Changing a productionFrontier

beelee

Map uses a single Production Frontier for all players. This is what I have:

  <attachment name="triggerAttachment_TransportCost7" attachTo="Russians" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TriggerAttachment" type="player">
  <option name="trigger" value="TransportC7"/>
  <option name="productionRule" value="frontierRules:-buyTransport"/>          
 <option name="productionRule" value="frontierRules:buyTransportC7"/>
  <option name="when" value="before:russianPurchase"/>
  <option name="uses" value="1"/>
</attachment>

Unfortunately it's not working. I thought I remember seeing this done before but I can't find it. I don't want to give everybody their own production if I don't have to.

Anyone care to clue me in ?

Thanks

Second line should be <option name="conditions" value="TransportC7"/> right?

Hi Michael thanks for the reply. Yea it should be but trigger will still work. Anyway I think I need to give everyone their own production. I just thought I remembered seeing a game a few years ago that didn't do it that way.

@beelee check the name of your <productionFrontier> it might be something like 'production'.
In the line :
<option name="productionRule" value="frontierRules:-buyTransport"/>
'frontierRules' is the wrong value. Change it to the <productionFrontier> name.

Hope this helps.

Cheers...

Heh heh Thanks again for bailing me out. I was getting ready to dive in on separate for everyone

XOB says:

An option withintriggerAttachment
Parameters:

value: A colon separated pair, Format: 'productionFrontier:productionRule'

Adds or removes the productionRule at beginning of the purchase phase.
Prefix with '-' to remove the productionRule.
Note: There is a productionRule element under production.

I have:

Now I need a trigger that removes buyParatroopers

My attempt doesn't work:

..
<attachment name="triggerAttachmentGHC" attachTo="Germans" javaClass="TriggerAttachment" type="player">
<option name="when" value="after:germanEndTurn"/>
<option name="uses" value="1"/>
<option name="trigger" value="conditionAttachmentGHC"/>
<option name="productionRule" value="productionFrontier:-buyParatroopers"/>
</attachment>

what is the solution?

@Numetalfan

The 'productionFrontier' name is "productionG" so to remove "buyParatroopers" the line should read:

   <option name="productionRule" value="productionG:-buyParatroopers"/>
