Special Food Cap building.

[olvenmage]

So I was planning to make a very cool race which utilizes the food quite a bit. So I wanted to make a building that increases the maximum food cap, but only for that player ( I know about game constants ). Example: Building that increases max by 10. then it would be 'X/110'. If this is not possible then just tell me, then I'll scrap that idea, but help is always appreciated

edit:

horrible idea, do as the other comments suggested

As far as I know this is impossible.

There are workarounds, but they are not perfect. You could make the gameplay constant food cap 1000 and trigger so that only 230 could be used for player 1. But you'd have to prevent units from being trained with triggers, and the UI would show incorrect food cap as well. You can fix that by preventing more than X food production buildings.

Just change gameplay constants then use:

• Player - Set Player 1 (Red) Food cap to 100

for all other players.

Hmmm... Does this then work:
Pick all players - set food cap 100.
( I won't type this exactly as in the triggers)
event: building finishes building
condition: build building equal to <foodbuilding>
action: set food cap picked player to 120.


Now one problem, what if you get multiples of the building? how do you +20. I know you can use chaos to make different buildings the entire time, or activate/deactivate triggers, but is there an easier work around? Thanks a lot so far!

Use "Player - Add Property" than "Player - Set Property"

• Player - Add 20 to (Player) Food cap

Thanks the silent + bear

I had no idea you could do that.
Might be because I have never modified food.
