Yes, only having one Tanya or Boris is realistic unlike Tanya clones in RA1. But its unrealistic when Tanya dies and you make a clone of her and build her again. To have Tanya, Boris, YP, or any other unit only buildable once per game, add 'BuildLimit=-1' to the unit. It won't build infinite units. Once you build the unit, the icon dissapears for the rest of the game!

I was sure that this only worked in Tiberian Sun. I tried this in YR once and (unless I made a mistake) it built normally (no limit at all).

I wouldn't sacrifice gameplay/fun factor for the sake of realism. You'd have to make the hero units a LOT more useful to balance this out.

Well, It's like War craft isn't it... Your Hero dies, you revive it again.

-.-... I think I know because I tested it. And if you read carefuly we know that "BuilLimit=1" works in TS, RA2 and YR but "BuildLimit-1" making it buildable once only works in TS...

As far as I can remember, it (BuildLimit=-1) worked in RA2 up to 1.006 when I tried it long ago. And after I read theidiot's post, I honestly ROFLed . That's just _too_ rich.

BuildLimit=-1 works in YR 1.002 not BuildLimit-1

Its in my modification, its make the cameo and therefore build option disappear.

Oops, my bad... I typed BuildLimit=1 and the other one was meant to be BuildLimit-1 not BuildLimit=-1, maybe I was concentrated on the BuildLimit=1.

Buildlimit=-1 is useful for one off powerful units which perhaps need to be deployed/undeployed i.e. mobile war or a core defender ....

Could also be useful for a strong superweapon or structure balancing.

This BuildLimit=-1 is also applicable to structures, defences.

Cool, this could be used for missions. For example a base has a limited amount of tanks, etc..

Well, of course this will waste the hero unit's SHPs and cameos and all, but if you want realism you could just use the generic "Commando" or Navy SEAL for that matter...

This IS kinda old, but with this, you might be able to remove the ability to rush units in RA2 and YR onto an enemy base by limiting them to a specific amout of each unit, this might add alot more strategic value to the game... Very Happy

I wouldn't apply it to generic tanks which can never build again when exceed limit cos thats just silly

but yes buildlimits do help balance the game a lot and stops people from camping in those stupid games where no ore on map and cba to attack cos u know base is vunerable and will lose too many units in assault.

I'm adding some important info here:

BuildLimit=-1 works fine in YR for anything, but there's an exception that cancels it.

If you use DontScore=yes, the build limit will no longer work.

The practical result is a liner build. You will be able to build multiple units of that type, but you will be able to do it by queueing them in the build tab one by one only (when 1st is finished you can click again and build another).

So this combo becomes a Queue limit, practically.

So if you have like a very powerful unit that suicides (let's say a super demo truck) don't use DontScore on it.
