I'm trying to use -istype in a tlmt racial attribute. this works,
but
what I actually want to use is -istype=!type. The program will not
allow me to save the race with the ! in place, but doesn't mind if it
isn't there. What's wrong?

-istype is an old thing that doesn't support type negation (i.e. the !).
Either that or it was meant to, but it doesn't work. :(

Well then, how can I implement a validation rule that an option
available to many of the units in the game is valid only if the army
commander has selected a certain option?

Yeah, it should, but it doesn't. There's the same problem with a lot of
the -race and -when qualifiers.

Make the option the commander must select assign a type "Gibbon"
(type:Gibbon), and the option the troops have to select assign a type
"Chimp" (type:Chimp). Then use:

reqd:type=Gibbon@0u:1u-when=Chimp

That should do it.

It's a bug. :-( I should work, but the parser is bitching about it, so I
have to fix it.

Sorry, Rob

The "-race" and "-when" qualifiers were never intended to support the '!'
form. Only the "-istype" qualifier. Please check the docs, and you will
find this to be the case. Therefore, only the "-istype" is a bug. :-P

Thanks, Rob

I must have some from a parallel universe, then, because my -race and -
istype docs say they *do* support it (Kit manual, p43). You're right
about -when.

Also, the Clan War files use -race=!xx quite a lot :)

Crap! You're right - I just rechecked the docs. That'll learn me! :-)

The problem with "-istype" will is slated for correction in V2.0b, which
ought to be ought in the not too distant future (I had wanted it by now,
but everything else keeps getting in the way).

Thanks, Rob
