Upgrade Prerequisites
Hey, I'm looking to have upgrades that require Science based prerequisites - any ideas on how to implement this?

Hmm, maybe have the relevant unit or structure create an object that requires this prerequisite. This object will not be visible, it will be deleted immediately, but not before it grants the specified upgrade. Another option is to put the upgrade on a relevant structure that would instead have this prerequisite. Purchasing the upgrade could then trigger a CommandSetUpgrade somewhere, where a further upgrade can then be offered (particularly if it's an object upgrade). If you catch my drift?  |

Try adding Options=NEED_SPECIAL_POWER_SCIENCE and Science=SCIENCE_YourScienceHere to your upgrade's CommandButton code.

That's interesting, I never even thought of trying that, but I probably will in future seeing how it works so well. My ideas should work too, but no point in even considering them now.

Yeah, the MOAB upgrade for the Daisy Cutter Bomb uses the method CommieDog highlighted.

I need it for one of my mod, i got my BioGen with the Bio-Matter upgrade, but i only want you to be able to get this upgrade if you have a barracks pressent.

There is, sort of...
Use a GrantScienceUpdate I think it is, along with a GrantUpgradeCreate (to activate the science) on the object you need as a prerequisite to the upgrade, and have the upgrade require the Science that the object gives you.
Catch is, the upgrade will still be accessable after you lose or sell the prerequisite object.
