Hello, I just started get errors that close out AB when I select a certain unit. It never did this before. What's going on?
Thanks,

What data files are you using, what unit are you talking about, did
you change ANYTHING in the data files since it last worked?
Check the comments/notes/report fields for the unit and any auto
selected options - I have known AB to crash when fed larger than
normally allowed amounts of text in these fields...
Cheers,
Russell.

Subject: limiting units via other units
Hello again. I have a Firefly Gun Tank Platoon that can only be taken if the user did not add any Firefly tanks to their Armoured Platoon unit. I saw the attribute "reqd", but that only seems to work if you need a Firefly in the Armoured Platoon to allow the Firefly Gun Tank Platoon. I need it to work the other way. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Keith

I think you'll need to use a validation rule for this one. I'm not
sure if you can restrict options/children in one unit based on the
options/children in another unit - pretty sure the best you can do
is flag an error (using tlmt, trat or ulmt or combinbations of the
three)
Cheers,

Sounds like corruption in one of the data files...
Try using abcreate /t to create a text version of the file - eyeball
that with something like excel (it's a tab seperated file) and then
recreate your data file from the text file using abdata. If there's
errors there, abdata will probably find them.
Make sure you backup the data files first!
Don't think there's any other way I could help without actually
seeing the files...
Cheers,
Russell.

Subject: Data File help
Hello,
I have what is most likely a frequent question but I cannot find the answer.
Suppose I have a unit "A" with options 1,3,5
And a child unit "B" with options 2,4,6
There exists a 1:1 relationship between 1,2 and 3,4 and 5,6
How do I get unit B to automatically pick the corresponding option (2,4, or 6) based on what the user selects for A (1, 3 or 5)?
If it helps, pretend that Unit A is Knights and Option 1 is Barding
Unit B is Knight Leader and Option 2 is Leader Barding.
If the Knights take Barding the (child) leader unit must take Leader Barding.
Thanks in advance for your help,
John

Subject: Changing a units Comp
Is there a way to have a unit reassign it's Composition when it is selected as an ally? I've played around with "xcmp:" but it reassigns the Comp for the primary race as well. For example:
Race 1 has Unit A as Troop choice. Race 2 can take Unit A but, it becomes a Support choice for Race 2.
Thanks,
Keith
