Need Help: Changing "OccupantGroups" programmatically

[BobbyHPB 120]

Hi Simtropolean guys...

Just to the point of my question...

Is there any way to change OccupantGroups property under exemplar programmatically? I have this idea is to make another braketrough on my lot that you can be exiting to use it...

All suggestion are appreciated. Thanks a lot of lots...

Using Reader 0.9.3 and editing that property is the standard way to change OccupantGroups. Are you asking for a way to do a bunch of lots at once? Like in a batch mode method?

No Cori, what I mean is during game time, for offline I have done but I want the lot to change itself during gametime...but thanks anyway for the advice...

Ah. Afaik, there is no way to change a lot's OccupantGroup while the game is running.

Hihihi...I have tried using LuA by making the reward.HIDDEN and reward.AVAILABLE...but it was just making the lot/building disappear from the menu.

So to make it more clear, I want to make my grow able lot cannot make another grow with the same building when I zone it same size. For plopping, I have successful make the plop unavailable after the building is growing, it became hidden so you cannot make plopping with that building since you already have one sort of building in the city, not only exclusion group but it will remain HIDDEN until you bulldoze it.

That's it Cori...any idea? Thanks again...

For the growables, the idea is that you could grow one or more of them and then toggle their OccupantGroup while in the game so no more of it grows?

I believe the best you could do is put them in their own OG such as Euro and have everything else not be in Euro. Then with the Building Style Control you'd select Euro when you want those specific ones to grow and not Euro when you don't.

Yes correct...but this prevent the first grow...I mean after the first grow then no more same building grow with the same size of tiles grow after zoning.
