Change maxBuiltPerPlayer by a trigger

[VictoryFirst]

At the start of the game, the Axis powers have only one truck available to them (reflected by <option name="maxBuiltPerPlayer" value="1"/>)

<attachment name="unitAttachment" attachTo="axis-truck" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.UnitAttachment" type="unitType">
	<option name="movement" value="2"/>
	<option name="attack" value="0"/>

  <option name="maxConstructionsPerTypePerTerr" value="1"/>
  <option name="maxBuiltPerPlayer" value="1"/>
  <option name="constructionType" value="axis-truck"/>

At the start of round 7, the axis power should have an extra truck available. So the value needs to change to 2. Is it possible to do so via a trigger?

@victoryfirst
Maybe, try the following in a trigger with a condition

<option name="unitType" value="axis-truck"/>
<option name="unitProperty" value="maxBuiltPerPlayer" count="2"/>
<option name="uses" value="1"/>

Hi Victory

If what the Dog suggested doesn't work try adding "UnitAttachmentName" to the trigger. Idk if it's needed but that's always the way I have done it.

So the above takes a defend zero Transport and makes it defend at 1. Should just be able to swap in the max built unitAttachment. And have a condition for whatever rd you want it to fire.

You might want to set it to rd 2 for testing

@beelee It worked!!

	<option name="when" value="before:americansPurchase"/>

@victoryfirst Could this be used to change any value on an unit attachment? Potentially very useful.

For example, in Axis & Allies: Pacific, Commonwealth and American units have a defense strength of one on the first turn. They could start 1 and then be upgraded to their regular values at the end of the Japanese turn.

I believe so. I have used it for many different changes. It's in POS2

Not very detailed but redrum and hepps helped me figure it out and I just copied hepps stuff.

Veqryn really did an amazing job with POS2.

@beelee You can edit your post and delete everything and then type "this post is deleted". That's what I always do

<option name="unitAttachmentName" value="UnitAttachment" count="unitAttachment"/>

Btw I must say that I love this line. It makes no sense at all lol

@rogercooper I was planning to work on an improved module for A&A Pacific. The_Good_Captain made a detailed bug report for that game. Were you planning to work on it as well or did you already start working on it? Perhaps we could do it together.
