Hello,
So I wanted to make a trigger so that when a team owns a specific Circle of Power, their researchs begins at 30%.
However, I don't find any action command that allows me to set research progress to x%.
If anyone can tell me how to do this, please help me.
thanks

An idea I would have: Make each research a building upgrade.
You can manipulate building construction speed and construction progress
( assuming upgrading a building is the same as constructing one)
From what I now there is no such manipulation for researches.

I can't really do that, there are sooo many research, it's a map based on Civilization...
Well... If I cant do that, I'll try to find something else. It was supposed to be an advantage given by a Circle of Power, so I'll find another advantage...

you could emulate the upgrades by dummy abilities completely on your own. Use a timer for each upgrade process that uses a variable (per team and ability) for the left time till upgrade is complete.

Like that you could manipulate the time by just increasing the variable or decreasing it.

you could display an upgrade status bar via a multiboard but you would not be able to see the upgrade process like in standard wc3 upgrades.
