Limiting number of units of type

[TheAncient]

I know how to limit a unit, but i cant seem to get one trigger to work right.

Basically your limit of UnitA must be equal to 3+(2*(# of UnitB you own))

ive tried and failed to get it to work.

You need to give some more details. Copy the trigger over too.

 

[mckill2009]

make a loop to check how many UnitB is created then set your formula that way...

 

[Ameranth]

A loop seems unnecessary and inefficient.

Simply trigger to any method for creating UnitB to add 1 to # of UnitB's count. Now whenever UnitA is attempted to be created, if the amount of UnitB is insufficient, block the production of UnitA.

• Player - Limit training of Footman to 1 for YourPlayerVariable

In the 1, put your formula in it.

 

[mckill2009]

a loop does not necessarily means a 'timer loop', but a loop is a repeating instance, like
training a certain type of unit, reviving, killing, etc...

sample;

• Event
  • Unit - Finishes training a unit
• Condition
  • Unit - unit-type of trained unit equals to unitB
• ACtions
  • your formula here...

 

[Ameranth]

Common usage of the term loop when in reference to computation suggests usage of a timed event or conventional loop with a counted number of executions. I doubt the OP would have understood what you just explained from your original post.

Thank you for clarifying.

never mind. i found a different solution to the generic problem. one more strategic and simple.

thanks anyway all
