I was all set to send you a nasty reply, then I realised that you were
right

It'll be in the next update of the files, hopefully tonight.

-istype is an old thing that doesn't support type negation (i.e. the !).
Either that or it was meant to, but it doesn't work.

Subject: Re: question about the -istype option

Well then, how can I implement a validation rule that an option
available to many of the units in the game is valid only if the army
commander has selected a certain option?

According to the Construction Kit doco, -istype SHOULD
support -istype=!Type
Rob?

Yeah, it should, but it doesn't. There's the same problem with a lot of
the -race and -when qualifiers.

There are 2 different descriptions given for Hallucinogen Grenades.
Which is correct or do both apply?

Think I forgot to hit SEND on my 1st message;

The Great Harlequin and Shadow Seer do not have power blades available in the
wargear section.

Make the option the commander must select assign a type "Gibbon"
(type:Gibbon), and the option the troops have to select assign a type
"Chimp" (type:Chimp). Then use:

reqd:type=Gibbon@0u:1u-when=Chimp

That should do it.

Sorry to point out another problem, but:

Space Marine Scout Sergeants should be able to take scout weapons (I
thought I remember you fixing this).

Also, a new Armagedon Elite type is available for Orks - the
tellyporta boyz (Varga's Drop Legion).

http://www.armageddon3.com/English/C...porta_boyz.htm
l

Ever wanted 20 Orks to deep strike onto your opponents? And
immediately blaze away at the first unit in the direction of a
scatter
die?
