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I tried to create an always_on ability that is given to the unit when it's built so that when it dies that ability is no longer active, but it doesn't seem to function correctly.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

Lady Xenarra: @Willy Pete The lack of April Fools this year is odd lol

aerafield: yeah I already prepared my "Can't believe there's comic mode for the 10 daily visitors even on this April 1st"

01 Apr 2025, 20:29 PM

Rosbone: @dasheepeh I guess that means this site is officially dead

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy
