any way to mirror stats?

Is there any way to manipulate a command so that a child unit will
mirror the parent's stats rather than their options chosen?

My specfic problem is that "mirr" won't mirror a "tabl" option I have
given to the parent unit, which only modifies that stats of the
parent unit. If there is a way to solve that problem it would be
helpful, too.

Not that I am aware of. I was trying to do the same thing and ended
up with an option that had a number of chld: attributes to set the
child stats to those of the parent:
chld:ChildType@Stat=(Stat)

I don't know how useful this is to you :-)

Okay, I have done this, it worked, thanks. ;)

Now, one more question, is there a way to clean it up so there's no
slash? I can't find any way to do it in the datadef or as a race
option to only show attributes without the slash (either 'base'
or 'stat'), and when I try to do "base:qty=(qty)" it gives me an
error message, I guess you can't reflexively define a stat?

Thank you for all your help,

John

(Chuckle) Another one that I already have on the wishlist for Rob (I
hope it's on the list, I know I've asked about it before :-), a way
to modify the base stat using chld:

At the moment you need two stats, one you modify using your options,
the other you have as a derived stat (via the definition file.
For example: Stat1 is hidden and it's the stat you do your stuffing
with, then you have another stat, Stat, that is not hidden and is
defined to be equal to Stat1.

I don't think I explained that very well, look back through the
archives for this egroup, Rob has explained it much better before.

Enjoy,
Russell.
