Disabling Upgrades/Research

[Ghost765]

If a build finishes upgrade/research X, then he can no longer upgrade/research Y, and vice versa. is there an action for this?

why not just make it the maximum research available? or make it require something it dosnt have

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes research
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Researched tech-type) equal to ResearchX
      • Then - Actions
        • Player - Disable ResearchY for (Owner of (Triggering Unit))
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Researched tech-type) equal to ResearchY
          • Then - Actions
            • Player - Disable ResearchX for (Owner of (Triggering Unit))
          • Else - Actions

Pretty simple.

theres no "disable tech" action. i tried making it so that the tech's max research goes to zero when the other tech is researched, but still doesnt work

Hm.... Good point.

 

[Ghost765]

exactly. any one else have any ideas?

You can make the "researches" units. When the building finishes training unitX you will run a trigger that sets researchX to 1 and that will also make unitY unable to be trained (limit training for unitY to 0). Also the trigger should remove the trained unit from the game.

The same idea applies for researchY

Maybe you could make 2 dummy buildings?
"ResearchX not Researched"
"ResearchY not Researched"
Give these to every player who can research that, then add requirements for ResearchX, the building "ResearchY not Researched" and Vice Versa.
Make these buildings for each player that can research X and Y.
Instead of doing idodik's imaginary Action, just do "Remove ResearchY not Researched from the game" ... and Vice Versa.
