Hi , im making a map when you have to pick a unit (No-hero) from a tavern; and you can only pick it 3 times for all players.
Is there some way to do this?
I tested with just picking 1 unit, but when i clicked the tavern, i still could buy another one.

Untitled Trigger 001
Events
Unit - A unit Sells a unit
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Sold unit)) Equal to Footman
Actions
Player - Limit training of Footman to 0 for (Owner of (Buying unit))
This action did not work


Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Player - Make (Footman) Unavailable for training/construction by (Picked player)
neither this.
Any Help will be appreciated.

If players are buying the unit from a tavern, how about just setting a stock maximum to 3 (or 1 to test) for the unit. That way when 3 are sold the tavern will be out of stock to sell (pick) more.
You should probably keep stock delay set to 0 and put stock replenishment to at least 3600. Or better yet use shift+click and set the replenishment interval to 9999, that way it will not allow another unit to be sold unless the game has lasted for close to 3 hours.

Caveat- if using this method the map cannot have more than one tavern that sells this unit type, otherwise it would become 3 per tavern.

The probable reason your methods did not work is that a tavern doesn't train a unit, it sells it. And for whatever reason this bypasses the training availability rules.
 
I did the "stock replenishment" and yea i think it is the best solution to my problem, but i have a question...

Then why this trigger work for heroes? i mean, when you pick a hero from a tavern and all the players can´t pick it anymore ... because the tavern sells the hero right? it doesn´t train the hero.

Thanks for the help by the way :)
 
I am not really sure of the reason. Warcraft isn't always very transparent about how things work.
But as long as you got it working than all is well.

The advantage of the stock replenishment approach is everyone knows right off the bat that there are 3 of the unit and you don't need triggers to tell players about the running count of how many remain.

    I just disabled that test site. Let's see if that helps the load.

    SD Ryoko about it and he said the couple of people left on there really like it, that was a few years ago, maybe I should check back

    I am doing my first Vibe Coding project. In installed the environment and tools according to instructions but it is all chat doing this for me at my direction. It is fun really and holy shit I might finish in 2 hours what it would have taken a day to in my Access and this would be an electron app complete new

    Good stuff.

    Just make sure it is secure. :)

    It will only be on internal network
  • jonas jonas:
    Man the AI is good about gaslighting about security though. I've had several times where I pointed out security problems and it tried to convince me that with a tiny tweak it suddenly becomes secure
  • jonas jonas:
    Like using a distrobox as a "secure" container, and when I point out that's not secure at all, it claimed that specifying home will make it secure
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah I finished the app today and it is bad ass. Like ChatGPT codes way better and faster than me that is for sure. The app is unsecure AF though and I would never put it anywhere it was obvious. I did not even show it today, the boss never made it in, but I showed the office and they liked it and frankly, I do software for a living and I am qualified to judge this kind of stuff and... Holy Shit this is a game changer. It took me around 4 hours to finish the app from design to end and that is much faster than I could have done it in the outdated MS Access the thing it replaced was in. Good Stuff! Had tons of fun doing it too! Work has not been fun in a while - today was fun!

    And really, I did not do it, chat wrote all the code I just pasted it in, tested it, acted like Chats eyes on it and just learned. I learned VS Code, how to use the Terminal and a bunch of Powershell and Command stuff, I used Git for the first time and learned how to save, search, start my server, stop it, run the tests, do some debugging - all the freaking fun stuff - chat wrote all the code

    I think the key was the 40 minutes of that 4 hours that went into the design of it. The thing was fully specced out before we started and the only reason it took so long was I had never done any of it and had to get used to the navigation and workflow.

    React, JS and AG Grid are the tools that I know i used along with git. I learned alot but it will be a minute before I fully understand everything I am doing in these environments because I am really just following instructions.

    I think people who aren't logged in can't even see this chat, so your message letting them know they won't be able to register is also hidden xP
  • jonas jonas:
    but yeah on LLM they're pretty capable now, I used opencode to build a custom agent for some tasks I face, and the custom agent ended up doing better than either opencode or specialized tools that have been developed for 20 years by humans
  • jonas jonas:
    at the same time it is so stupid and making insanely dumb mistakes, I had to stop it several times from doing really dumb things that would work for just a few cases but would be totally broken for more serious workloads, or sometimes were always broken (like just drop some responses from the LLM, then continue with some fake message) but would not trigger immediate problems
  • jonas jonas:
    I had to babysit it a lot, I'm not sure if in the near future better models will come around at a similar price point. If the price increases by more than 10x, it will be cheaper for me to do it myself again
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I use it a little different due to my programming background. I dont let it just do it. I am behind it watching what it does and learning. However, Chat has not been making many mistakes. Mostly it is me pasting wrong or something.
