fireConstraintType "ResearchSubject"?

from Sins Forums

I noticed the "fireConstraintType" variable in the files, but the only states of it I found are "StarBaseUpgradeLevel" followed by "requiredStarBaseWeaponLevel 2" on Starbase weapons 2 and 3 and "CanAlwaysFire" on everything else.

Is there any parameter for fireConstraintType to allow me to do something like this?

fireConstraintType "prerequisitResearch"

Researchsubject_weapondamage_wave0

Level 1

So in words instead of code, I want to do something like with the Starbases, but instead of weapons being inactive untill a certain upgrade, they should be inactive untill a certain subject was researched.

As the wiki suggests, it's most definitely possible.  I think that the Tech Hangar Defense entity file will have what you need if you're looking for an example.

Ah... completely forgot about the TEC Hangar.

Thanks for pointing it out :) . It works just the way I hoped.

If anyone's interrested here's the code:

fireConstraintType "Research"
    researchPrerequisites
        NumResearchPrerequisites 1
        ResearchPrerequisite
            Subject "RESEARCHSUBJECT_WEAPONDAMAGE_WAVE0"
            Level 1
