Inter Option Dependance

Alrighty

A unit has 3 weapon choices, A B and C. each of them can be chosen
as a range, but you can't have weapon A and weapon B in the same
unit. You can have A and C or B and C, all A, or all B, but not A
and B.

Is there a function that will send up a flag if the user chooses some
of A and some of B?

Why not give A the attribute over:B=deselect and B the attribute
over:A=deselect?

Excellent idea. If you don't like that method and prefer using a validation
rule, simply have option A assign "typeA" to the unit and option B assign
"typeB". You can then use a "trat" attribute to verify that the presence of
typeA precludes the presence of typeB.

Thanks, Rob

I believe this should work, as long as you have the ranges start at zero.
If the ranges start at non-zero values, this will definitely NOT work. It's
also possible that I'm very rusty at the nuances of the "over" attribute
and that I'm forgetting an important reason why this doesn't work. But
Colen uses the "over" attribute extensively, so I'm inclined to trust his
recommendation on this one.

Thanks, Rob

tried it with the over finction and couldn't get it to work. I'll
try it with the trat...that I believe is exactly what I was looking
for. I'm just dense that I didn't think of it.

OK

I set OptionA to rang:0-8 and over:OptionB=deselect, and OptionB to
rang:0-8 and over:OptionA=deselect.

When I run AB, Both options start at zero, which is correct, but then
you start adding one option the other option does not deselect, and
you are still able to take that option.

I looked into using the typeA, typeB, trat method but I don't believe
this will work as this is used between two units...whan I need is to
prevent the same unit from taking the two different options.
