Question about Native GetPlayerTechResearched

[Akolyt0r]

constant native GetPlayerTechResearched takes player whichPlayer, integer techid, boolean specificonly returns boolean

whats this boolean specificonly ?

anyone knows what this is for ?

EDIT:
Another Question: Somebody knows a good way of finding the Techlevel of an Research/Upgrade ? ...if not i will just register when a player techs and add that to an integer array, but i will need 6 arrays for that, which is quite ugly .....(got 6 different Techs i need to register, so that i can get the level of it later)

I probably verifies if a player has researched a certain upgrade.

As for your extra question :

constant native GetPlayerTechCount takes player whichPlayer, integer techid, boolean specificonly returns integer

does exactly what you need.

For the other one: I have no glue, sorry :/

Ah nice ...i did search for "research in the function list though didnt find it ...thought there would be no native for that ...xD

thanks for the hint

I didnt find anything related to specificonly, only in the blizzard.j where it was used and one function and always set to true. so just set it to true and hope theres nothing wrong with it...

Perhaps it's a boolean to include other levels of the upgrade?

 

[Trollvottel]

which OTHER lvls? you cant specify a level...

 

[T.s.e]

I was wrong, the rawcode of upgrades aren't different at other upgrade levels.

I don't think this is actually doing something...
Or, if it does, it's unknown.

Though, if you're interested in a random guess:

if GetPlayerTechResearched(Player(0), 'unec', true) then
    call DisplayTextToPlayer(GetLocalPlayer(), 0, 0, I2S(GetPlayerTechCount(Player(0), 'unec', true)))
endif

Can you see what that is doing?
+10 rep for the first one to tell us


As such, the random guess would be to take into account (true) or ignore (false) dependency equivalents.
"Random" from the simple fact I tested this and noticed no difference...

Well, might just as well be one of those "we planned to, but didn't" features.

should display the tech level of 'unec' (undead necromancer?) for player 1 to all players who are playing at the moment, if its researched.
