Essentailly what I am looking to accomplish is to disable a tech upgrade from even showing up for research till a previous upgrade is purchased. Simply adding it as a techtree requirement doesn not work as the faded icon still appears. I want to use the same button position as its prerequisite and have it appear only for purchase after the first icon/upgrade is bought - opening up a space for the new one in its location. I need to be able to do this several times. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me with this.

To turn the research on use this trigger:
Code: 
Player - Set the max research level of (Tech name here) to (max tech level 1 for simple techs) for Player X (Color)

Now the tricky part. To disable the tech at the start go to Scenerio->Upgrade Properties.
then set the tech you want to dissapear to "Unavalible".
Viola!

Cool thanks. I got the techs disabled now but I am not sure about that trigger?

Doesn't this need a condition with it?

Or can I do a pick every player in group and do command?

That is not the full trigger, that is just the GUI command you would use.
That command will enable the tech for a single player. You can use
Code: 
Player Group - Pick every player in (Group) and (Do Actions)
with that command.

An alternate method (and perhaps more useful, as it can be set mid-game) is to set the maximum research level of a Technology to 0.

This disables the technology, and it disappears until you set the maximum research level to something greater than one.

Okay that's good to know but what is the condition to trigger this action. I can't find how to set this up. What is the event, condition, and action. The trigger should fire after the previous tech is upgraded? I don't know how to trigger this. Thanks.

Also another thing that I might not be clear on is that it isn't just leveling the same ability, I could do that through data entry alone, its making one upgrade be the prerequisite for another and the later vanishing until the first is used.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
