Imperial Guard Platoons

[MFive]

I have been editing the 40k files, and i am trying to add a series of options to the platoons, that if one is selected, the same option is taken by all squads held within

I have tried using a series of mirror options, but have not been able to get them to function properly, mostly due to my lack of understanding of how exactly they work, is their a manual or wiki that i can consult on this, or is it a simple fix?

Hi, i am relatively new to editing AB files, and am trying to implement a homebrew version of the doctrines for the IG, but have had problems with the platoons.

My exact problem lies in making it so that the option(doctrine) taken by the platoon "header" unit forces the same changes to the command squad and infantry squad.

i have made futile attempts at using a mirror system, but i cannot get them to work(under any circumstances) and have resorted to forcing the user to select the option for each squad individually.

can any one help with this?

P.S: thanks for making these amazing files, they have been a huge help to us

Hi there MFive... happy to help.  Can you PM me with which version of the files you are using, and whether you are using "Codex:Astra Militarum" or "Imperial Guard"?

You'll notice I've done something simliar with the Vets doctines in C:AM, can porbably help you make some mods to that code that will work pretty quickly.

I would PM as requested, but the PM was flagged as spam and would not send

Due to spamming when new users can post without moderation there are controls on place to prevent sending PMs until a certain number of approved posts has been reached. Sorry about the inconvenience.

ah, ok, do you know how many post's i need?

[Spack]

Yes. Not going to post the number though, as that would give the spammers details on how to avoid the block. Try sending a PM and see what happens.

i didn't know spammers where such a problem on this forum

The anti spam controls work really well. Before I implemented them we used to get spam daily in the forums and the bug tracker, but the various layers filter out the junk posts at different stages and we get almost nothing now. The system logs still show a few attempts a day at posting spam, so it's working well

I am glad that it works! the last forum that i saw had similar problems, it was Bolter and Chainsword and they were getting DoS attacks

MFive... working on a reply to you now.  Stand by for a PM later today.
