When is unitlimit coming ?

Post by TradeMark »

In replay file there is limit variable:

Code: Select all

[RESTRICT] => Array
(
    [unit0] => armaca
    [limit0] => 0
)
But as far as i know, its not supported by Spring yet? Is it going to be supported in next release?

Good thing is that the next release will be more independend from the lobby protocol, so it can be used.

I am not sure what you are asking, but gundam has has units that are limited in quantity for what must be around 2 years now.

Take a look at the rx-78 in gundamrts. I could have sworn other projects used it now though.

If you are talking about outside of mods, sorry if I misunderstood.

I really dont like the idea of an Limit tore specific units , in think that it should be balanced that if you do have 2 units of one type (most likely a powefull one) then its the enemys fault of letting you have 2 of them. It would suck if you could only have 1 krogoth because of some limit . Having an virtually unlimited unitlimit is one of the things that bought me to spring.

It's probably not going to be used like that, more like for new mods (non ta) which want to have a hero unit or something like that, so it can be limited to just 1 unit.

>_>

This is about letting hosts set a limit for units instead of either allowing infinite numbers or banning them completely.

Yeah, i dont want to ban units completely in my maps, but instead of banning, i would allow only few of them, or then gameplay becomes spamming only that unit.

Huh, im too lazy to make new mod just because my map has more metal than where the mod was designed at the first place.

And still i want to control the limits no matter how low/high metal the maps has, i wanted this since OTA. I would have allowed only few berthas possible, etc.

Go cry in my game room when i host this restricted unit limits game... i will kick ya asses & ban lol.

This kinna gives me the impression you're talking about maps:
