Why is it that for the AB v3.1 Example Army the child units (e.g., sergeant) do not appear on the Options screen in ABCreator? I have been trying to use the Example Army to figure out how to develop my own .def and .dat files. In this specific instance I could not figure out how the Sergeant unit was made a child to the parent Assualt Squad unit.
I have finally figured out how to make one unit a child of another, although I still cannot get the point cost of the child to show up separate from the parent. Thanks in advance for the help. -DH |

There is a separate file entitled "options.dat". You'll find the option you seek in there, with the unique id "ch_sarge".
To get the child to have an independent point cost, you have to make sure that the option attaching it has a cost of zero and that the link has no cost specified. Also, make sure the option is attached with a link nature of "cost" or "auto". I'm not sure I fully understand the situation with the second problem, so my answer my not address your actual problem. If not, please clarify the problem if I've misunderstood. -Rob At 07:15 AM 3/17/2006, you wrote: Quote:

Yeah, I found them. I also, after pounding my head on the desk a bit, fixed my problem with the child point costs.
Thanks for the reply. |

Sorry it took so long to answer the questions. We were at a tradeshow all last week, and we're now in catch-up mode.

No worries. My Dark Age masters were also at GAMA. Too bad that I picked this year to move from Vegas to ABQ.
