The issue is that the upgrade's purchase counts as experience for the structure before enabling any upgrade. Since the Gondor Barracks have such a low exp requirement (400 as per patch 1.06) for Rank 2, the structure levels up before being granted the bonus level from the goodfactionbuildings.ini file.

 

Changing the LevelCap from 3 to 2 for the Level2 upgrade will fix the issue.

    Behavior = LevelUpUpgrade ModuleTag_LevelUpMordorOrcPitLevel2
        TriggeredBy        	= Upgrade_ImproveStructureToLevel2
        LevelsToGain    	= 1
        LevelCap        	= 2		; prevents overleveling
    End

    Behavior = LevelUpUpgrade ModuleTag_LevelUpMordorOrcPitLevel3
        TriggeredBy        	= Upgrade_ImproveStructureToLevel3
        LevelsToGain    	= 1
        LevelCap        	= 3
    End

 

Another thing I discovered is that not having a "technology" to research and having two consecutive upgrades on the same structure (units too, I suppose) messes with how  the tooltip conditions are being handled. Long story short, you'll have to use LacksPrerequisiteLabel for the level 3 upgrade rather than the usual DescriptLabel.

If you're interested, I can post a detailed tutorial with some of the codes/tooltips I'm currently using. Fair warning, I'm using a gamedata.ini substitute and being rather thorough.

First of all thank you for replying, I only just caught the reply because i didnt notice the 2nd page post.

 

Changing the LevelCap from 3 to 2 for the Level2 upgrade will fix the issue.

 

So I dont plan on publishing this mod, its for personal use only and as long as I can solve the skip level 2 for certain buildings issue then it's complete for my use-case. I will try your 2 suggestions and get back to you. I do really appreciate your willingness to help me.

 

edit: Made the changes and it works perfectly, thank you very much
