Data File Tips Tricks

Show/Hide

Due to a bug in the iOS version of Battlescribe, if things are set to Hidden with a Condition to Show, they not display properly. This can be averted by setting everything to Show, with a Condition to Hide them. This accomplishes the same end result, just goes about it the opposite way.

This is especially useful when limiting what choices are available for armies like CSM who have two supplements, or C:SM who has 87 different Decurion forces currently.

1. Add Modifier to object to Hide
2. Add Condition
3. Set Condition to either "Equal to 0 Selections of X" or "Instance of X."

Helpful Practices

• Any new entries you create should typically be under Shared Entries and have a link created to them as an unshared entry. This allows more versatility when referencing units when new formations are released, and makes updating much easier.
• For Flyers, given new Death from the Skies rules: Set up a new entry for your Flyer Wings with an Entry Group with min/max of 2/4. This way you can reference the flyer individually if needed for a formation (Khorne's Bloodstorm for example) and still be able to access the flyer wing (for Air Superiority Detachment). I then linked to the Flyer Wing as a Fast Attack choice and created a second link to it set as a Flyer Wing.
