Here s a new one - it is simple i just canyt figure it out

I want to make a unit that is type honor limited to 1 per army.

I have assigned type:honor to the corrct units.

Then i tried umax:1u (but I dont know what the "#" is in #istype)

since you've already got the unit(s) type-marked, I'd use a race
attribute for validation, rather than something on the unit. My
recommendation would be:
ulmt:type=honor-max@unit=1
optionally, add: -msg=<message id>

#istype is a shorthand for a typecheck. the actual syntax is
explained in the construction kit manual:
"–istype=type
This constraint determines if the specified type is defined for any
unit in the entire roster. If no unit
has the type defined, then the attribute is not applied. The type may
include wildcards. It is also
possible to specify the syntax as "–istype=!type" to determine if the
type is not defined anywhere in
the roster."

so the usage you're looking for is:
umax:1u-istype=honor

but as I said, I think it's probably best implemented as a race
validation...

Using "umax" with the "istype" qualifier tells AB that you want to impose a
limit of one instance of the unit if ANY unit in the ENTIRE roster has the
specified type. From your description, this is not want you are after. If
you want to limit the roster to one instance of a unit that has type
"honor", then the best solution is to use "tlmt". You just have to be sure
not to re-use the type "honor" on other units, so you might consider
calling it type "xxxxhonor", where the "xxxx" indicates the particular unit
in some way.

Thanks, Rob
