is there a way to have upgrade requirements or ANY requirements in order to buy an item or a unit?

replies are greatly appreciated

You could trigger it, and remove the item/unit and give money back if they don't have the required stuff.

EDIT: You could also make it so that they only appear if they have the requirements.

Set up a trigger that either responds to a change or periodically checks to see if a condition has been met as well as a boolean variable indicating if the item is in the market or not. Then just add or remove the item accordingly.

Neutral Building - Add [Item] to all marketplaces with [#] in stock and a max stock of [#]

Another solution is adding a techtree requirement, that way you can have the items function like the ones in the Player-built shops, only allowing certain items to be purchased if they have certain units.

You could replace all items with units and have the same info for each and such, then you can trigger it so if they hire a unit or something it removes the unit and gives the hero the item. This way you can add techtree-ness into the item purchasing system.

Items can have techtree requirements too.

Tech tree requirment doesnt seem to apply to items bought. Only those those constructed or trained.

I will look at your cocept of Add sale item into Neutral building. Same deal here its a personal shop.

Personally having multiple upgrades for the shop will not work. Replacing the shop with a similar shop with more items, will add to many units that I dont need to the game.
