hi i would like to put a limit to how many SBDs are on the maps in my realism mod. not the ai limit but the limit like with the special units it is 4. how would this be done?

It's done by LUA. In your LUA look for the SetupTeams section. For example, this line references the droideka unit. The first number you see (in this case 1) is the minimum amount of droidekas that can be out on the map while the second number (4) is the maximum amount. Change them accordingly as you see fit.

thanks ill try it

Edit: that doesnt change the maximum count for it though, that changes the AI limits.
what i want ot change is for eg. with the jet trooper the maximum is 4 for both the AI and player, isnt there an odf setting that changes this?

you have to set in the odf: so you have a max of spawning

^ That only changes the amount of points you need to earn in order to unlock a certain unit, nothing else.

that doesnt change the maximum count for it though, that changes the AI limits.

Right.

According to what you wrote here, "maximum count" and "AI limit" are the same thing. Please be more specific.

I Beleive he wants to edit the Max unit count of jet troopers on the field of battle at any given time.

which means you would want to edit this
4 is the number you want to edit, edit it to what ever number you want then munge, it should change the max number of units on the field of play.

Yes, I've realized that which is why I used the droideka example in my first post.

Setting the lua to 1, 4 will enforce the limit on ai, but not players.
To enforce the limit on players also, the unit has to use PointsToUnlock as well.
