Hello there!

 

I would like to prevent players from building more than one fortress. The following script works, but it has a major flaw. If you start building two fortresses simultaneously, not only are you allowed to keep them once constructed, the whole restriction is miraculously lifted, allowing you to build as many as you want from then on.

 

*** IF ***

Player '<This Player>' has Greater Than 0 unit or structure of this type 'DwarvenFortress'

Actions if True

Player '<This Player>' allowed to build 'DwarvenFortress' is FALSE.

 

Is there a way to make this script work? What I'm thinking is to destroy an object of the chosen type owned by a player if they build more than one, or better yet, ALL objects of the chosen type (to really punish fort spammers). But I don't know how to do that...

Alternatively, you could use map.ini to add a "MaxSimultaneousOfType = 1" To each fortress object.
However I'm not to sure how to write that.
Basically, this code hard limits the unit/object to the number you state. i.e. Most mini hero hordes have this code but set to "MaxSimultaneousOfType = 3" so players and ai are limited to only be able to buy 3 hordes of hero units..

As far as I know the MaxSimultaneousOfType thing is a little bit more complicated for fortresses....because the fortress is an object that unpacks...and that makes that parameter go wild and not recognize theres 1 already... worth a try though.

Otherwise the only way outside scripts that I can think of is using upgrades, fort giving an upgrade/removing it when its destroyed so builder can construct/not a new fort.

Thanks for the help, guys.

 

"MaxSimultaneousOfType" seems to work better than the scripts, but it is still possible to start building more than one fortress simultaneously. However, it still works after you've (re)built your fortress(es) and you can't build any more unless you demolish all you currently have.

 

I've tried the combination of the two, but that just completely prevents you from building forts, regardless of how many you own.
