research trigger

[operation3000]

Hello, so here is my trigger request:
First thing you need to know, I want that somes units and somes buildings must not be availables, players must not be able to see it. So please, tell me how to do that

Here is my main request:
I need a research trigger that work in this way: First, a 2minutes timer must be shown. it will cooldown, and when it reach 0:00. then, a research will be unlocked. But the player must not be able to choose what, but he will know what will be unlocked. Another thing: the timer will cooldown by 1 second per second. But the player can buy a kind of unit that increase the cooldown speed: the scientist, a very expensive unit.
When the player owns 1 scientist: the cooldown will be 2 seconds per second.
If the player owns 3 scientist: the cooldown will be 4 seconds per second.
If you don't understand, please post here.
Ah and: the research that will be unlocked must be randomized in a group. Example:
there is unit 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10
Units 1-2-3-4 are in groups 1
Units 5-6-7 are in groups 2
Units 8-9 are in groups 3
Units 10 is in groups 4
All units in groups 1 must be unlocked to begin the research of groups 2, and all units in groups 2 must be unlocked to begin the research of groups 3, etc...

Please help

First of all, a "unseeable" unit. You can set them like the following:
Abilities - Normal Locust : This will allow this unit "unselectable"
Art - Ground Texture None : This will disapear the bricks below this unit if it is a structure
Art - Model File .mdl : .mdl is an error path of model, so, there will be no model for that unit, players can't even see it (it just a blank on the map, a green black box in world editor)
Stats - Sight Radius (Day)/(Night): 0 : This will allow this unit to see nothing, cause map markers/players will know something there if this unit have sight

That's all you need to make a unsee/selectable object. About the research one, i'll have to "research" about it

um here this should work for the cool down i dont understand what you want for the reasearch stuff tho

• timer
  • Events
    • use an event for when you want it to start
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set cooldown_time2[(Integer A)] = 120.00
        • Countdown Timer - Start cooldown_time[(Integer A)] as a One-shot timer that will expire in cooldown_time2[(Integer A)] seconds
        • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title cooldown?
        • Countdown Timer - Show (Last created timer window) for (Player((Integer A)))
        • Countdown Timer - Pause (Last started timer)
    • Trigger - Turn on cooldown <gen>

• cooldown
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Temp_integer[(Integer A)] = 1
        • Set Temp_Group[(Integer A)] = (Units in (Playable map area) owned by (Player((Integer A))))
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Number of units in Temp_Group[(Integer A)]) Equal to 1
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Temp_integer[(Integer A)] = 2
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Number of units in Temp_Group[(Integer A)]) Equal to 3
              • Then - Actions
                • Set Temp_integer[(Integer A)] = 4
              • Else - Actions
        • Set cooldown_time2[(Integer A)] = (cooldown_time2[(Integer A)] - (Real(Temp_integer)))
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Integer(cooldown_time2[(Integer A)])) Less than or equal to 0
          • Then - Actions
          • Else - Actions
            • Countdown Timer - Start cooldown_time[(Integer A)] as a One-shot timer that will expire in cooldown_time2[(Integer A)] seconds
            • Countdown Timer - Pause (Last started timer)

About the cooldown research, do it like above ^^!. But, about the unit group:
Set each unit you want as a group to: Techtree - Requirements: [an upgrade]. So, when you "unlocked" a group, you oder a "unseeable" unit that have this research to research that upgrade. So, that group will be available. Hopefully it helps

also i forgot to add the unit type condition add if type of unit is = to scientest
