Changing the research level

[ajzdfd]

I have this trigger:

• Research B
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Team1_B Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Player - Set the current research level of Checkpoint B to 1 for Player 1 (Red)
        • Player - Set the current research level of Checkpoint B to 1 for Player 2 (Blue)
      • Else - Actions
        • Player - Set the current research level of Checkpoint B to 0 for Player 1 (Red)
        • Player - Set the current research level of Checkpoint B to 0 for Player 2 (Blue)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

I thought this would bring the research level back to 0 when "Team1_B" is equal to false but it didnt. anyone know what the problem is? +rep

Well, are you sure that it gets set to false at any time ??? :S
Maybe you could add a game-message to the "Else" there, so you know that it gets set to false

 

[ajzdfd]

what do you mean a game-message?

I have a seperate trigger that sets it to false

 

[DarkSonicele]

If you read the little noticetion at the bottom of the action box, you would notice that it's impossible to decrease the level of upgrades.

 

[Komaqtion]

Well, since the "Else" actions will triger if "Team1_B" Gets set to false, then add a game-message, so you can see if it ever gets set to false.
And also, show the trigger where you set it to false

 

[ajzdfd]

DarkSonicele is right. So now i gotta ask how could i reduce the level of research through a trigger?

 

[ludnica]

You can't. Alternatively, you can make another upgrade that does the opposite of the one you're researching, and research it to "decrease" the current one.

 

[ajzdfd]

i dont think that works for my situation. im using the upgrades as techtree requirements for units. so when "Team1_B" becomes true the unit becomes available. I want it so that when "Team1_B" becomes false the unit becomes unavailable again

 

[Gtam]

Well you could make units avalable and unavalable for construction

 

[ajzdfd]

thank you. i just found that option

Or you can make it require some invisible building. When Team1_B becomes true, spawn the building in the corner of the map. When it's false, remove it.
