Subject: Global attributes
Rob, I need help!
I've been at this one for a few weeks, but still haven't got it working.
The army has six options that, when chosen, apply to the whole army.
However, only one option may be chosen.
I gave each option the 'glob:auto' attribute, but every unit ended up with
all six options, before I even gave any unit the option.
There is a unit in the army that must be taken, who also happens to be the
general, and I would like the options to be selected through him.

Subject: [40k 3rd Chaos file] Daemon Prince error
The latest version of the 40k patch to come out, v3.9, says it fixed the
error with the Daemon Prince wings, so rather than moving like a it has a
Jumppack, it makes a 12" assault move ignoring terrain instead. I didn't
think that was an error, however. I'm fairly sure than in the Chapter
Approved book, Daemon Prince wings let it move like a jump pack, and hence
Greater Daemons are the only ones with the goofy wings that only let you move
12" in the assault phase. Am I right in this? I don't have a copy of C:CA,
so I'm just relying on what I thought I remembered.

The point cost of a unit is assigned solely to the one composition group it
belongs to. However, you can use the "acmp" option attribute to adjust the
model and/or unit counts of other composition groups if you wish.

Subject: Re: Global attributes
The "glob" attribute is working as it should. When you mark as an option as
"glob", that option is automatically assigned to EVERY option in the entire
system. If you specify "glob:cost", then the option will need to be
selected by the user, but it will be available for every unit.
Based on your description, I recommend the following....
1. Define your six options and assign them all to the same conflict group.
This way, only one can be selected by the user.
2. Use the "more" attribute to chain each of these options off of the
"general" option. If a unit is assigned the "general" option, all six of
the army-wide options will appear for that unit.
3. Have each of your six options assign the type "ArmyOption" (or whatever)
to the unit via the "type" attribute.
4. Use a "tlmt" attribute to enforce that a minimum of 1 unit with type
"ArmyOption" exist within the army.
I think the above ought to solve the problem for you....
Hope this helps,
Rob
