get research requirement

[atab]

hi all,

i have a rather simple question, but i think the answer won't
i want to know if it is possible to get the required tech level of an ability when being cast

for example, if a banshee uses "possession" then ill get a 2 as it requires the master training;
and if it uses the magic shield ill get a 1 (for adept training).

i hope i was clear enough :/
but thanks for your replies anyway

Well, you can get the level of a research this way:

• Set level = (Current research level of Banshee Adept Training for (Owner of (Casting unit)))

but yeah, I don't think what you want is supported as it is in wc3 without a customly implemented system.

Something like:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • Or - Any condition is true
    • (Ability being cast) equal to Possession
    • (Ability being cast) equal to Anti-Magic Shell
• Actions
  • Set int = Current research level of Banshee Adept Training for (Triggering Player)

Maybe?

What I realized as I was replying, is that if you have level 2 Banshee Adept Training while casting Anti-Magic Shell, it will still return 2, and atab wants it to return 1 in that case, since that is the requirement level.

Oh. Oh... Oooooooh... :| ...ops?

I wonder if there is a way to reference Techtree Requirements Level... It shows up in Tooltips, so I would say maybe with one of the underground WEs ?

well thanks for your posts
tbh, i thought i edited my post to be more clear (and even without it you got my point the-silent ) but yes, i wanted it said "1" or "2" regardless of the curent research.


and indeed, i was quite sure it wouldn't exist... but still wanted a confirm for more experienced users than me
i'll then use "the long path" to acheve that (which is close to what you proposed nedio ^^ one trigger per ability)
