivalents - Hero".
• The custom hero will now contribute towards the "3 heroes per player" limit.

Ok... Does this work on units or structures?

As far as I know, yes.

It is so that a unit type can be counted as another unit type. This is necessary for units with upgrades since the upgraded form would otherwise disable everything that required the previous form.

Best example would be the Village Hall, Town Hall and Castle since many things need a Village Hall or Town Hall and not a Castle yet you can still build them with a Castle. This is because the Castle has Dependency Equivalent of a Town Hall or Village Hall.
