Research only valid while structure exists?

December 24, 2011 11:46:55 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I was wondering if it's possible to link a researchboolmodifier to a specific structure.

What I want to do is link the Hyperspace detection research to a structure that is deep space listening post. This means that you can only detect ships entering phase space if you've researched it and have the correct structure built and it's alive.

Is it even possible, or once the researchboolmodifier is complete is that it finished?

I think there's a vasari ship ability that can detect incoming ships, so maybe make a research that unlocks the building you're talking about and give that building the ability?

If you wanted phase jump detection to be limited to the structures, i'd remove the standard research for detection.

Yes it is possible.

Look at this line in the research tech and set to TRUE.

This is pretty much the only way to do what you're thinking of.

Thanks guys, the ability sounds like it will work. will have a look for it.

Ryat, I think the tierlabexist line only refers to the research labs exisitng.
