I am creating data files and wish to limit the number of a spcific item per
unit. This limit is based on one of the stats of the unit. However, as the
stat changes from unit to unit the limit is not consistant but units with
the same stat have the same limit. Example stat=2, item=6; stat=3, item=4;
or stat=4 item=2. How could I do this?

I believe that you can easily use the "clmt" unit external attribute for
this purpose. The only gotcha is that the item will have to exist in its
own item category.

As an alternative, you can have a hidden stat ("foo") and have each
instance of the item add +1 to the value of "foo" (e.g. "base:foo+1"). Then
you could define an "lcmp" attribute on the involved units to compare the
value of "foo" to the corresponding limit to be imposed. If this rule
applied to all units, you could use "scmp" as a global race attribute in a
single shot.

Hope this helps,
Rob

I believe that the "clmt" will work as the item in question is the only item
curently in that item catagory. However, the examples I gave aren't quite
correct. They should have said stat=X:item<=Y. I still believe it will work.

The "clmt" external attribute does work. However, I also wish to have only 1
entry on the roster for each item (item QtyX not item, item,item,ect.). If I
use the "irng" item attribute it overrides the "clmt" unit external
attribute and I'm back to square one. Have I missed something? The item in
question is the only item in its catagory at this time.

If you wish to adjust the quantity of the item via "+" and "-", you will
need to use the alternate method I proposed below.

Thanks, Rob
