Can a condition check how many units were built?

[beelee]

@wc_sumpton would a "special" unit that gets built and then turns into a "normal" one possibly work ? Like would change at endtTurn ?

edit
or next turn i guess lol Start of next players turn ? idk lol

@beelee

The problem is not the unit, but the counting of units to determine if objective for USA is achieved. @Jason-Green-Lowe wants to know if the units in the Western US territory have increased by 2 between the end of Noncombat Movement, and the end of the Placement phase. And if these units were purchased during that player turn. Maybe the count can be finagled, but there is no way to determine when these units were purchased.

@wc_sumpton can a little tiny almost invisible tty be added and then those units get moved to Western USA ?

Edit
or maybe a box ?
Can check the box then at when could change to WUSA

The only way I can think of to accomplish this is to ask USA if they wish to produce the 2 infantry units for Western US.

@beelee This ought to work, I think. Put a minor factory in the box, allow the US player to deploy units there if he wishes, and then have a condition check after placement if there are 2+ units in that box. If so, the player gets their bonus PUs. Immediately afterward, if there are 1+ units in the box, then another trigger automatically moves the units from the box to the main Western US territory. The box is not adjacent to Western US, so players cannot cheat by moving units back into the box.

Thanks for the idea!

Going a step further, and playing off of @beelee brilliant out of the box thinking, allow the USA to only purchase 'mock Infantry'. Which are the same as regular infantry to fool the AI, with the added ability 'createsUnitsList', to create an infantry unit at the end of the USA turn. Check Western US for the necessary 'mock infantry', then remove.

LOL sometime @beelee has the strangest of ideas!!

@wc_sumpton Well, that's interesting, but the way I'm supposed to make this NO work is that the units can be any units at all -- including sea units in the adjacent sea zone. Creating ~15 new unit types with associated triggers sounds like trouble.

@jason-green-lowe

Let's talk about the counting first. Western US and two adjacent sea zones, Sea Zone 1 and Sea Zone 2:

<!-- Checking to see if a territory has two units -->
<attachment name="conditionAttachment2UnitsIn1Territory" attachTo="USA" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player">
   <option name="directPresenceTerritories" value="Western US:Sea Zone 1:Sea Zone 2" count="1"/>
   <option name="unitPresence" value="mock_Infantry:mock_Armor:etc..." count="2"/>
</attachment>

<!-- Checking to see if 2 territories have 1 unit -->
<attachment name="conditionAttachment1UnitIn2Territories" attachTo="USA" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.RulesAttachment" type="player">
   <option name="directPresenceTerritories" value="Western US:Sea Zone 1:Sea Zone 2" count="2"/>
   <option name="unitPresence" value="mock Infantry:mock Armor:etc..." count="1"/>
</attachment>

With two conditions, using mock units, it is easier to determine the additional units.
