Give and remove trigger added “unitProperty”?

Frostion

I need help with some triggering

I have a trigger (with conditions) that, when player “Trolls” owns the building/unit called “Dragon-Den” + there is no unit type "Dragon" on the map, then the Dragon-Den building spawns a Dragon for Trolls at the end of Trolls turn via createsUnitList.

I also have a trigger (with conditions) that removes the Dragon spawning again as there should only be one Dragon unit on the map. So the Dragon-Den building must have its given unitProperty removed again (<option name="unitProperty" value="createsUnitsList" count="1:Dragon"/> must be set out of action)

The problem is that the engine gives errors when I try to give the Dragon-Den...
<option name="unitProperty" value="createsUnitsList" count="0:Dragon"/>
I have also tried using -reset- instead of 0, but that also gives errors in the console. I dont understand the -reset- feature, but i tried it anyway.

How can I remove something like…
<option name="unitProperty" value="createsUnitsList" count="1:Dragon"/>
… from a unit after it havs been added to the unit's properties?

Here is the code I have been using:

@Frostion said in Give and remove trigger added “unitProperty”?:

<option name="unitProperty" value="createsUnitsList" count="-reset-:Dragon"/>

I think you should be able to just use -reset-. So something like this:

<option name="unitProperty" value="createsUnitsList" count="-reset-"/>

-reset- is used to clear any property that is actually a list of things. So createsUnitsList is a list of unit types with quantity. You could have a building generate multiple different types of units with different quantities. When you use -reset- it clears everything in that list. In your case, you only would have a single item in the list "1:Dragon" which would then be cleared.

But in theory you could have something like this in the createsUnitsList:
1:Dragon
3:DragonGuardians
10:DragonEggs

And you could clear all of those using -reset-.

For reference this list outlines which properties are lists (need reset) and which are single instance and would just override: https://github.com/triplea-maps/the_pact_of_steel/blob/master/map/games/pact_of_steel_2.xml#L3262

Thank you @redrum for the explanation, and the "-reset-" worked
