Title: mapScripts + addLine + maxUses ?
Post by: robin on March 09, 2019, 02:03:50 pm

maxUses doesn't seem to work for the addLine (direction: both) command.
Is my only option to have (in the terrain definition) several duplicates of the default road block, so the exceptional road block is used rarely by mere chance?
Thanks

You can also use the remove command to replace one of the default road blocks with the exceptional one, but that requires a lot of map scripting

I see. I honestly want to keep my scripts simple, so I don't think I'll use that solution.
Damn, the current terrain I'm doing is really difficult to put together.

you could try to ask to Meridian, probably it is an issue  that could be fixed

I would ask Warboy first

Oh I don't need coding, it's a non-issue.  :P

You're trying to make the square round or vice-versa. :D

The more complex the terrain is, the more scripting it will require.
