What's tripping you up? Assigning and deleting tags or figuring out what the current tag is before deleting it?

If the former:

Code:

perform delete[CritMin.20]

perform assign[CritMin.19]

If the latter, take a look at the Ki Critical class special in Oriental Adventures.

My goal was to create a new material that you can select from customize weapon and having that lower you crit threat and change + to hit and damage.

I had no idea how to work with tags. I found this thread http://forums.wolflair.com/showthrea...t=threat+range
And got a bit confused to be honest. I kept getting error by following Mathias suggestion.

Here is the script. I just copied from Mathias post and modified it.

Code:

var crit as number

 

if (tagcount[wCritMin.?] > 0) then

  crit = field[chosen].chosen.tagmin[wCritMin.?]

else

  done

  endif

 

~now, we'll subtract one from the value we looked up:

 

crit -= 1

 

~and create a tag for that new value:

 

var newcrittag as string

newcrittag = "wCritMin." & crit

 

~Weapons are assumed to have exactly one wCritMin tag,

~so we'll delete anything that already exists,

~and then assign the new tag:

 

perform field[chosen].chosen.delete[wCritMin.?]

perform field[chosen].chosen.assignstr[newcrittag]

Thanks. This script should work if it's on the weapon. If the script is on a material being applied to the weapon, it won't work. This is because it's looking at the tags on itself. Where is the script? Also, are you getting any errors?

Ah the script is on the new material I am using and yes I am getting an error.

Syntax error in "eval" script for Thing 'mRedstl' (Eval Script '#2') on line 4 -> Non-existent filed 'chosen' by script

Ah, yes, that makes sense. You'll need to tell the script to look at the parent. Also, the error is because the original script you copied is for something that has a chooser.

Try the following and let me know what you get:

Code:

var crit as number

 

if (container.parent.tagcount[wCritMin.?] > 0) then

  crit =  container.parent.tagmin[wCritMin.?]

endif

 

~now, we'll subtract one from the value we looked up:

 

crit -= 1

 

~and create a tag for that new value:

 

var newcrittag as string

newcrittag = "wCritMin." & crit

 

~Weapons are assumed to have exactly one wCritMin tag,

~so we'll delete anything that already exists,

~and then assign the new tag:

 

perform container.parent.delete[wCritMin.?]

perform container.parent.assignstr[newcrittag]

I'm getting a Invalid syntax for tag template error when I try to use Red Steel as the Material Used when creating a custom weapon. I am making the weapon in Hero Lab under Magic, Custom & Masterwork weapon area. Just to clarify.
