1°/ I did learn that concerning strength scripts, the negative reductions or positive adjustements are set in relative values (%)
2°/ It seems that it's not the same for supply scripts : these scripts cause reductions to resources, but these reduction are not exprimed in relative values, they are exprimed in absolute values
Example :

I suppose that 1,3 values can not be 1% and 3%
Am I right ?
In addition, I have please another question here : (oil, oil, oil... I am swimming in the oil
)https://forums.matrixgames.com/viewtopi ... 6#p5294206
I am also studying the brillant system created By Crispy in Fall Weiss mod to represent the lack of oil for Axis, that is reproduced here : (combination of decision scripts and supply scripts)

I noticed that Crispy had to use 2 combinated systems of decisions, to be able to use ALIGNEMENT POSITION (concerning Caucasian oil in allied hands). He dis use DE 382 for initial decision (to invest or not in synthetic oil), and he dis use DE 381 and DE 871 to envisage DECISION = YES and DECISION = NO
And then, he did use 381 (YES to 382) and 871 (NO to 382) in 2 supply scripts
He had to do that because supply scripts do not contain "ALIGNEMENT POSITION" line, and these lines were needed to modelize the fact that caucasian oil was in allied hands and not in Axis hands : so, Crispy had to solve this lack with the tip of "double decision"
Reading this system, I asked me a question : Why did Hubert disperse all "CONDITIONS/EFFECTS line #" in lot of different type scripts ? It would have been more interesting and easy for users to create one unic type of script, that would have contained all "lines #" that are in the script system : user would have just let empty the "lines #" he wanted not to use (scripts would have been more polyvalents, or he could have insert after "=" a specific symbol that would have neutralized the line = more flexibility for users)
In the actual situation , user has to disperse his scripts in lot of files : DECISIONS, SUPPLY, STRENGTH, etc
But perhaps is it due to the fact it's more easy for the program to read scripts in lot of different script files, than in one unique script file ?
