More non linear costs

Hiya,

how would I model the following cost equation?

Unit cost = (# of models * 7) - 35
with a minimum cost of 0.

That means the first 5 models are free and subsequent ones are 7
points each?

Cheers, Chris.

Set the unit cost to Zero. Create an option with the following
attributes:
---
hide
cost:expr=#-5*7
usiz:min=6
---
Assing the option to the unit as incl.

This will subtract 5 from the current unit size (so 5 are free) and
multiply the remaining by 7. This option will only apply if there are
more than 5 models.

Set the unit cost to be 0. Then assign it an option using 'auto', with the
following attributes:

hide
usiz:min=6
cost:expr=#*7-35
cost:single

Thus, the option will be hidden, will only become active when there are at
least 6 models in the unit, will have a cost of the unit size, multiplied
by 7, minus 35, and that cost will only be applied once to the units total
cost (rather than once per model, which is not what you want).

Hope this helps,

To do it :
Create a special stat value bounded to be >0 in the datadef file, with
your formula (calc local attribute), then create an option which cost
is equal to the stat.
