Requirements

Requirements are used by the Data Editor to hide or show abilities, units, and upgrades based on whether the requirement is met or not.

Requirement Nodes

Requirement nodes are the editor's way of displaying the different requirements. The Use node enables an ability, unit, or upgrade if the requirement is true. The Show node only displays the ability, unit, or upgrade.

Here you can see the requirements editor. There are two views you can use to look at your requirements: Tree view, and Expression view. In tree view, you can see there is one main folder, which has the same name as your requirement. This is in fact the requirement. Underneath it, there are the Use and Show nodes. You can add new requirement nodes within those nodes, which will be what actually do the requirements.

Requirement Comparisons List

This dropdown box contains the possible comparisons to use for your requirements.

Ability Allowed checks whether a particular ability is enabled and useable. For example, if Siege Mode is not yet researched for the Siege Tank, and you check if the Siege Mode Ability is Allowed, this requirement will return false. If it becomes researched, the requirement will return true.

And is placed inbetween two requirements. It means the entire requirement will return false unless both surrounding requirements are true.

Behaviour Allowed checks whether a particular behaviour is enabled and useable.

Constant checks if the above requirement is equal to a constant number.
