Is there a way to have a unit reassign it's Composition when it is selected as an ally? I've played around with "xcmp:" but it reassigns the Comp for the primary race as well. For example:
Race 1 has Unit A as Troop choice. Race 2 can take Unit A but, it becomes a Support choice for Race 2.

I haven't done this myself, but I think using lglx:race=(the race it's
being bought for) on the option with xcmp should only allow that option to only function when it's being deployed as part of the other race.

You never played around with it long enough then :P
say your race is aa and the ally race is ba in the unit external attributes use xcmp:Support-race=!aa then in ba ally the race.

I could not figure out how to do the race part. However, using the code you gave as an external attribute, ABC will not let you save it. I think that "xcmp:" is a local attribute only. I put your code in as a local attribute and that just re-assigned the Comp for the race it belongs to. It does not even show up in the allied race. Any ideas? I do appreciate the help!

Just got it to work. I had to remove the "!" be for the race abbreviation and add the external attribute "race:" Again, thanks for the help.

May apologoes, it is a local attribute.
The ! should have worked, as you would save use it xcmp:Supp-race=!(two letters of normal race) Ie: the race designation there would be the race that it is defined in. As a matter of fact, if you have ever looked at the Warhammer 40k files, that is exactly how the Harlequins are done. They also define a type based on the same rule (!ha) and use that type to limit composition. Anyhow, glad I could be of a little assistance.

What exactly does the "!" do?

If usually the exclamation mark is used to denote
not in most programming languages. Army builder has a fairly distinct base in C, does it not? as in 'a != b' would be the value of a not equal the value of b. i still haven't dinked around with AB that much on that level yet though, so i could be wrong. -nate --- Keith <mobo@adelphia.net> wrote: > What exactly does the "!" do? > > > Thanks, > > Keith > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: wraithwlf > To: armybuilder@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 9:52 AM > Subject: [AB] Re: Changing a units Comp > > > May apologoes, it is a local attribute. > > The ! should have worked, as you would save > use it > xcmp:Supp-race=!(two letters of normal race) > Ie: the race designation > there would be the race that it is defined > in. > > As a matter of fact, if you have ever looked > at the Warhammer 40k > files, that is exactly how the Harlequins are > done.

Normally, I think it's !race=xx, rather than race=!xx (that's mixed me
up a few times) Mathias Gehl mgehl@cox.net -----Original Message----- From: wraithwlf [mailto:graham.tracey@lscfn.ca] Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 8:52 AM To: ab@support.wolflair.com Subject: [AB] Re: Changing a units Comp May apologoes, it is a local attribute.

You got it 100% right, except the order is a bit different in ab
