Blocking units

[Krom]

As we all know KaM allows to block houses in script, but shy not block units as well?It looks silly that we can train Metallurgist in TSK1, does it?

Idea is the following:
- add BLOCK_UNIT static script and dynamic script to query and set this flag.
- fade or remove blocked units from training queues and stats.

Examples:
- block all unused units in early campaigns missions
- with dynamic script allow to train only certain kinds of army at certain times

What do you say, are there any drawbacks in this plan?

Never thought of this, but yes I agree, there is no use in being able to train a metallurgist if you can't build a metallurgist's or iron smelter.

That sounds like a really good idea, adding more possibilities for script and removing useless units in some missions, I don't see any drawback

That is a really nice idea. So you could even press players in some missions to make Axesfighters,but no Bowmen. That means the player has to go for Xbows (With a historical background like your city´s ingeneers haven´t invent the bow yet XD )

or prevent meat rushes

This is a good idea. I think that fading units would look better than removing them.

Blocking army units is cool as well, would make some missions harder. I don't see any drawbacks either .

great idea!

[dicsoupcan]

This is exactly what i was waiting for and yes maybe it is also good to block army units.

[MpranavM]

Nice idea would be cool to implement

[Krom]

It's great to see everyone likes it. It was Andreus idea and he already wrote most of the code for it

On the contrary of what everybody else thinks, I think it's a bad idea to block military units. I always thought it was pretty fun to train knights + xbows on TSK1 with cheats when I felt like it.

[dicsoupcan]

Well you can still unblock them in the map editor yourself

[woloszek]

wow! great idea. No one had ever invented that? Well done Andrew

[Kamykos]

I like that, but if we can block units then we should be able to block weapons too(for example we can block bowmans, but bows aswell). It will look stupid when you can make bows but you cant make a bowman .
