zfut and future abilities

Greets

For the life of me I cannot make zfut work properly the syntax
zfutption does option mean tweak, which is an item option, or an
actual option? I am trying to find a way for multiple selection of
the same item to only print one description, without using the irng,
which doesn't work very well for what I need.

I have an item that purchases a child unit. This unit can be
purchased more than once. (Say a Mad Dok can purchase multiple
orderlies). This is being done in the items section because it is a
differnt set of options from the options section. (Anyone who has
opened the Orks file in 40k knows what I mean).

My problem: in order to purchase one orderly for each time the item
is selected, you have to uadd each time since irng is so cheesy that
it can't interact with any of the other item attributes. This means
that for one child type, you must have multiple descriptions and
child units.

I have tried to get around this by using an option that is enabled by
the item setting a type, and this works fine to remove the mulitple
descriptions/units problem, but creates a potentially worse problem
because the item cost is no longer limited correctly.

Any ideas from the Gurus on here? Help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Graham T.


P.S. future options that would be nice:
- cost that can be modified by parent type count
- unit size that can be modified by unit/parent typecount
- the ability to control options via items
- an option that can clone (ie: from a global option, the ability to
clone the options and attributes of a template unit)
