Author Question - Army Builder for Firestorm Armada - Carrier Wings

[Garfunkel]

Hello,

If I understand your need, the ship can have 0 or its Fleet Wing rating number of the same type of wings.


Did you try an option with Incr and size min/max settings ?

For this :
1. Create a group wingsNb with tags:1, 2, 3, 4, ...

2. Create an option with EVAL Script:
var val as number
var sel as string
sel = "wingsNb." & selection
val = unit.assignstr[sel]

SIZE Script:
@minimum = tagvalue[wingsNb.?]
@maximum = tagvalue[wingsNb.?]

with a CANDIDATE script filled with the wings type and * in child entity.


3. Link the option to every ship with both Incr and Max set to the Fleet Wing rating.

Link template for a Fleet Wing rating of 4:

The user can choose only one type of wings, and it is automaticaly set to the Fleet Wing rating number.

NOTE : If you can have 0, 1, 2, ..., Fleet Wing rating wings, just remove the Incr from the previous template.

Hope This helps,
