maximum amount of vehicle type present

[Barba-negra 117]

hello guys, greetings, I am here exposing a small problem which I have not been able to solve, I have a script that I am trying to put together that indicates that if there is already an object of that class present on the map, do an action:

 

limit = 1;
Ship = "B_Boat_F";  

     

if ((count Ship) > limit) then {

 

hint "can't start";
 
} else { 

 

hint "starting process";

 

};

 

but it gives me error, I don't understand very well how to configure the count command, please help.

Not sure what "B_Boat_F" is, but:

limit = 1; 
Ship = "B_Boat_Transport_01_F";   
 
if (({typeOf _x == ship} count vehicles) > limit) then { 
    hint "can't start"; 
} else {  
    hint "starting process"; 
};

If you want to find all BLUFOR boats:

limit = 1; 
Ship = "Boat_F";   

if ((ship countType vehicles) > limit) then { 
    hint "can't start"; 
} else {  
    hint "starting process"; 
};

If someone wants to limit spawned friendly vehicles on server, this is how I managed to do it (aka the prehistoric, cave method 😂)

//FRIENDLY VEHICLE LIMIT IN MP 
//define function properly in description.ext
class CfgFunctions
{
	class KIB
	{
		class buymenu
		{
			file = "path\to\category";
			class maxVeh
			{
			file = "function\maxveh.sqf";
			};
		};
	};
};
//in maxveh.sqf type the classnames of the vehicles the players can buy
