How to randomly research an upgrade? {each 10 minutes}

[moRIs]

I have a human Lumber Mill that has 4 upgrades (Iron Forged Sword, Iron Plating, Studded Leather Armor, Black Gunpowder). After 10 minutes of play i want to randomly research one of these upgrades. Is there a way to do that?

make a trigger that runs after 600 seconds have gone

then make an Integer variable and set it in the trigger to (Random number between 1 and 4)

lastly, check with "If - Then - Else" actions if, for example, the Integer variable is 1 set the level of Iron Forged Sword for the player to 1(or Level of Iron Forged Sword for the player + 1 if he can research it for himself), until you have one "If - Then - Else" for each of the upgrades

you can try following trigger:

• Tech
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 600.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Random integer number between 1 and 4) Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Order Lumber Mill 0004 <gen> to research 1
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Random integer number between 1 and 4) Equal to 2
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Order Lumber Mill 0004 <gen> to research 2
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Random integer number between 1 and 4) Equal to 3
              • Then - Actions
                • Unit - Order Lumber Mill 0004 <gen> to research 3
              • Else - Actions
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • (Random integer number between 1 and 4) Equal to 4
                  • Then - Actions
                    • Unit - Order Lumber Mill 0004 <gen> to research 4
                  • Else - Actions
                    • Do nothing

1 2 3 4 (the research numbers) stands for the upgrades you wanna tech. If you want a tech every 600.00 seconds - then you simply change the Event

Actually I did the same thing as you, but I deleted my post in the edit. It was truly a ninja-post Razorbrain made.

actually, Dr.Boom, your trigger wouldnt work for his idea anyway, since he wanted 1 of the 4 techs to be researched, and your trigger actually has a very small chance to research none of them

and then im gone.....
