I've been looking around and only show an old post about something similar, and didn't want to resurrect it.
I'm developing a mod that makes the UFO campaing a little bit more lore-focused, and I had in mind the posibility of having to research alien weapons as a general concept first, kind of what you initially do with laser weapons. I added an ufopaedia article about laser tech, and I wanted to do the same thing with plasma weapons. I was thinking on make recovered plasma weapons trigger the "Alien weapon technology" before having the chance to research the weapons themselves. But I found out OXCE only allows for a research to be dependant on the item it shares ID with. I couldn't think on an alternative, right now, maybe I'm missing something.
Is it possible to include the possibility of researching any topic in base to having an item with a different ID?
Thank you in advance.
