Unit-type per map

[Kamulec]

I need a trigger that limits non-hero unit of specified type to 8 per map at once. The problem is:
EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_TRAIN_CANCEL occurs when train order is removed from the queue
EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_TRAIN_START occurs when unit is starting to be trained (so it is 1st in the queue)

That means every cancel from 2nd and further places in queue makes my current system useless.

I would strongly appreciate your help.

can u post ur system ?
all u need to do for this is have a counter for each unit type u want. then increase the counter when a unit of that unit type has begun training. if it is max then order it to stop training. have a trigger that reduces the number when the unit cancels training or when the unit dies.

this would do

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set udg_integer_varaible [ GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit())] = udg_integer_variable [ GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit())] + 1
    • Custom script: if udg_integer_variable [ GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit()) >= 8] then
    • Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
    • Custom script: endif

i believe unit type ids are larger than array limits so this wont work u need hashtables.

• Player - Limit Training Of Unit-Type

• Player - Limit Training Of Unit-Type

thats what i get for not using GUI lol

Doesn't he want to limit units so the sum of that unit-type from all players make 8?
If yes, then limiting training of unit-type per player will be useless

If yes, then limiting training of unit-type per player will be useless

he will have to use what was suggested at the top then.

Aint unit type id like a000? If no there is a solution ima find it in a second

 

[deathismyfriend]

yes they are but that is ascii values.

ascii values can be as high as 127,127,127,127 i believe
'zzzz' would be 122,122,122,122 i believe.
its been awhile since i looked at a chart for them

Thanks for the will of help.

I need it for a specified unit-type, not all unit-types. I cannot just "remove" units, people wouldn't be happy to loose invested gold.

I think I have found another solution. If I am wrong, I'll be back and write more.
