Hi,
I have chosen to use upgrades instead of sciences for my mod. The only thing is I dont think you can have upgrades as prerequisites. Here is what I've got:

  Prerequisites
    Object = AmericaWarFactory
    Upgrade = Upgrade_ArmourGeneral
  End

It hasnt worked though. I want to know, is it a simple mistake or can upgrades not be used as prerequisites?

check this out,

Upgrades.ini / you must build a new upgrade

Upgrade Upgrade_AdvancedBuildings
DisplayName = UPGRADE:AdvancedBuildings
BuildTime = 30.0 ;Beliebige Bauzeit
BuildCost = 500 ;Beliebige Kosten
ButtonImage = AdvancedBuildings ;Beliebiges Icon
ResearchSound = NoSound
End


System.ini / you build adummy object, dident work without that

Object AdvancedBuildingsUpgrade

; ***DESIGN parameters ***
DisplayName = OBJECT:BattleDrone
Side = GLA
EditorSorting = SYSTEM
TransportSlotCount = 0 ;how many "slots" we take in a transport (0 == not transportable)

; *** ENGINEERING Parameters ***
KindOf = PRELOAD CAN_CAST_REFLECTIONS VEHICLE UNATTACKABLE
Body = ActiveBody ModuleTag_03
MaxHealth = 1000.0
InitialHealth = 1000.0
End

Behavior = AIUpdateInterface ModuleTag_04
;nothing
End

Locomotor = SET_NORMAL BattleDroneLocomotor

Behavior = PhysicsBehavior ModuleTag_05
Mass = 50.0
KillWhenRestingOnGround = Yes
AllowBouncing = No
End

Behavior = DestroyDie ModuleTag_08
DeathTypes = ALL
End

Behavior = UpgradeDie ModuleTag_99
;This frees the object based upgrade for the producer object.
DeathTypes = ALL
UpgradeToRemove = Upgrade_AdvancedBuildings ModuleTag_13
End

Geometry = CYLINDER
GeometryMajorRadius = 5
GeometryMinorRadius = 5
GeometryHeight = 10.0
GeometryIsSmall = Yes
Shadow = SHADOW_VOLUME
ShadowSizeX = 89 ; minimum elevation angle above horizon. Used to limit shadow length

End


ObjectCreationList.ini

ObjectCreationList OCL_AdvancedBuildings
CreateObject
Offset = X:-8 Y:0 Z:10 ;Spawn at backpack offset
ObjectNames = AdvancedBuildingsUpgrade
IgnorePrimaryObstacle = Yes
Disposition = LIKE_EXISTING
Count = 1
RequiresLivePlayer = Yes
End
End


FactionBuilding.ini / FactionUnit.ini

Prerequisites
Object = AdvancedBuildingsUpgrade ;Dummy Object
End

Behavior = ObjectCreationUpgrade ModuleTag_97
UpgradeObject = OCL_AdvancedBuildings
TriggeredBy = Upgrade_AdvancedBuildings
End


give me a credit when it works corectly

Kool, I'll try that but in the end I think I'll have to go with sciences
