Hi Zac,
Not exactly.
I have male and female voices. I wanted to make a warrior that is male, and a
warrior that is female. I couldn't make a warrior female cause I can't have the
same exact file name twice. So I had to rename all the female duplicates of the
units diffrent names.
For example a paladin is male, a crusader is female, a rogue is male, a thief
is female, etc.
In the game at present it isn't a problem.
But for a multiplayer game, I am thinking that lots of options are going to
have to go into a game before more then one person can play it.
I guess the players would have options before starting a game, like chooseing
gender, which team, difficulty, number of players (my map is going to be
designed for more then one player), inputing names and who knows what else.
I guess ina multiplayer, everyone has a team and chan choose the same unit, but
then could choose gender if applicable.
Currently however, what I have is ten units five male and five female and all
with diffrent class names just for the sake of having female sounds. So I was
wondering if it was possible to have just one unit, but which can somehow have
a gender flag for the player of a map to change from one to the other. I guess
it isn't a big deal, but there is some some class names that don't have male
and female , or diffrent words to mean the same general thing.
For example, a cop. I would change that to male cop and female cop as two
diffrent units, but actually saying female and male is kind of clunky. I just
want a cop. I hope I explained it all right. I admit it isn't really all that
pressing, just a thought really.
thanks,
al

In sound rts, when defining a unit you can have a "is_a" line followed
by a unit name, which causes this unit to automatically inherit all
the properties of that unit and allows you to only specify the ones
you want to change, for example the keep has a line that says "is_a
townhall" and then only has lines for its max hp, cost etc, only those
things that are different from the townhall. Would this be what
you're looking for? Or is having separate units at all the problem.
You can always change a specific unit's flags within the map file,
I've never tried it with sound but I think it would work.
