upgrade limiting problem

[Anderhil]

hi brothers!
i have a problem regarding my map, see, if a player upgrades enhancement specialization in my map, the game will set elemental specialization upgrade limit to 0 and wise versa thus limiting the upgrades to one of then only . but if the upgrading unit already has both of the upgrades in queue, then it will research both of them without interference. so is there any way to pervent this?


edit: sorry for bad explaining.

You are saying

if a player upgrades enhancement specialization in my map, the game will set elemental specialization upgrade limit to 0 and wise versa thus limiting the upgrades to one of them only .

but

if the upgrading unit already has both of the upgrades, then it will research both of them without interference

How can it has both upgrades if you disable other one?

I am sorry but could you post some triggers and clarify what you said? I cannot understand what you are trying to say exactly.

 

[Anderhil]

i mean if the upgrading unit has both of them in the queue, then i cant limit the upgrades, they will both get researched.

I think what he wants is
if you upgrade iron forged swords you cannot upgrade iron plating, and he accomplishes this in his mind by when swords finishes making the upgrade level of plating set to 0. however if you start researching swords then while it's researching place plating in queue it cannot catch that you actually should only be able to do one or the other.
I think there is an event starts research and an event cancels research.
have a trigger fire when they start the research setting the level of research available for the UN-chosen to 0. and have another trigger just incase they change their mind and want to cancel and pick another upgrade by making them all available again.

You can try pause -> issue cancel/stop order -> unpause unit every time the unit finishes researching an upgrade.

That exactly is what he does not want to happen.

What is wrong Tell me the fail scenario.

 

[pOke]

what cedar has looks like it would work

 

[Anderhil]

thanks every one, i guess i'll go with the start event. that way the player wont have time to click on the other one once the research is begun, it'll have a problem with AI though, which i'm not going to script
thanks again, +rep to everyone.

Edit: One small, OR BIG problem : when a player cancels the research while on rank 2 , 3, 4 ,...
the notified research will become avalible again. any suggestions?

 

[Vinz]

Simple then. Check the rank.

What is wrong Tell me the fail scenario.

My bad, didn't understand.

 

[Anderhil]

can we check upgrade ranks? cool! thanks!

 

[Vinz]

Ofcourse. Integer Comparison -> Player -> Current Research Level

 

[Anderhil]

haha, thanks! ,i'm currently having an issue with lightning triggers in the scripts section, feel free to join in XD
