Hi
I have an option listed in Unit Options whereby I want the cost of
the unit to be doubled when the option is selected - how do I do this?
Thanks
Pete

The problems came in progressively. I'd just started work on the files again
after upgrading, when I noticed the roster size problem. Further playing around
trying to work out what was causing that revealed the composition group problem.
Then, a couple of days later, all the text fields in the Creator went crazy. They
were definitely working okay for a while after the upgrade.

No, just the "0.0pts allocated etc" message. That one was definitely related to
the nine-character type. The roster size problem remains even after trimming the
types.

I don't know how widespread it is. Certainly not all files are affected, for
example I've had a look at a few of the most recent updates off the web, and they
all seem to work perfectly.

That depends on exactly what you want to do. Do you want the base cost of
the unit to be doubled (i.e. a unit that cost 150 points now costs 300),
the cost of the unit including all options and items to be doubled, the
cost of a single model to be doubled, or something else?
