Question about removing unit placement limit

[beelee]

@Kao Hi Kao
Go to Territory Attachments and add "unitProduction" value="x" to the territory you want to produce and see if that works. There's also a "canProduceXUnits" value ="X" that you might try as a unitAttachment to your factory.

Post back if you still have trouble

[prastle]

yes its been awhile but if you look at each territory

example

<!-- Territory Attachments -->

-<attachment name="territoryAttachment" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.TerritoryAttachment" type="territory" attachTo="Afghanistan">

<option name="production" value="0"/>

<option name="isImpassable" value="true"/>

</attachment>

the production value = what a factory can produce if there is one there

new factories will still follow the ter prod value where they are placed

[Kao]

Thanks guys, but no luck

This is what I tried so far that did not work:

Rules Attachment:
<option name="placementPerTerritory" value="100"/>
<option name="maxPlacePerTerritory" value="100"/>
<option name="unlimitedProduction" value="true"/>

Territory Attachment:
<option name="unitProduction" value="100"/>

Property List:
Placement Restricted By Factory = false
Placement Per Territory Restricted = false
Territory Turn Limit = false
Unit Placement Restrictions = false
Production Per Valued Territory Restricted = false

But there is a Territory Attachment that almost worked:
<option name="originalFactory" value="true"/>

It allowed me to place any number of units there, but the documentation says that only removes the limit for the original owner, if captured the controller can only place the normal amount of units there

My intention is to remove the limit for all the players

Any more ideas?

Thanks!

@Kao change the production value to what u want that territories factory to produce

<option name="production" value="0"/>

in each ter
of original factories

new factories still follow original production rules

@Kao Try putting placement restricted by factory to true.
Add <option name="canProduceXunits" value="100"/> to your factory.
Then add <option name="unitProduction" value="100" to a territory in territoryAttachments.
There's probably a way to do it w/out having to do that to all TTys. Idk. But having the "placement restricted by factory" is set to true it will override "original factory".

This is a good place showing all the properties link text

[Kao]

@prastle I tried that but didn't work, it appears to work at first but when i click ok It gives me that error "cannot place x more units in <territory> "

@beelee Tried that as well, didn't work, I always receive the message that I'm buying more than i can place, and never allows me to place more than the territory value, I'm looking at the wiki now to check if I missed something

Offtopic, this new forum is amazing, such a pleasant interface.

@Kao and @beelee oh well e for effort been years since i looked. I guess ask frost or cernel etc

[beelee]

@Kao Hmm...pretty sure there's a way to do it. Did you put "unitProduction" below "production" ? Here's some info from POS2:

<!-- Territory Attachments -->
<!-- <option name="unitProduction" value="x"/> must be placed under <option name="production" value="x"/> if it is being used.
This is because a recent update to TripleA had the setting of 'production' automatically set 'unitProduction' to be equal to it.
If you want to set "production" without also setting "unitProduction", then please use "productionOnly"
-->

Something else you could try is getting rid of "isFactory" and go with "isConstruction". You have to add the factory stuff separate. So something like this:
*<!-- MilitaryBase -->
<attachment name="unitAttachment" attachTo="MilitaryBase" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.UnitAttachment" type="unitType">
<option name="isInfrastructure" value="true"/>
<option name="canBeDamaged" value="true"/>
<option name="maxDamage" value="6"/>
<option name="maxOperationalDamage" value="2"/>
<option name="isConstruction" value="true"/>
<option name="constructionType" value="MilitaryBase_structure"/>
<option name="constructionsPerTerrPerTypePerTurn" value="1"/>
<option name="maxConstructionsPerTypePerTerr" value="1"/>
<option name="movement" value="0"/>
<option name="isAAforBombingThisUnitOnly" value="true"/>
<option name="unitPlacementRestrictions" value="...

then add to unitAttachment to the units that can be built :
<option name="isConstruction" value="true"/>
<option name="constructionType" value="infantry_structure"/>
<option name="constructionsPerTerrPerTypePerTurn" value="10"/>
<option name="maxConstructionsPerTypePerTerr" value="999"/>
<option name="requiresUnits" value="MilitaryBase"/>

kinda sloppy but should work. I think you need "Unlimited Constructions" on as well.

@Kao

Since the developer forum has a history much bigger than its present, instead of waiting for days for answers of dubious value that may or may not arrive, you can just imput what you want, like "unitProduction" or "canProduceXUnits", then click the search button, and you will easily find a lot of answers in a few minutes, as pretty much everything has been discussed, over and over again. For example:

http://tripleadev.1671093.n2.nabble.com/Allow-unlimited-number-of-placements-at-factory-tp7590224p7590253.html
http://tripleadev.1671093.n2.nabble.com/270BC-updates-can-someone-make-a-relief-image-td7582022i80.html#a7585132

If that is not your answer, of course, keep searchin / asking.

Aaaaaand it worked!

As per Cernel second link, I had to set the property Damage From Bombing Done To Units Instead Of Territories to true and them canProduceXUnits suddenly started working

Thank you Prastle, Beelee and Cernel! :).

@Kao
Right on Kao ! Love it when a plan comes together Cernel is pretty sharp with the xml program
