A few more script questions

Hi everyone,

I've got a few more questions about scripts that are confounding me. Any help would be very appreciated.

1. Trying to put a class ability that grants fast healing when current hit points are below 50% of total hit points. I'm having trouble locating the child that current hit points are stored. Can anyone help direct me?

2. Another problem is a custom expression I am trying to write that does a foreach on memorized spells. I found a tag group name 'Memorized', so I used the following script:

Code:

foreach pick in hero from BaseSpell where "Memorized.?"

     field[usrCandid1].text = splice(field[usrCandid1].text, eachpick.tagids[thingid.?], " | ")

     nexteach

But the results produced all spells in the hero's spellbook, not just the ones they had memorized. What's the correct tag to use in the custom expression?

3. Lastly (same ability as #2), once the user selects a memorized spell, I want to change the tag or field to reflect that it has been cast. I found the field 'sCastCount', but that produced an error message, so I tried decreasing the field 'sCastLeft', which didn't error, but did not produce the desired result. Guidance on this would be great.

Thanks as always, and happy holidays to all of you.

Update to question 1: I found the child by using the 'Show Task List (Active Hero)' floating info window in the Develop menu! Total and current hit points are stored in the child "Totals".

I hope this helps anyone with similar problems.

The spells cast is tracked in the in play or spells tab.

Right, I found those, but none of the fields that I tried accomplish the goal. I tried 'sCastCount', but that produced an error message, so I tried decreasing the field 'sCastLeft', which didn't error, but did not produce the desired result. Not sure where to go from here.:confused:

What are you trying to do with the loop/script?

The goal is to create a usr field where the candidates are memorized spells.

Is this limited to just spellbook casters, or should it be catching, for example, spells memorized by a cleric? Should it not be iterating through spells known, like a sorcerer gets?

Just spellbook casters, this is a class ability for a class that memorizes arcane spells.

SpellType.cHelpXXX (replace XXX with whatever is appropriate for your class) and CasterType.MemBook

Thanks Aaron. I got an invalid tag expression when I used this script:

Code:

foreach pick in hero from BaseSpell where "SpellType.cHelpArn" & "CasterType.MemBook"

I get the feeling it's because the tag "SpellType.cHelpArn" isn't located in the BaseSpell component.
