Team-shared upgrades

[Mechcash]

So this is a big one I guess: Iam looking for a way, which allows that 1 player of the team is able to build/tech up/upgrade and the upgrades get applied on the whole team without the need to upgrade seperatly for themselfes.
Also: Is it possible that tech requirements (say like an upgrade which is needed to unlock something else) can be shared? So that 1 player researches/builds something and the other players of the team get access to the next techs?

I would really appreciate your help with this question.
Thank you.

- Have the upgrade with a requirement: "Ally not researching this", just base this requirement as another upgrade, doesn't matter, just make it have no bonus effects.
- The requirement is there so a player can't click on the upgrade if another ally is already researching it
- Triggers: Have a trigger on map initialization which makes the requirement researched (level 1) for all players.
Have another trigger with the event: a unit starts researching; make condition to know if it is the upgrade we wanted; Make the requirement research level to 0 for all players except the one who is researching the global upgrade.
3rd Trigger with event a unit cancels researching; make condition to know if it is the upgrade we wanted; Make the requirement research level to 1 for all players except the one who is researching the global upgrade.
Last trigger with event a unit finishes researching; make condition to know if it is the upgrade we wanted; make the research level of the upgrade and requirement to 1 for all players

make condition to know if it is the upgrade we wanted

what exactly do you mean by that + do I have to do these triggers for every single upgrade seperatly?

Answer to 2nd question: no

As Wrda suggested having some way to prevent players from researching the same tech simultaneously would probably be smart. His method will work but you'll need a different 'player not researching this' dummy tech for each real tech in your map. Otherwise a player researching any tech will lock you out of researching any other tech simultaneously, not just the same tech. As for how to let others benefit from the tech:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit finishes research
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set TempPg = (Allies of (Triggering Player))
  • Set TempInt = (Current research level of (Researched tech type) for (Triggering Player))
  • Player Group - Pick every unit in TempPg and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Player - Set level of (Researched Tech type) for (Picked Player) to TempInt
  • Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_TempPg) //cleaning the player group leak

Thank you .
Actually what I originally meant was that only one player can research anyways. Only player 1 of the team even has acces to the research buildings. So it's really just the issue that the upgrades researched, by said player 1, get applied to any player on the team. I hope you know what I mean by that.

Looking for a way that 1 player is able to upgrade stuff, while the rest of the team benefits from these upgrades. Only said player 1 can research upgrades. The other players on the team don't even have access to research etc. : So it's just 1 player who upgrades for the whole team. That's what I need help with. Thank you.

? The trigger I posted above does exactly that.
