Hi,

Is there any way to adjust an army stat set by the accu operator based on roster
size?

Cheers,

Owen

You're wording is a little confusing. Let me see if I have what you are asking correct....
You want to change a one of a model's stats based on the value of an accumulator?

Hi,

Sorry, it made perfect sense when I wrote it, but reading it now it does seem a
touch confused :)

"accu" sets/calculates a stat that is displayed along with "number of models"
etc, and printed at the end of a roster. Is there any way to change the
calculated stat depending on roster size?


Thanks again.

Maybe describe what you are trying to do, in detail. The *stat* you are referring to is an accumulator. It will be less confusing if you call it that.

I'm thinking you want different accumulator settings based on roster size, but I'm not sure. A detailed explanation may help.

Hi,

What I want is to have an accumulator that is higher in larger rosters, for
example an accumulator that increases by 1 for every 1000 points in roster
size.

I can't think of a way of doing this, off the top of my head. Maybe Colen may have an idea.

So you want to increase an accumulated stat based on the number of points
in the roster size...

There's no good way that I can think of to actually adjust a stat based on
the cost of things (there's a way, but it's a horrible way, and only useful
as a last resort). Can you explain what you're trying to do, so we can
maybe help you figure out an alternate way of doing it?

Thanks,

The nearest parallel in a well-known datafile is power dice/dispel dice in
Warhammer. I have an accumulator set up for rerolls; each army starts with a
base 4, and I'd like to increase them based both on certain units being added
to the roster, and also increase the base for each 500 points of roster size.

So, if the roster is 0-499 points, there are 4 rerolls available. If 500-999, 5
rerolls are available, etc.

The best way I can think of relies on some user intervention. Have one unit
in the army be able to take an option that increases its "# rerolls" stat
by an amount relevant to one points cost. For example, you'd have one
option for 0-499 points, one for 500-999 points, another for 1000-1499
points, etc. Then simply let the user choose between them (either include
them all or use a table-based option). Have them assign types (reroll1,
reroll2, reroll3 etc) that the unit then checks using umax, as umax is the
only thing I can think of that lets you test based on the roster size.

So to summarise, you'd have some options:

option reroll1: stat:rerolls+1, type:reroll1
option reroll2: stat:rerolls+2, type:reroll2
option reroll3: etc etc

Then on the unit you'd have some external attributes:

umax:0u@500-when=reroll1
umax:1u@500-min-when=reroll2
umax:0u@1000-when=reroll2
umax:1u@1000-min-when=reroll3
umax:0u@1500-when=reroll3
etc etc.

You also need to make sure only one "# rerolls" options is taken for the
whole army. I think this should work adequately. Let me know if there are
issues with it and I'll see what else I can come up with.

Hope this helps,
