Either Or Pre-Requisite

Hello all,

I'm trying to set up some chain-type things within HeroLab for a custom class. I'll keep it as to the point as possible:

Custom Ability is Telekinetic Blast [cTelekinWildTal]
Requirement for Custom Ability is the Custom Ability "Aether" [cTelekinet]
Next step progression is the Custom Ability "Aether" (It's the 2nd tier) [cEE1AetherKinet]
Final step progression is the Custom Ability "Aether" (It's the final tier) [cEE2AetherKinet]

I need[cTelekinWildTal] to be selectable within a Configure tab if either [cTelekinet] and [cEE1AetherKinet] are on the hero, or just [cTelekinet] or just [cEE1AetherKinet], or just [cEE2AetherKinet]

I suck at understanding and working the code system, and thus resort to finding alike things that I'm going for and copy/pasting until everything works as intended. This is what I have, and I don't think it's entirely right:

Code:

~ define a work variable of Valid Count

var ValidCnt as number



~ Set to initially a value of zero

ValidCnt = 0



~ If level 7+ and Expanded Element then we are valid

If (herofield[xTotalLev].value >= 7) Then

   ~ we also need Expanded Element to be valid

   If (#hasability[cEE1AetherKinet] <> 0) Then

      ValidCnt += 1

   Endif

Endif



~ If Elemental Focus and Expanded Element then we are also valid

If (#hasability[cTelekinet] + #hasability[cEE1AetherKinet] <> 0) Then

   ValidCnt += 1

Endif



~ If either test conditions above are VALID then we are valid

validif (ValidCnt > 0)

EDIT: Also, is there a way to make an eval script give an error in a panel if a per-requisite wasn't met?
EDIT2: How to set level requirements with an Eval Script?

I appreciate any and all help, thanks!

I figured out how to do it. I spend the past 48 hours researching and making everything good. When it comes to hierarchical setup, I had to set it up in a stepping method. This is what I ended up doing (with a different ability):

Code:

~ define a work variable of Valid Count

var ValidCnt as number



~ Set to initially a value of zero

ValidCnt = 1



~ If other elements, then invalid

If (#hasability[cGeokinet] + #hasability[cPyrokinet] + #hasability[cAirKinet] <> 0) Then

   ValidCnt -= 1

endif

~ If Hydro then we are valid

If (#hasability[cHydroKinet] <> 0) Then

   ValidCnt += 1

endif



If (#hasability[cEE1PyroKinet] + #hasability[cEE1GeoKinet] + #hasability[cEE1AirKinet] <> 0) Then

   ValidCnt -= 1

Endif



~ If Fire Element or Water then we are also valid

If (#hasability[cEE1HydroKinet] <> 0) Then

   ValidCnt += 1

endif



If (#hasability[cEE2PyroKinet] + #hasability[cEE2GeoKinet] + #hasability[cEE2AirKinet] <> 0) Then

   ValidCnt -= 1

Endif



If (#hasability[cEE2HydroKinet] + #hasability[cEE1HydroKinet] + #hasability[cHydroKinet] <> 0) Then

   ValidCnt += 2

endif



If (#hasability[cWaterWildTal] <> 0) Then

   ValidCnt -= 3

endif



If (#hasability[cEE2HydroKinet] + #hasability[cEE1HydroKinet] <> 0) then

   ValidCnt += 2

endif



If (#hasability[cEE2PyroKinet] + #hasability[cEE2GeoKinet] + #hasability[cEE2AirKinet] <> 0) Then

   ValidCnt -= 1

Endif



If (#hasability[cEE1PyroKinet] + #hasability[cEE1GeoKinet] + #hasability[cEE1AirKinet] <> 0) Then

   ValidCnt -= 1

Endif



~ If either test conditions above are VALID then we are valid

validif (ValidCnt >= 1)

Hopefully this helps anyone figure out how to self-solve an either-or for prerequisites.
