Error Message, what does it mean?

[Guru80]

Everything looks correct in the file but what would cause the following error message?

Line 11230: => ApplyCreateUnit command, the unit Vaughan's Bde can't be merged with unit Vaughan's Bde the total SU exceeds the max number allowed.

I think it would help if you posted the script components you have that include any references to Vaughan's brigade?

It sounds like you have listed names for more elements than the unit can hold, though. SU = Sub-Unit (my guess)

I think I remember an error from this before. Check to see if the division you have created actually has the correct number.

For exmaple, if you have the following in the scenario file...

StartUnit|3|uni_USA_Keim
uni_USA_BdeBM2PA
EndUnit|uni_USA_BdeBM5PA

That means the division that Keim is commanding must have 3 units (Keim and the 2 brigades). If you put in a larger or smaller number you could get errors. I believe your error is that you have a division created with only (say) 4 units, and you gave it the number 5, and it tries to unite Vaughan's brigade to itself (since there probably is no other unit in the stack).

You may have done something like this...

StartUnit|4|uni_USA_Keim
uni_USA_BdeBM2PA
EndUnit|uni_USA_BdeBM5PA

(the error here is that the scenario assumes that there are 4 units in the division, and sees only three, and tries to grab a 4th, but the only unit left in the stack to grab is a unit already in the stack, giving you the error).

Yeah it is from that, it has to be except I can't see my error..I have counted, re-counted and counted again and it should be 5....UGH...I am going to delete the division and do it over again. Had to run for a bit and just got back.......

If the problem persists post your script and I can take a look too.

Check to see the unit before it, and after it as well (just in case).

Ok, the actual units are not the right ones yet and the General images aren't either in this snippet (for the most part) Also, were I named the elements does it matter if they are named like that? Vaughan's Bde is the end of the Corp, next is one I haven't changed yet so there shouldn't be a problem with anything below it.

Until I edited this Corps everything was working perfectly.

Weird....I deleted the Vaughan's line, changed the StartUnit to 4 instead of 5 and put the EndUnit one line up and it works just fine. Changed it back to 5, added Vaughan again and it didn't work. Deleted Vaughan, added one I made up and it didn't work. Deleted it, changed it back to 4 and it worked.....ODD...

Any ideas?

[Guru80]

I THINK I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS!!!!!!

It has to do with how many elements all the units add up to. Each Division can only have 18 elements, if you go over that amount you get that damn error.

I have just been putting Random units as place holders until I finished everything else up. After getting that same error on 3 divisions now I started deleting the bottom Bde and work my way up and noticed after a couple getting deleted the error went away. Going to try and put the correct units in now and see what happens

Yup, that was it....talk about a frustrating little error on my behalf Ok, now that I got all the kinks worked out let me finish this damn thing up, lol
