~Get out now if wearing shield help

[nextgenrpg]

Hey, I cannot figure out how to add shield to this script:

~ Get out now if wearing Medium or Heavy armor
doneif (hero.tagis[Hero.MedArmor] + hero.tagis[Hero.HeavyArmor] <> 0)

Specifically, I'd like to have this work where a buckler is the only shield you can wear without the script ending.

Essentially, this is a feat that requires that you be wearing light or no armor, and may not use shields except bucklers.

I tried adding hero.shield or hero.lightshield or hero.heavyshield but those don't seem to exist. Is there a comprehensive list of item references somewhere?

Thanks in advance.

Unique Id's for shields

Buckler ID = shBuckler

Heavy Steel Shield ID = shHvSteel

Light Steel Shield ID = shLtSteel

Tower Shield ID = shTower

Make a new character. Add a buckler. Equip the buckler.

Go to "Develop->Floating Info Windows->Show Hero Tags" will show you every tag currently active on the hero. Look through the list for helpful tags. We find we have "Hero.EquipShld" and "ShldClass.Buckler" when a buckler is equipped. Or we have "Hero.EquipShld" and "ShldClass.Light" when its a light shield.

So with this info we can do the following:

~ Get out now if wearing Medium or Heavy armor
doneif (hero.tagis[Hero.MedArmor] + hero.tagis[Hero.HeavyArmor] <> 0) 
~ Get out now if wearing a shield besides a buckler
doneif (hero.tagis[Hero.EquipShld] - hero.tagis[ShldClass.Buckler] <> 0)

So tagis returns 1 or 0. So if we have a equipped shield (Hero.EquipShld) we get a value of 1. If its a Buckler (ShldClass.Buckler) it will also return 1 giving a final result of 1 - 1 = 0 which when compared to not equal to 0 will return false. If we have a light shield we get 1 - 0 = 1 which is NOT equal to zero and will return TRUE and end the script.
