remove dependency to something

[pjlasl]

I just started looking into modding and looking how things are done, and I wanted to know if I could remove an item's dependency for research.

In my little playground, I am trying to remove the dependency laser pistol has on laser weapons.

in my .rul file i have something like this:

research:
  - delete: STR_LASER_WEAPONS
  - name: STR_LASER_PISTOL
    cost: 100
    points: 10
    needItem: true

It isn't working...My guess it is still pulling in the dependency from the xcom1ruleset file...correct?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

What you did was delete the Laser Weapons research entry, not the Laser Pistol's dependencies. The Laser Pistol entry will simply amend your modifications onto the core rules while still keeping the original dependencies. Also with the Laser Pistol entry set to needItem: true, then the Laser Pistol will require you have one already in your base's storage in order to research. Try this.

Code: [Select]

  - delete: STR_LASER_PISTOL
  - delete: STR_LASER_WEAPONS
  - name: STR_LASER_PISTOL
    cost: 100
    points: 10

AH!. Need to delete the core entry. It worked perfectly.

Thanks!

I didn't try that approach. I will give it a go.
