I am trying to figure out a couple of things I hope
y'all could help me with one or all of them... 1)Is it possible to slave one item to another? I have a couple of items which require another item (upgrade) to purchase...Is there a way to do this or should I make the parent item an option? 2)I have an item which is supposed to be incrimental (irng:1-5 and icnt:5) but when I select it in AB I can never get the +/- buttons to appear much less work... 3)How do I prohibit a unit from being selectable when used as an ally? I have an army which is unuversally able to be an ally but one unit from that army is only selectable by one other army... Thanks for any answers to any of these questions... ===== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I have not used this command so I may be talking rubbish but here goes anyway. I presume that you are setting a parameter which can take a range from 1 to 5 in increments of 5. If the value is minimum of 1 and you increment by 5 that makes 6 so the parameter cannot be increased. Try an increment of 4. Just my best guess.

Actually the icnt command is used to state a maximum number of this item which can be taken by the unit (at least according to the help file)...It's useful for special items which can be used by multiple units but have a maximum count per unit...Virtually every item in the particular army I'm writing has this command as each model/unit can't repeat weapons... ===== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

OK. My mistake. I misunderstood the meaning. Given that it is Item Count then your approach should work.

Give that unit the external attribute "lglx:race=xx|race=yy", where xx and yy are the two races it is legal for.

Can you use an item as a "type"? I was under the impression that you could only use "itst" command for race, unit or mode (and I still have yet to figure out what mode is however)...The problem is that the game requires an item to be purchased (robotic arm) in order to purchase specific weapons (specific hand to hand weapons)... > > You need to actually add the item before the +- > buttons appear; they don't > appear when you just select the item in the list. I tried...it adds the item at quantity 1 (with full benefits) but the +/- buttons still don't appear...I've also tried rewriting so that you can select it multiple times, which worked but I would really rather have it all as one option rather then multiple selections...the full commands for the item as stands are; "Armor" itst:type=Gnome base:Armor+1 icnt:5 asop irng:1-5 Incidentally the asop command is also not working as it still adds an item line rather then putting this in the unit's description... > > Give that unit the external attribute > "lglx:race=xx|race=yy", where xx and > yy are the two races it is legal for. > Thanks...I've made the change...this means that this unit is not selectable to other races who can select the race as ally but the units with nothing in the external can, correct?

Take the item and give it a 'type:ItemOne' attribute. When the item is selected, the unit will be assigned the type 'ItemOne'. Then give the second item the attribute 'itst:type=ItemOne', so it will not appear until the unit has the 'ItemOne' type. Itst works on race, category, type or unit id. > > > > You need to actually add the item before the +- > > buttons appear; they don't > > appear when you just select the item in the list. > >I tried...it adds the item at quantity 1 (with full >benefits) but the +/- buttons still don't >appear...I've also tried rewriting so that you can >select it multiple times, which worked but I would >really rather have it all as one option rather then >multiple selections...the full commands for the item >as stands are; > >"Armor" >itst:type=Gnome >base:Armor+1 >icnt:5 >asop >irng:1-5 > >Incidentally the asop command is also not working as >it still adds an item line rather then putting this in >the unit's description... Are you sure you're looking for the right +- buttons? The ones that irng activates are on the right-hand edge of the Wargear screen, under the up/down buttons. As specified in the notes for asop, the item only appears as an option in 'roster output'. That means it will appear as a normal item until you actually print the roster, where it will appear as an option. > > Give that unit the external attribute > > "lglx:race=xx|race=yy", where xx and > > yy are the two races it is legal for. > > >Thanks...I've made the change...this means that this >unit is not selectable to other races who can select >the race as ally but the units with nothing in the >external can, correct? Right. If a unit has no lglx attributes, it's accessible to everyone who could take it as an ally. With the lglx, anyone who doesn't specifically meet the restriction is excluded. -- Colen McAlister (colen@wolflair.com) Lone Wolf Development www.wolflair.com ------------------------ Yahoo!

Thanks...the way Army builder described the "type" function I was lead to believe that it changed or added a type to the parent unit rather then categorizing the item itself by a type...It works... > > > Are you sure you're looking for the right +- > buttons?

Thanks for your help so far...as soon as I get this first data file through it should be clear sailing... ===== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

The type is being added to a unit. The 'type' attribute adds a type to a unit; the 'itst' attribute checks the types on the unit.

The problem lies in the "Armor" Item selectable only for Gnomes...I've only included the Gnome datafile as the other couple are far from complete (no items/options yet) and don't matter much anyway... ===== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
