Editor Supply Output Query

Post by edward77 »

Bru888,
I am developing an Operation Konrad scenario,the Axis attempt to break the Russian encirclement of Budapest in Jan 1945. To do this I need a mechanism for gradual turn by turn loss of supply output and one off increases in supply output for each successful air lift into the city. Such a mechanism is used in the vanilla Demyansk scenario. This is done by selecting two supply points within the encircled area, one for losses and one for gains. In Demyansk the supply losses are set at 1/turn with an infinite trigger and an increase of 10 after a successful landing. Note both these values are positive.
I set up an identical scheme in my scenario with one supply point at 35 with a 2 point loss/turn and the other at 10 with a 6 point gain. Again both values are positive. The first results for each should then be 33 and 16. The actual results are 2 and 6. In other words the trigger is treating the Supply output number as an absolute value rather than as a difference. Does this mean there has been a change in the editor since Demyansk was created?

Have you changed the operator?

The default option is = , which sets the output to the given number.

You're wanting "-", which will decrement by the given value and the "+" which will increment by the value

Shards, Ah right. Thank you for that. I had not noticed the sign.
