AB40k Maintainers

Hi all,

I have a bit of a conumdrum that I hope you can help me with.

I am doing a new 40k army list and in that list I have a unit that can be equipped like:-

CC Weapon
Bolt Pistol

They come as standard.

the entire unit can opt to swap both CC Weapon and Bolt Pistol for a Bolter.

Okay....I can get that to work via exclusion groups, but my problem is the next bit.

I have a special weapon that I have equipped (lets call this weaponX).

If I select 1 weaponX I need it to deduct 1 from the total Bolt Pistols (but not the CC Weapon).

OR

If I have already opted for the Bolter option I need it to deduct 1 from the Bolter count, when I add 1 weaponX.

I have successfully managed to get one or the other working (i.e I can get the bolt pistols to be deducted from (via remainders) or I can swap the CC Weapons for Bolter (via exclusion groups)) but I cannot get them to all work together.

Am I being clear enough?

I will try and sum up.

Unit A - 10 men

10 x CC Weapon
10 x Bolt Pistol

Option to replace both with 10 x Bolter

If I Choose 1 x WeaponX I need to deduct 1 from Bolter or Bolt Pistol (but not CC Weapon)

So it would look like:-

10 x CC Weapon
9 x Bolt Pistol

1 x WeaponX

OR

9 x Bolter
1 x WeaponX

Any ideas?

Hi mate,

not an answer I'm afraid but can you explain how you got the swap of weapons to work?

You probably worked out how to do the whole thing already but just in case, here's how I got it working:

Create a normal (non-accrued, non-global) tag 'tgMyTags.tBoltP'. Assign the tag to the unit.

Create an option 'oSwapWpn', name 'Swap BP/CCW for Bolter'. In the Eval script, put:

Code: Select all

var retval as number
retval = this.unit.delete[tgMyTags.tBoltP]

Add the option 'oSwapWpn' to your unit. Cost 'free'; priority '1'.

Add the bolt pistol option to your unit. Cost 'free'; priority 2 or more; remainder 'range_m'; live:

Code: Select all

tgMyTags.tBoltP

Add the CCW option to your unit. Cost 'free'; priority 2 or more; remainder 'close_m'; live:

Code: Select all

tgMyTags.tBoltP

Add the bolter option to your unit. Cost 'free'; priority 2 or more; remainder 'range_m'; live:

Code: Select all

!tgMyTags.tBoltP

Add the special weapon option to your unit. Range 0-1; priority 2 or more; exclusion 1 against 'range_m'.

That should just about do it!
