Arbitrary point cost

[anwil]

Hello everyone!

I started working with Deus Vult datafiles, and I am wondering what is the best approach to model arbitrary point costs.

Units consist of stands and the cost value can not be computed, eg:

unit size cost
2 150
4 220
6 330

Ideas? I am totally new to army builder datafile creation and just managed to pull of some basic stuff using example datafiles. Not the most intuitive ux I must say

You can use script in the postscript section of the unit to reflect the unit count, check this then set a @unit cost, i.e.

var standsCnt as number
standsCnt = count[model]

if (standsCnt = 2) then

@unit = 150
endif
if (standsCnt = 3) then

@unit = 220
endif

AB creator is hard when starting off but that is more due to the sheer variety of what you can do with AB, this does make it harder to learn but in the longer term when you get more and more used to it and work through the AB kit pdf then you will get to use more of the power AB has

The other thing is look through the hints and tips section in AB kit and also dig through the range of data files that are out there for ideas on how to manage things

Awesome! Thanks, I will try that.
