Trainable=Yes

[bobing]

trainable is the tag that allows it, but you might want to also look at other units like tanks to get the other tags. like ElitePrimary=.

Also you might like to copy those tags from units:

VeteranAbilities=XXXXX
EliteAbilities=XXXXX

And you might as well stop being lazy and start using notepad :lol:

Notepad forever! If you wanna mod properly use notepad. It has full capability of making great mod.

[bobing]

forget notepad, use wordpad in ascii/ansi mode.

notepad is definitly better than tibed, but wordpad is better still.

Things like EditPad Pro ($hareware) and similar, which support regular expressions in find/replace, are so much better still.
(Regular expressions are life-savers in certain cases, and I'm including their support in INI Editor V2.)

[bobing]

what you mean by "Regular Expressions"?

when finding something i usually do a search for it and find it.

[DCoder]

OK, let's take a simple example:
How many searches will it take you to find things that cost from 500 to 999 credits?
Either you just search for "Cost=" and look at ~300 entries with 2/3rds of them irrelevant, or search for "Cost=5", "Cost=6", ... "Cost=9" and take five searches, as well as catching Cost=5000 things.
I, on the other hand, will just search for "Cost=[5-9]\d\d\b" , and voila: I will find all objects that have a Cost= set to a "three-digit number starting with 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, that is followed by any non-numeric character (including endline)".

RegExps are fantastically powerful and helpful, not only in ini coding, but also in any other text editing related work. Automatic e-mail validation, fixing duplicated words ("this this" => "this"), BBCode <> HTML, you name it, regexp can do it.
