OK,
So how does a unit get filtered for selection via the ally mechanism? It appears that only units native to the race are showing up. Note that once added to the roster units receive a non-global tag, ally.<race>, so that cannot be used for selection. Tagging the unit with a roster.<race> tag does not work, although it does work for tagging them with the new race for selection when it is the parent race.

The ally mechanism is in the def file in the races section, add the race name/tag to the Allies list on that page (I think off top of head)

Thanks,
The issue is how to dynamically assign a tag to a unit to get it in the filter. So for instance: Unit A is native to Race 1. I can use a .ext file to make Unit A a member of roster.Race 2 and when you create a Race 2 roster, it shows up for selection. If you create a Race 3 roster which is defined to have Race 2 as an ally in the def file, it does not show up in the list for allied Race 2. So, is ally selection based on roster.Race 2 or race.Race 2 or some other thing? Homer The only "hobby" GW is interested in is lining their pockets with your money. |
