Is it possible to add a ruleset membership through an ext file? I've looked at the ext documentation and as far a I can see you can extend a rule to be part of a ruleset but not add a unit into a ruleset.

Also. is there a way to have more than one rule start selected in the options within the same context?

How in the world would you add units to rulesets? Please explain. -Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rob Bowes (rob@wolflair.com) (408) 927-9880 Lone Wolf Development www.wolflair.com |

Please use the terms that are established within AB so that I know what you are talking about. Options and rules are completely unrelated things, so one of those terms is being misused. Please clarify. -Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rob Bowes (rob@wolflair.com) (408) 927-9880 Lone Wolf Development www.wolflair.com |

OK, within the 40K files some files use the ext files to extend the IG into them as available units, i.e. WH. However some of the IG units have specific 'doctrines' applied to them which mean that the unit is only available if that doctrine is selected for the IG. However the WH don't use the doctrines and therefore when the ext file extends the unit into the WH list the unit does not show.
To try and avoid crossing over between files and adding membeship tags in the IG file for the WH so the unit is visible I was wondering if there was a way that the ruleset for the doctrine could be applied via the ext file, or the membership statement could be extended in some way in it? Does that make any more sense? |

Does that >make any more sense? One thing we've already slated for the upcoming release of AB is something to address exactly this issue. Specifically, you'll be able to extend the Member tagexpr of entities via extension files. This ought to give you exactly what you need. And this functionality is due out reasonably soon for Beta testing. -Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rob Bowes (rob@wolflair.com) (408) 927-9880 Lone Wolf Development www.wolflair.com |

Is that right? -Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rob Bowes (rob@wolflair.com) (408) 927-9880 Lone Wolf Development www.wolflair.com |

I just verified that there is nothing that precludes this from being done. All you need to do is designate all of the rulesets as "default" and AB ought to work fine.
