How to prevent research level from decreasing?

[Warnem55]

I have a trigger that goes:

• Add research level
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes research
  • Conditions
    • (Researched tech-type) Equal to Iron Weapons
  • Actions
    • Player - Set the max research level of Iron Plating to 1 for Player 5 (Yellow)

and a second trigger which has steel weapons setting Iron Plating to lvl 2. However i want to prevent the situation when one player researches steel weapons and then another player researches iron weapons and sets it back to 1. Any idea how to do that?

Just turn the trigger off when they level up? Also, if this is incorrect; is it possible that you could link all the triggers?

Simply:
If current research level of bla bla for yellow = less than researched tech level then set current research level of bla bla for yellow = researched level
(this isn't the exact script, of course, but I'm assuming you'd be able to figure out how to make that once I tell you, as I did recreate it fairly accurately. If you are unable to recreate this, simply ask me, and I'll go ahead and make the trigger and post it. It really is fairly simple.

Infact researches cannot be undone even via trigger.

You dont need to do anything afaik.

That. There is no way to decrease research levels.

Researches are uni directional. "unresearching" is impossible so there is no need to test weather a technology is more advanced than it already is and researching a lower level of the technology (via triggers) will do nothing.

In StarCraft II (blizzard's newest RTS game) this was changed, where research is unresearchable so you would need to test the level before applying it.

Not what I meant. I was comparing the research level of two different players, the researching player, and the AI/dummy/whatever his player yellow is.
