Is there a way to research something via triggers? What I want to do is make a game with a "Swing Player" (one who can be on either team) but I want Mind Control to be researched if he is on one side, but not researched if he is on the other team. Is there a simple way to do this? The only way I can think of is to make the upgrade rediculously expensive, and give him that money and not let him do anything until it is all gone (via upgrading mind control)

Switching research status back and forth isn't really possible since once you researched a tech there's no way to remove it.
You could, however, control it's ability to cast the spell by modifying all his Dark Archon's energy.
And if you only need it to be researched once and then keep it that way for the rest of the game there's a way:
Have a any player (say P8) researched the mind control and have the player in question (say P1) have it enabled. Then to research it, simpy give a dark archon from P8 to P1. That researches it for P1 even if you immediately remove the da given from P8.

If you are using SCMDraft, there is an easier way.
When you go to Map Settings>Tech Settings, and select the Mind Control tech, you have the choice to disable it. If you look at the bottom right corner of the Tech Settings box, you can make it so each player is not using the default settings. All you have to do, it disable the right tech for each player, and your on your way.

Well the first option wouldn't work because Mind Control would cost around 10 energy while feedback will cost around 200, but the 2nd option would work. Thank you for your help

Oooh that's interesting Nude, are you sure about that?
Would that apply to like Ocular Implants?

No, it only applies to spells, not upgrades. You can tell if something is a spell because spells are active abilities whereas upgrades are passive. Basically, anything with a button associated (eg. the Lockdown button is associated with researching Lockdown) is a spell; anything else is an upgrade. (I think Ventral Sacks might be an exception, though... Can someone confirm this?)
But yes, he is sure.
None.
I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.
Works with some upgrades (e.g. reaver damage; could be the only one) and many technologies (maybe all?).

I was under the impression that handing tech over worked for everything except normal armor/wep upgrades. Does anyone have an example they've definitely tested as false to this?
None.
Just tested. It works for Lockdown, as expected, and not for Ocular Implants, an upgrade.
None.
There's a pretty clear distinction in SCM Draft between Tech and Upgrades, as each are given different tabs, if it's in the tech tab, it will be transferred by giving units, otherwise is disappears.
None.
However, Scout speed does definitely get transferred, as I use that in my Missile Command map, and that's under upgrades. soooo....
None.
