Modding Help Race exclusive tech?

I have a tech I'm making that wouldn't make much sense for those outside of a certain race to use. Is there a way to limit the accessibility of a tech to a certain race? Or should I just have that tech check in its lua whether your character is of the race that can use them or not?

 

You could make a custom quest script that'd check for the specie before giving the tech?

 

A few of the tech mods(mine included) hook the scripts for the tech console in order to add techs(without need of running any quests first). There is no particular reason you can't do something similar while checking the players's race as a condition.

Edit:

Rather than a simple match of

Code:

if player.species() == "floran" then
  player.makeTechAvailable(tech)
  player.enableTech(tech)
end

If you where handling lists of techs for multiple species, a species indexed table makes more sense.

Code:

  local species = player.species()
  if techList[species] then
    for _, tech in ipairs(techList[species]) do
      player.makeTechAvailable(tech)
      player.enableTech(tech)
  else
    for _, tech in ipairs(techList["default"]) do
      player.makeTechAvailable(tech)
      player.enableTech(tech)
    end
  end

 

That's exactly what I needed, thanks!
