does anyone know

[Orion Somtaw]

im trying to fix a trigger to prevent cheating from going on by being two species, i have it set up to purchase the species from a store that sets it up and that all works out just fine, but to prevent cheating its set up to remove the purchased unit and add the cost to the players gold amount, that also works fine. the issue i have is adding the purchased unit back to the market place based off its current inventory for that unit.

i found this,

• Neutral Building - Add Footman to (Triggering unit) with 0 in stock and a max stock of 1

but no way to add the unit based off the inventory. so my question is:

How do you find the current value of the stock so i can use the arithmetic functions so it doesnt get all screwy. Ive tried looking to set it as an integer but to no avail as well as adding the units via trigger at the start of the game based off an integer value also to no avail, any thoughts?

im wanting to use this same fix to allow computer players for a decent but not great game but i cant get it to work

if you're really into counting the stocks then you might want to do this. but i don't know a better way of doing this. here is the triggers, i'm taking Goblin Sapper as an example

the current stock settings for Goblin Sapper is

Stats - Stock Maximum = 3 (Maximum Stocks of Goblin Sapper)
Stats - Stock Replenish Interval = 5 (the times needed to replenish 1 stock of Goblin Sapper)
Stats - Stock Start Delay = 0 (the times needed to fill the stock maximum of Goblin Sapper)

and i'm using a Unit Indexer by Bribe

and here is a test map. now you can add an arithmetic stuff by using the current stock of Goblin Sapper (the variable is SapperStock) .

thanks

i appriciate it but after digging around on another website i found out what i was doing wrong and fixed the issue, i needed to have the store not sell anything and add the units via trigger, now i need to fix my AI and ittl be a single player and then finish everything else

it adds up to success eventually with each accomplished step
