Living entity conditional requirement check

I want to use a conditional that checks if a particular unit is alive.

So far, required_entity only checks once - meaning that if you ever build the unit then this will be true.

I tried to create an always_on ability that is given to the unit when it's built so that when it dies that ability is no longer active, but it doesn't seem to function correctly.

Could I use SCAR for this functionality?

Thanks

You could. The best way would probably be to check for when that type of unit is built and add a rule to execute on its death that removes the upgrade.

So how would I go about that exactly? I haven't used SCAR yet

Well, you would have to learn to program in Lua, as SCAR is an extension of that.

Here are a list of Relic functions:

Unfortunately, there is no clean way to get which units a player has built, so you will have to use some workarounds. It would be nice if Relic activated the Game Event GE_SquadCalledIn...

I use python in my day job so I can probably pick up LUA, just need to figure out how to use it in the environment.

Thanks for the help links.
