On those buttons in the upper right corner of ABCreator....

[Bluefool]

Yeah OK, best programming problem description ever...:P.

In my read throughs of the docs I've failed to grasp several aspects of AB, and its pretty clear at the moment that may be causing me some extra heart ache. In trying to fix this, I need some general idea of what the overrides, exclusions, prelink, postlink, member, childlin, etc buttons are for. The existing data files I've been ripping off....er...inspired by don't seem to use them, so I'm light in the shorts on examples of what they do, and I'm having zero luck finding it in the docs.

Could someone please point me to the sections on what those buttons do?

I'm also trying to figure out how live tagexpr work, but can't find a refrence to them either.

Basically, I'm digging into this in the hopes that I can cut some extra stuff out; I have units that appear in several races, and I can't figure out how to get them to show up in all the lists short of putting duplicates (and duplicates of all the options they may have) in all the races they appear in, and when I do that I need to modify the name slightly so I don't get compile errors.

If you've got units that do the same, I sure would like to see an example of it in your data file....for inspiration, of course .
