Your assistance please - Components limit
 

I've edited the components file with various items. It works and runs... but I placed 'Restrictions := Four Per Vehicle'. I works on players but I found that the computer defies this rule and places about 6 or so on a vehicle. So is there a reason why or a way to enforce the restriction ?

The long story here is a clip of the component code of one such item:
(the family # had to be changed due to that the limitation affected hence a standard one would be limited to 4 or the weapon series in general).

Name := HYBRID Anti - Proton Beam I

The AI is not affected by the restrictions that you put in componentes, if you want to limit a component in the AI designs you need to edit the AI design file so it don´t uses more than your specified number of components (yes, you have to edit all the Ai individually for this)...

Thanks on the info... umm but just in case can you tell me one of the specific files (the name of the file) for any one of the races so that I can have the an idea. In case I don't figure it out.
